OpenSAML user discussion

Sorry, should have provided more detail:

WebSphere Platform 6.1 [BASE 6.1.0.2
cf20633.22]  running with process name DWS3WACH37czwc1Node01Cell\DWS3WACH37czwc1Node01\server1
and process id 4332
Host Operating System is Windows XP,
version 5.1 build 2600 Service Pack 2
Java version = J2RE 1.5.0 IBM J9 2.3
Windows XP x86-32 j9vmwi3223-20060504 (JIT enabled)
J9VM - 20060501_06428_lHdSMR
JIT  - 20060428_1800_r8
GC   - 20060501_AA, Java Compiler
= j9jit23, Java VM name = IBM J9 VM

Here are the security providers for
this JVM:
security.provider.1=com.ibm.crypto.provider.IBMJCE
security.provider.2=com.ibm.jsse.IBMJSSEProvider
security.provider.3=com.ibm.jsse2.IBMJSSEProvider2
security.provider.4=com.ibm.security.jgss.IBMJGSSProvider
security.provider.5=com.ibm.security.cert.IBMCertPath
security.provider.6=com.ibm.crypto.pkcs11.provider.IBMPKCS11
security.provider.7=com.ibm.security.cmskeystore.CMSProvider
security.provider.8=com.ibm.security.jgss.mech.spnego.IBMSPNEGO

And I add bouncycastle in the code.
 This is just my sandbox.
