Re: [saml-dev] Saml idp in java servlet filter?

["morgan packard" <hellomorganpackard@gmail.com>]

Thanks Chad,

Is it typical for a SAML 2.0 idp to be a dedicated application? Or is it possible/common to add SAML 2.0 idp capabilities to an existing application? 

For example, I have a classified ads site, with its own user authentication system. I was planning on adding SAML idp capabilities to this application.  Does this make sense, or would it be more typical to remove the authentication capabilities from my classifieds site and run a third app whose sole purpose is authentication?

Thanks for helping me wrap my head around this stuff.

I don't think you'd be able to implement an IdP as a filter, at least
not a SAML 2 IdP.
