New top contender for the stupidest SP SSO mechanism

[Paul B. Henson]

So I got a request from our HR department to set up SSO for a company named SkillSurvey which allegedly supported SAML.

Upon receiving their documentation, the instructions are basically to go set up an account with Ping identity and configure a ping one identity bridge. It says that if you already use ping federate as your idp, it's super easy, just click here. The details for if you don't use ping federate are evidently left as an exercise for the reader 8-/.

I think I'm going to pass on taking responsibility to maintain a third-party piece of infrastructure between whatever their service is doing and my idp...

Just when you think nobody could be worse than the last idiot commercial SP you dealt with <sigh>.
