SP - IdP Redirects Question

[Chad La Joie]

Please don't cross-post to different lists.  Questions like this
belong solely on the user's list.

To answer your first two questions, you should start by reading the
SAML profile document.  It describes the ways in which information
flows from one SAML entity to another.

Once the SAML process is complete, the service provider will, by
default, redirect the user back to the URL they were originally trying
to access.  The information received from the IdP is then available to
the application as CGI variables.
