SAML works on the principle of an ID Provider (server) and a Service Provider(SP). If you can visualize a Hub and Spoke, ID Provider is the hub, and all SSO'ing (for the leack of a better word) apps are SPs. Active Directory is a Directory, a list of names, their relationships, their passwords and their access rights. The ID Provider uses the Active Directory as a "User Data Store". However, it is possible, some Directories throw in the layer of ID Provider on top of the User Data Store, to preclude the need for another player. I do not know if Windows Active Dir does that or not. If it does, perhaps you have answered ny question. But then, I need more details such as : which version, some URLs etc. I was basically looking at free products such as OpenSSO, OpenAM, etc all opinions expressed are mine and only mine. not to be attributed to the other IP address sharers, my employer, or any other human, animal, robot or alien. |

Has anyone worked on SAML 2.0 based SSO, in particular setting up and configuraing a test Identity Provider? Pref Linux, but Windows is also fine. all opinions expressed are mine and only mine. not to be attributed to the other IP address sharers, my employer, or any other human, animal, robot or alien. |
