Then you should probably start here:

Unfortunately, your question is too vague for me to answer.  Perhaps
you should read the SAML Technical Overview:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/6837/sstc-saml-tech-overview-1.1-cd.pdf

Maybe it describes a use case similar to yours.

Alas, this is a FAQ for which there is no satisfactory answer.  The
usual response is to look at Shibboleth as the prototypical example of
how OpenSAML is used:

http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/docs/draft-mace-shibboleth-tech-overview-latest.pdf

That may be way more than what you're interested in, however.  If you
could describe your use case in more detail, maybe we could provide
better pointers.
