I don't know what command-line clients you're referring to but the
above is an endpoint at the WUSTL identity provider, yes. You can
browse a human-readable version of its metadata here:

https://incommon.org/federation/info/org.html?orgName=Washington%20University%20in%20St.%20Louis

You should probably contact one of the people listed there and start a
conversation. If you were to SAML-enable your application, they might
trust your service provider deployment (or not, I have no idea).

Is your application a PHP application per chance? If so, simpleSAMLphp
might be your SAML implementation of choice. Shibboleth would work as
well (but may be overkill for your simple application). Best to talk
to the folks listed above and see what they suggest.

HTH,
