SAML and thick client applicatons using GSS-API

[Srinivas Cheruku]

Hello Scott,

Thank you Scott.

As you know, companies slowly starting moving away from Kerberos Infrastructure (e.g. MS AD) and relying on MS Azure AD or any other IdP for their authentication needs. The new companies doesn’t have any Kerberos infrastructure like MS AD at all. And, there are still thick client applications using GSS-API/Kerberos for the authentication and so was thinking on supporting for GSS-API/SAML for these client applications and hence was asking about any known implementation.

Do you think that there is no one showing interest in getting involved in advancing the draft and also implementing the same?

Thanks and Regards,
Srini

There was an implementation of the draft, but I would imagine it's long dead at this point. The Shibboleth IdP contains some vestigial support for the server end of it. The drafts were never, and likely never will be, advanced, not much else I can say about it.
