Hi James,

Our integration with Simitive was quite painful (our instance was the most
recent Simitive SP to be added to the UK Federation). They asked for our
entityId and an attribute to release as a unique ID (they actually wanted a
Subject NameID). We gave them that and pointed them at the UK Federation
metadata for anything else they needed.

Once they had registered with the federation the configuration on our side was
quite straightforward and didn't need much further modification (other than
having to release an additional attribute that they don't actually use).
Things didn't go quite so smoothly on their side though, and in the end they
had to call in consultants to get the SP working. :-S

Regards,
