Hi Ulf,
Thanks
alot for the prompt reply. WSS4J uses openSaml for creating SAML tokens. Actually, i wanted something like an openLdap thingie, wherein i can use a utility to create SAML requests and it can give me back the SAML assertions. (This would mean that the implementation will be a service provider for authentication and authorization.) WSS4j is more of an API, correct me if i am wrong.
I will tell you in detail as to what i need:
I am writing an intermediary that will take request from a third-party (they will be SAML authentication/attribute/authorization assertions). Based on the type of assertions, i may choose to:
1) Post a request to a SAML authorization server(if i received an authentication assertion)
2) Just propogate the authentication info in some other format to my client.
3) Fetch some attributes from a configured server and send it to the client.
So, i need an environment where based on the SAML request i make, i can get SAML assertions.
T&R,
Nitesh
