Service Provider

[j.sperling at fh-bingen.de]

Thank you very much for your help.

I want illustrate like Webbrowser.
But first a little bit for my understanding.
The abstract proceed in Federeted Identity is like these steps:

- User want use a Application, now he can go to the SP or to the IdP.
- When the User go to the SP the SP send a request to the IdP
- now the IdP verified the User (the user must login in the System).
- the IdP send a response to the SP in this Response is a XML File in  
SAML Standard, the Assertion.
- The user can use the Application

Okay thats very Abstract but hope you understand me. I need the  
response from the IdP the whole XML File (Assertion File).
When i have the file i can read it and give it out in the Browser.

We need the SP for decoding the File.
I don´t want modify the Code. The maximum what i want do is  
programming a modul for the SP.
And the minimum what i want do is configure SP to give me the File.

Its only for Debugging. Send the XML File(Assertion File) to the  
Server and look who is the mistake in my file.
