Thank you Scott for the reply.

My thought process was that by using Actions, I wouldn't have to worry
about populating the context and parsing data from-to SAML etc.
Do you suggest ditching two AbstractAction class implementations altogether
and just use two servlets (original request handler and callback handler)
with `External` login flow?

Since, the workflow needs to be paused while redirects/internal
authentication process and no custom AuthenticationFlow is involved, is
there anything to do to preserve the context or it can be retrieved by
default using conversation key?
