<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="">I've been tasked to make an idp for rapid metadata deployment testing. I'm looking for documentation of how to set up a local datastore, instead of connecting to the canonical campus data sources. I'm also looking
for a more detailed description of the data flow from the perspective of the IdP, so I can wrap my head around how the IdP will interact with local data stores.<br class="">

<div>This little graphic may help you think it through by looking at the world start-to-app from the point of view of an attribute. It’s by no means the only way you can build the system, but it’s the most common type of architecture.</div>

<div>You’ll probably just want to set up a little LDAP directory or something similar. You could even do something simpler with flat files, Tomcat user authentication, a script, … it’s open source at its finest.</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="">I've been reading through <a href="http://wiki.shibboleth.net" class="">
wiki.shibboleth.net</a>, but I haven't found what I need to build something that <i class="">
isn't</i> the canonical data source. Any references or pointers are appreciated.<br class="">

<div class="">Shibboleth was expressly designed to rely on other data sources as canonical references, so it’s not too surprising that you didn’t find something useful for you. </div>
