SAML 2.0 vs Liberty 1.1/1.2 and SAML 1.1 backwards compatibility

["Mishra, Prateek" <pmishra@netegrity.com>]

One issue that we will inevitably confront is that of backward compatibility between

SAML 2.0 vs Liberty ID-FF and SAML 1.X. While clearly we will aim for the minimal

possible set of changes, I also think it is inevitable that there will be some changes

or extensions.

 

I guess I would like to see a SAML 2.0 work item captured along the lines of "Upgrading from ID-FF 1.X,

SAML 1.X to SAML 2.0". It would ultimately include some high-level overview

on protocols that have changed/not changed, resulting impact on existing implementations

as well as a laundry list of specific changes. 

 

I would be happy to co-own this work item along with a person who is closer to

the details of the Liberty protocols.  Any volunteers?
