Guidance on X.509 login handler or ECP profile for .NET app

Tue Jan 6 13:57:56 EST 2015

Hi All,

I have a .NET application that makes requests to a web application running Apache CXF and Direct Web Remoting (DWR).  The .NET application fails to authenticate because the .NET application is not configured to handle the IdP's username/password login handler.

I see I have the following options (but would like guidance on the preferred way to handle this use case):

1.       Configure the IdP to use *both* username/password as well as certificates:

2.       Configure an ECP profile for my .NET application:
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/ECP

Lastly, no changes are needed on SP to support the X.509 login handler; is this correct?

Thanks for any guidance.
