OpenSAML user discussion

[Chad la Joie <>]

Just to add a bit more to what Scott said.

If you're looking for a base library to parse SAML messages the current 
code bases are pretty stable.  We have a couple API tweaks (class name 
alignments) that we'll be doing this week, but after that we aren't 
aware of any others we'll need to make.  So the library would include 
building/marshalling/unmarshalling support, digital signature support, 
and a couple of trust engines driven by SAML 2 metadata.

If you're looking for transpot/binding/profile support that won't be 
there.  Personally, if you are looking for that, I'd like to hear what 
you need.  I've been having a hard time coming up with an architecture, 
that I like, for that functionality.
