Hello All,<br>
<br>
I have what is probably a beginner question about SP
SessionInitators. Previously I have only dealt with SPs using a
single IDP. I have always provided Metadata for development and
production IDPs but have not simultaneously used sessions from
both. It seems that all I have to do is within a
<SessionInitiator type="Chaining"> tag have a series of
individual SessionInitiator tags specifying each IDP available for
authentication. <br>
<br>
What's unclear to me is the process of associating a user with an
IDP. I get that IDPs are processed in series but does the
SessionInitiator only check for existing session and sends users to
the default or DS session initiator if it doesn't find previous
session? <br>
