To: users at shibboleth.net

Pro:
Uses SAML2

not tied to AD for auth/attributes

More control over integration 

Runs on open platforms

Opensource
Cons
Less support from MS as compared to adfs

Trickier to setup and manage the fed trusts

Possible issues with non http based apps (lync and the like) ECP?
Either will do the job. Depends on you preference on platform and support. Note that other vendors also have idp's that will play with O365 (Tivoli TFIM, NetIQ Access Manager, PingOne and Oracle Identity Federation)

Hello All,

 

I am looking at the pro & cons of Shibboleth
Authentication for Office 365.

It would be great if all of you can share your views.

 

We are planning to take a call with respect to which
authentication model Is better for Office 365 in future:

 

a)     
Shibboleth


b)     
ADFS


c)      
Continue with SSO toolkit till
December 2014


 

Therefore pro & cons on Shibboleht Authentication
for Office 365 will help to perform comparison with other authentication
mechanism.

 

Regards,
