Help needed: how to create federation with group of IDP's

[Satheesh Kumar]

*Thanks for the suggestions Peter.My requirements are simple, Currently I
am doing test installation of IDP V3.3.1 and I just wanted to add/configure
my test IDP in a federation. *

*Note that since you only mentioned IDPs, twice, and not SPs, that SAMLIDPs
do not talk among themselfs, they talk to entities acting *

Yeah ofcourse, I know about the roles played by IDP and SP. I missed to
mention about these:
We already have our own federation with group of IDP's and we have our own
SP.
 The job is done and by test IDP is available in our federation.

Thanks,
Satheesh
