Subject: Re: [saml-dev] Saml idp in java servlet filter?
I guess it depends. I personally wouldn't ever run it as part of another app. An IdP has to do quite a bit and mixing that in with application code that has nothing to do with the IdP (or the IdP with it) seems like a maintenance nightmare. It's really a conflation of two very different things. If though you didn't want a full IdP and in stead just wanted to issue SAML authn statements, that is if you scoped the amount of work down to a very small level, it might not be as nightmare'ish (though still not something I'd do). morgan packard wrote: > Thanks Chad, > > Is it typical for a SAML 2.0 idp to be a dedicated application?
