Shibboleth Developers

[Alistair Young <>]

Do you mean all the SAML1.1 browser profiles Tom? Browser/POST, 
Artifact etc?

Is it likely that a single application would support all possible SAML 
profiles?

The JISC funded Guanxi project:
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=project_guanxi
http://www.guanxi.uhi.ac.uk
http://sourceforge.net/projects/guanxi/

is an open source implementation of the SAML1.1 Shibboleth profile, 
i.e. it's a Shibboleth compatible IdP and SP.

SAMUEL (SAMl Used in E Learning) is an open source partial 
imlementation of the SAML1.1 spec. It's a toolkit for building SAML 
packets. It's part of the Guanxi project.

Currently Guanxi is an IdP with the SP part due out in the next few 
months.

The open source Bodington VLE has an embedded Guanxi IdP, giving it 
Shibboleth compatibility out of the box:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bodington
