Subject: RE: [saml-dev] Load balancing with SAML2
“Session management” (getting a user to the right
server behind a load balancer) is a well known problem for load balancing systems
and should be able to solve this without the need for any extra-special SAML
glue. Typically a load balanced web site keeps track of session
information either in the client (cookies) or on the server (and ties it
together with some information from the client). I don’t see
this as being any different from such session management. If your system does not support such session management
features, you could also use the relay state to carry information for the load
balancer to know which physical SP to send the AuthnResponse to (so the load
balancer would send any AuthnResponse with an “SP1” in the relaystate
to SP1. Though, as I said, this should be unnecessary. Conor From:
