OpenSAML user discussion

[Chad La Joie <>]

A couple of updates on OpenSAML.

opensaml.org has been moved to the Internet2 wiki to make it easier for 
us to update and manage.  No new documentation is yet available but the 
information from the Shibboleth wiki and the old opensaml.org site has 
been moved into this new wiki.  The next step, obviously, is to start 
adding documentation.  One group using the library has expressed 
interest in doing this, so, with luck, we might have some new docs in 
the future.  Also, I added a list of projects, that I know of, that are 
using OpenSAML.  If you're on this email list and you're using the 
library feel free to add yourself.

The EGEE Collaboration has contributed its second batch of code to the 
OpenSAML project.  This code is focused on WS-Trust, WS-Security, 
WS-Addressing, and a small bit of WS-Policy and will be used in the 
WS-Trust STS to be built on to of Shibboleth.  The initial import has 
been done and is available in 'wstrustIntegration' branch of the OpenWS 
project.  As with their initial XACML contribution this code won't be in 
the initial release of the library but will be added in shortly thereafter.

We are currently expecting to release Shibboleth 2.0 next week.  Part of 
this release process will include the 2.0 releases of the OpenSAML C++ & 
Java libraries.
