[wsf-dev] A big also....

[Asa Hardcastle]

Also, while we are considering naming again,  two things should be  
noted:

* Conor Cahill's ID-WSF WSP (java) and WSC (C) Library are being  
contributed to the OpenLiberty WSF project!  This brings advanced  
client support and a java Discovery service. Conor should clarify this  
for us.

* Sampo Kellomäki's ZXID http://zxid.org/ is now part of OpenLiberty!   
ZXID brings SAML2 Federated SSO, SAML2 SP Role (perl,java,php,&c), WS- 
Fed 1, Liberty ID-FF 1.2, ID-WSF 2 and ID-WSF 1.   Sampo should  
elaborate on this, but he has checked in his code to the OpenLiberty  
code repository.  Sampo has also documented his work quite well.

Soon we will be adding more info to the site, but I would like to wait  
until we resolve the naming.

These are hugely important and noteworthy contributions.  I have been  
testing with Conor's server since the beginning.  Sampo has been  
providing me with support and access to a Symlabs Federated Identity  
Suite for the past several months, and I have just recently modeled a  
simple Java SP using zxid that will pass a disco epr to bootstrap ID- 
WSF.   ZXID allows you to create a SAML2 SP in 10 lines of code!!   My  
SP is 238 lines of code, but to be fair, I like white space, comments,  
and I am also dealing with extracting a disco epr.  Still, the code is  
extremely straightforward.

We are getting close to having quite a nice set of options for anyone  
who is interested in being in the liberty identity world.
