Subject: Question to SSTC -- RE: Questions Regarding SAML 2.0 Conformance
Folks, I received some questions below from Steve Finegan (copied here). He has the following questions which I didn't feel qualified to answer. Perhaps someone more familiar with the conformance work could help. Please CC Steve (reply all) when you reply, as he is not on the SSTC list. > My questions are as follows: > > 1.
