OIOSAML Java SP for Shibboleth 2.0

In my search for a Java Service Provider I think I finally found one that works relatively well and provides both SAML 1 and SAML 2 support. The OIOSAML JAVA SP seems to provide a great service provider for any organization to use. The oiosaml java sp provides a great too for developers to integrate Shibboleth SSO security into there applications.

Some of my favorite features of the tool are:

  1. Easy to integrate into existing application
  2. Built in Servlet Filter to secure pages
  3. Open Source
  4. Web based configuration built into jar
  5. Tool uses its own java keystore
  6. Keystore can be created using built in config screens

I have currently used this java sp to secure a few different java applications and have been very happy. The tool has exceeded all of my expectations. There are a few tricks to getting the tool setup with a Shibboleth IdP. I will make sure to write a how to on this whenever I get a free moment.

Have you done any "How to" documentation yet?

I have the "How To" document about 50% complete, and then got distracted and never finished it. I will try and finish that this weekend. Are you having some issues with getting it integrated into you application?

I have just started. I was looking around and found the Danish implementation. I found their documentation a little bit distracted. I mean a step-by-step how-to doc would be very helpful.

I am looking forward to read your documentation. I can share my experiences later on.

Hi. We have to protect WebCT which uses Bea Weblogic 9.2. I'm not the Java guy, and never protected a application. What's about the howto guide? I'll take a look to oiosaml. Best regards.
