Why Have Your SAML
Product Kantara Initiative Interoperability Certified?

The SAML standard
continues to be one of the most widely adopted identity management standards in
the world. With industries from around the globe adopting SAML, the critical
identity information that flows over SAML represents millions of identities
each year. To ensure that identity information is securely
handled, Kantara Initiative full-matrix interoperability
certification is mission critical for these industries. There are typically
some 6-8 participating products from around the globe participating in each
round of testing with some 500 SAML transactions performed.

Kantara Initiative
selected Drummond Group, the trusted interoperability test
lab, as its testing partner.  Drummond Group has a proven track record of
certification of interoperability of software, having tested hundreds of
products from around the globe in a variety of standards.

What will be tested?

The Kantara
Initiative SAML 2.0 test criteria test plan covers the required functionality
through documented test steps. Version 3.3 of the test plan was finalized last month and will be used in this year’s test
event. It will be similar to last year’s version 3.2.2 but also includes
the new eGov 2.0 profile. You can find the test plan at: http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/certification/SAML+2.0+Full+Matrix+Test+Event 

eGov profiles vs. 1.5
and 2.0 will be tested in this upcoming test event.  The SAML 2.0
eGovernment Profile 2.0 reflects the features deemed necessary or desirable
from software implementations in support of a variety of deployment profiles
planned and in use for government identity management. One
aspect of this version of the profile that is particularly interesting
is the inclusion of Metadata and Trust Management support.
