Federated Login and Google Apps

[Christopher Bland]

Hello All,

I am trying to figure something out and would appreciate so feedback.  
If you have a federation, your metadata would have an EntitiesDescriptor 
descriptor tag and include metadata for all of your federated SPs and 
IDPs.  Based on what I've read logins would be handled by a DS, a page 
with idp selection, or directing users to a specific IDP.  In the case 
of Google Apps where you only have Sign-in page URL, Sign-out page URL, 
and Change password URL.  Do you just enter the URL of the DS for the 
Sign-in page URL, and if so, does that mean Google Apps will accept 
session info from any IDP in the federation.  Also is it possible to 
customize the DS to redirect based on the SP accessing it?

I know these seem like simple questions but I am trying to make sure I 
have the concepts straight.

-Chris
