Speaking of the Java Service Provider  -- is that in the current release or is that coming out in 1.3? I’m much rather use this code as the basis for my next revision on WebCT/Shib integration than continuing with my homegrown code.

The C++ and Java Service Providers have potential differences in their configuration philosophy. Currently the same configuration file generates the same result thanks to careful programming.

 

Everything you need is already part of the protocol and configuration schemas. I would argue that the current C++ code and the resulting configuration examples assume some redundancy in items that need not be redundant. There are some interesting possibilities here if we are willing to draw some distinctions. Or maybe not.

 

I have written a rather extensive discussion of the interplay between parameters, and lay some proposals on the table for a broader interpretation. See
