[saml-dev] Proposal for Demo App Display of SAML Info

Title: Proposal for Demo App Display of SAML Info

My proposal is rather simple.

Every application would reserve a small box in the upper right (left?) corner of the web page and display in the box:

1. the authentication authority (aka, portal or SSO source)
2. the user name
3. the MemberLevel attribute value

These data items are available from the SSO Assertion. The purpose of displaying this information is to make it clearer to a human observer what is going on.

This would not prevent vendors from displaying some kind of logging information showing the data sent or received by servers.
