RE: [saml-dev] All profiles (in the Profile Specification) depend on the involvement of a browser - True or False?
Thanks for the quick 
response Scott.  Let me make sure that I understand your 
answer.

You are saying, "Not 
all profiles listed in the Profile Specification depend on the involvement of a 
browser".  Is that correct?

 

Would it be fair to say that "most" of the 
profiles listed in the Profile Specification depend on the involvement of a 
browser?

 

Thanks.  
/Roger

Yeah, since I said "and your use case isn't simple SAML 
queries".

I overlooked it, but it's 
analagous to a query, and it's a very little used
profile.
