Location of data in Self-issued card
I have a question about the location of user data in Self-issued card. After I generate a self-issued card, where the user data is located? Does it save with self-issued card or does it save at self-issued identity provider storage? I’m not clear about it. Please help me. Thank you.
The data is stored on your local hard-drive in the encrypted card store. The card store is not accessible from your user account, it is ACL'd for system use only. (which is why we need NTFS for it). If the ACLs are changed, or the store is altered, CardSpace refuses to even load the store.
There is no external self-issued identity provider storage.
