unfortunately, until the license situation is 
clarified, none  of the programmers working on 
Shib 2 can look at any of the eduGAIN code. 
Juergen -- if you can help move this  along, that 
would be immensely helpful.....

Interestingly, I'm not a Shib programmer, and no 
one in their right mind would let me near the 
Shib code -- so I took a look.  ;-)  Looking at 
the comments in the svn log, I see lots of 
mention of OpenSAML 2 -- we had no idea you were 
using our latest code.....

so... does the eduGAIN filter support the SAML 2 
Web SSO profile, with the IdP POSTing a signed 
and encrypted  authentication response and 
attributes?

Does the eduGAIN filter interoperate directly with a Shib v2 IdP ?

I have a copy of the eduGAIN Architecture 
document that is more than two years old -- is 
there a more recent copy of that document? Any 
other interesting documents (eg descriptions of 
the profiles)?

Thanks!
