There was a meeting on the afternoon of Thursday, August 9th, 2007 to discuss the UI issues of authenticating to the MIT IdP. The attendees were Joanna, Josh, Bob, and Paul (for part of the meeting).
Much of the feedback regarding the sample screen shots of one proposed UI has raised concerns about the complexity. Josh and Joanna suggested that we revisit the various potential flows and try to come up with a simple, base UI.
The attached PDF captures the diagram that was created on the whiteboard during the meeting.
The main findings of the meeting were:
- Three buttons (one each for Certificates, Kerberos (http-spnego), and Username/Password)
- Have a seperate page to set preferences (and perhaps test choices).
- Eliminate the "confirmation page" that has existed in the prototype when authentication is successful.
Paul had to leave before the meeting concluded. It is his understanding that Joanna will work with Bob to create some simple HTML example page(s) for the top level page.
