OpenSAML user discussion

Hi,

 

Currently I am doing a traineeship here at Info Support. The project is doing 
research and making a proof of concept to develop a WS-Federation and SAML 
2.0 hybrid federation environment.

We’ve been researching quite some options the past weeks and also came across 
OpenSAML 2.0.

Though still in development, we are interested in its capabilities and like 
to be able to use it for testing. Basically I’ve tried to get the C++ version 
of OpenSAML2 to work using the Trunk checkout of SVN. I’m using Visual Studio 
2005 Pro but am getting a lot of errors about not being able to instantiate a 
abstract class “opensaml2\saml\saml2\metadata\metadata.h(161) : error C2259: 
'xmltooling::AttributeExtensibleXMLObject' : cannot instantiate abstract 
class”.

And a lot more.

Now I know this is of course still an alpha/beta version, but is it workable 
yet? So far, this is the only implementation of SAML2 I’ve seen out there, 
unless anybody knows of any other, I’d like to know to….

If possible I’d like to be able to use the OpenSAML2 library in our 
research/proof of concept project. Could you shed some light on the 
possibilities of the library in the near future?

 

Regards,
