Hi! For those that are interested in making there web applications work in a SAML2 federated environment I have two things to offer:
1) PySAML2 - a not complete but working implementation of SAML2 in Python. Started with implementing the SP part and are now slowly doing the IdP part too. https://code.launchpad.net/~roland-hedberg/pysaml2/main For those using Django you should take notice of what Lorenzo Gil Sanchez is doing using PySAML2. https://code.launchpad.net/~lgs/pysaml2/main 2) IdPproxy - a gateway between social media and the SAML2 world. To the SPs in a SAML2 federation it looks like a normal IdP, but it allows the user to authenticate using Twitter, Facebook, Google, OpenID and Windows Live ID. Work in progress, alpha quality. https://code.launchpad.net/~roland-hedberg/+junk/IdPproxy -- Roland -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
