Novell/NetIQ IDM and Shibboleth

[David Gersic]

Asking some friends, I'm told that this does work, or at least can be made to work, with IdP v3. I'm still acquiring the details as to what needs to be done, though.

NIU is a long time user of MicroFocus (was NetIQ, was Novell) eDirectory and Identity Manager. We're also using Shibboleth here. They go quite well together, IMHO. We aren't using OSP here, but a friend has written an article on how to get OSP to work with Shibboleth (https://www.netiq.com/communities/cool-solutions/configuring-idm-4-5s-osp-talk-shibboleth-idp/), so maybe that's an option for you.

I was talking to Brad about this off-list, and apparently there's a change between the OSP in 4.5.2 and 4.5.3 that breaks things:

    From 4.5 through 4.5.2 Shibboleth IDP worked by virtue of the SAML2 support, but in 4.5.3 it breaks
    from a bug.  Since NAM is their only supported IDP, and the bugI found is not a problem in NAM, but
    it is a problem with Shibboleth, they are not considering it a bug that needs to be fixed.
