Yes, both Browser/POST and Browser/Artifact (so only Shib 1.3 qualifies).

There are only two SAML 1.1 profiles (above), so the requirements are
not too steep.  Of course SAML2 is another question altogether.

Is Guanxi a deployment of Shibboleth or an implementation of
Shibboleth?  (An implementation would be reinventing the wheel.)
