Wow… LOTS of replies.  Thank you all, upfront, for getting back to me J.

 

To start off,

 

“I'm not sure what your question actually is..."is my response OK?" Something else?”

 

Being fairly new to the whole SAML scene (3 weeks at best) I’m still not entirely sure what I’m doing with it and am kind of throwing together code based on what I’m reading.  So, yea does my response look OK?

 

Also, it would seem I might have some kind of misunderstanding about Moodle’s role as the SP. 

 

“You do need an SP.  They include the glue to talk to an SP which I think is mostly some php. It works really well, auto-provisioning and everything.  They did a good job in my opinion.”

 

My understanding was that the Shib authn code provided allowed Moodle to act as the SP.  But this seems to indicate that I’ll need a SP of my own to get Moodle working?  If there’s no SP for Moodle then that could be my whole problem, hah! J  We have a MoodleRooms account, because our clients that use Moodle all host on MoodleRooms.  That said, MoodleRooms may have a Shib SP running on their servers, but as for my test environment, I certainly don’t.  That also means, that I could very well just not worry about SAML 1.1 right now and start off with 2.0 and we’ll support 1.1 later when we find the need to.

 

Do I sound like I’m on the right track?
