[wsf-dev] ID-WSF newbie questions

[Cahill, Conor P]

*	Does ID-WSF1.1 support SAML2 tokens? A pretty specific question,
but we might look to integrate with an existing SAML2 provider.

ID-WSF supports any token in both 1.x and 2.x.  However, SAML2 tokens
weren't explicitly profiled until ID-WSF 2.0 (which is what I would
recommend you start with anyway as 2.0 has many important improvements).

*	Can anyone direct me to use cases implemented using ID-WSF.

The Case studies section of the Liberty web site has a number of
deployment descriptions for ID-WSF.

*	Can anyone provide any information about server-side
implementations of ID-WSF (i.e. Discovery Service, IdP, etc. under
either 1.1 or 2.0) and what their experience has been? 

I have an open source implementation of ID-WSF 2.0 (both a C++ client
side library and a Java server side implementation of AS, DS an basic
ID-WSF functionality).   It is in the process of being contributed into
OpenLiberty, but in the meantime, you can grab a copy of the latest code
from http://www.cahillfamily.com in the OpenSource subdirectory.   

*	Has anybody used the Conor Cahill server toolkit? It mentions
that the implementation is limited, but I wonder if this is complete
enough for prototyping purposes. I also see that the OpenLibertyJ client
library appears to have been tested against this server.

I have J.   I have actually interopped it with a number of other
implementations.  The key restriction on the server side of the toolkit
is the lack of support for XML Signature verification on incoming
messages.  So it's Ok for prototyping and testing (and I have a number
of example services built ontop of the toolkit, some official liberty
services and some home-grown (like a media service)); however, I would
not use this toolkit for production code without getting support for XML
Signatures.
