Shibboleth Identity Provider 3.2.1 custom authentication configuration

[Raymond Gardner]

>> [Raymond Gardner] You seem to be losing me.  This is not a SP

>> These are authentication requirements.  The IdP is responsible for authentication.

>I thought you phrased this originally as needing to do something for a specific SP, so I took that to mean it wasn't a routine thing.
[Raymond Gardner] Maybe that was my bad phrasing.   This is an authentication requirement we are trying to achieve with our IdP.
I will keep working on it.

>> If the application doesn't support this, then the application doesn't

>It *does* matter what that step is, if the code is written to assume a regular expression, which it was. If you want a feature to extend that with an interface that's more pluggable, you can certainly file a request for that.
[Raymond Gardner] Certainly!  If the code doesn't support it, then it doesn't support it.  I think this would be a useful feature enhancement.  I'll file a request to extend an interface for this Transform bean when I figure out how to file a request.
I'll keep looking at this myself.

Thanks for the input,
Raymond
