SAML

[Mike Cunningham <mike.cunningham@xxxxxxx>]

Has anyone ever done any work using SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) on an iSeries either in RPG or Java? SAML is XML based and uses HTTP and SOAP so I would suspect it should be possible. We are looking into two different projects, both of which would involve using Shibboleth for passing identity information back to the requesting organization. One of these projects would involve passing back information contained in MS Active Directory but the second could end up needing to send back data from a DB2 database on the iSeries. Which would mean writing our own application to accept the request, look in the database and pass back the necessary attributes.
