OpenSAML user discussion

I mean Extensions element of SAML 2 protocol message. We had a situation to support some extra attributes in Authorizations (We are not using XACML). Could you provide some sample code to build this one?

Do you mean software extensions to the library, or do you mean use of
the Extensions element of SAML 2 protocol message?

In terms of the latter, you just add what extension XMLObjects you want
to the protocol message Extensions object, by calling
Extensions#getUnknownXMLObjects(), and adding/processing what you want
to the List that is returned (just like other list return types in
OpenSAML).

Of course defining what extensions you use and what they mean and how
they are processed on the receiver side is all up to you, if there's not
an existing profile for that extension.
