<p class="MsoNormal">I just got off a conference call with a vendor discussing SAML 2 SSO.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I thought I’d ask the list for their insight an feedback.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First they want to do IDP initiated login. We have never done that before. Is it as easy as I am lead to believe from this wiki page:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/IdPUnsolicitedSSO">https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/IdPUnsolicitedSSO</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All need is a link like this: <a href="https://myidp.edu/idp/profile/SAML2/Unsolicited/SSO?providerId=someid&shire=providerURL">
https://myidp.edu/idp/profile/SAML2/Unsolicited/SSO?providerId=someid&shire=providerURL</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The vendor does not supply meta-data. I thought that was a requirement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And last does my 2.3.5 IDP meet these requirements out of the box or do I have work to do (beyond just configuration)?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2.0 Partner shall generate a SAML Response message, as specified by the SAML 2.0 standard, upon successful authentication of a user.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2.1 Partner shall digitally sign the SAML Response sent to Corestream using the private key of their signing certificate.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2.2 Partner shall provide Corestream with the public key of the certificate used to sign the SAML Response token.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2.3 Partner shall Base-64 encode the SAML Response<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2.4 Partner shall transmit the Base-64 encoded SAML Response via a HTTP POST to the URL specified by Corestream.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3.0 Partner shall provide both a UAT and Production system for integration testing.<o:p></o:p></p>
