Greetings,<br>
I'm new to the IdP side of shibboleth, having recently joined my
campus' central IT group. I'm familiar with shibboleth from the user
perspective, and the SP side, i.e. this diagram:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://identity.it.ufl.edu/technical/shibboleth-docs/data-flow/">http://identity.it.ufl.edu/technical/shibboleth-docs/data-flow/</a><br>
<br>
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>
<br>
I've been reading through wiki.shibboleth.net, but I haven't found
what I need to build something that <i>isn't</i> the canonical data
source. Any references or pointers are appreciated.<br>
Thanks, <br>
Allan West<br>
