OpenSAML user discussion

[Shrenik <>]

as discussed in the pdf file:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/22553/sstc-saml-tech-overview-2%200-draft-13.pdf

there are two ways of authenticating the user:

1. service provider initiated authentication (SP initiated)

2. ID provider initiated authentication (IdP initiated)

 

In case of SP initiated authentication, we can go with post binding or artifact binding(section 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 in the above pdf has the explanation). But if we choose our implementation to be IdP initiated authentication, the above mentioned pdf has explanation only for post binding(section 4.1.4).

So can we choose artifact binding for IdP initiated authentication, if yes it would be helpful if you could point me out the doc for the same.

 

Regards,

Shrenik.

I'm not sure what you mean by IdP-initiated artifact.  OpenSAML supports the creation of artifacts and storing those for later looking up the message based on the artifact.  Such support has nothing to do with which role the sender is currently operating in.
