OpenSAML user discussion

["Pantvaidya, Vishwajit" <>]

Sorry for posting this here but was a very quick one - As I go through
Shibboleth docs, I am wondering if, presuming we use Shibboleth for our SP,
and I send a Shib auth request to the IdP, would the IdP need to be
Shib-aware to be able to handle the request. As far as I can see, auth
request seems to be a Shib extension and so an IdP that supports purely SAML
1.1 may not be able to process our auth request.
