Today we tested Shibboleth 2.0 CPP SP alpha-2 on a Debian linux test box. Our goal was: to make it work with Feide.
The outcome of the test was very promosing. Single Sign-On was working both with Browser/POST and with Browser/Artifact. We did have some troubles with Single Log-Out, but we believe that is due to some bug in Shib that will be fixed before release.
The fact that SAML 2.0 software work with SAML 2.0 software should not be a surprise, but unfortuneatly there are a lot of choices, bindings and formats in SAML 2.0 that may differ among installations. (We also remember the experience with Google’s SAML 2.0) Therefore we think this test is very good news.
Thank you, Internet2, for providing great software. We look forward to test the final release. Services that wants to integrate with Feide is welcome to choose to use Shibboleth 2.0 SP software as well as any other SAML 2.0 compliant SP.
Remark: This is only a short initial test that indicates that things works great. The Shibboleth software is not yet released, and when the software is ready we will perform more comprehensive tests.
[ Document describing the setup, and result of the test ]
For readers that have no releation ship to Feide, but have interest of SAML 2.0 or Sun Access Manager, this document describe a test of interoperability between Shibboleth 2.0 SP and Sun Access Manager 7.0 as IdP.
