Passport SDK not avaliable anymore?

Hi,

I would want to use .Net Passport authentication for asp.net websites.

According to Msdn (VStudio 2005), the passport SDK has to be downloaded first. But the link given in msdn is no longer valid.

I searched the net and microsoft's website but cant find any place to download the passport SDK.

Has microsoft withdrawn support for the .net passport SDK?

Are there any links to download the SDK?Windows Server 2003 includes the SDK but have you checked these links yet?

Seems they have retired the 2.5 SDK and have changed the name to Relying Party Suite and required you to register and subscribe to it.

Hi RobDog,

I've tried the links and after some furthur surfing, you are right. MS has withdrawn support for the passport SDK.

Unfortunately, the Relying sdk requires a rather large annual fee to be paid :mad:

Thanks for the reply though :)
