RE: [saml-dev] Which version to use?

["Jean-Noel Colin" <jean-noel.colin@oxys.be>]

Well, thank you for all your comments. 

However, due to the participation of certain partners to the project,
Liberty is not really an option, and we would rather rely on SAML only, even
if this means 'reinventing' the wheel in some cases. 

So I guess we should use SAML 2.0, in our particular case, paying attention
to any modification that could be brought to the specs until they get
officially released.

There will be an OpenSAML 2.0 by sometime next year. Possibly something will
be available sooner, there are a handful of discussions ongoing.

SourceID is a possibility, and if they'd fully open source it (it's not free
for commercial use) I could see basing some of our Shib stuff on it. I doubt
anybody but me is planning a C++ version, which I need, so there will be
something produced explicitly by us regardless.
