Title: Credentials Collector proposal for SAML 2.0...
Carlisle,
I think the main
use-case of interest to us is CC as translator (case 2.2). I am curious though
why you used the term "translator" instead of "proxy" or "intermediate". I had
thought of this as a case where some entity other than the AA collects
credentials and then interacts with the AA to obtain a SAML assertion or other
proof of authentication (e.g., such as a proprietary token). BTW, what is your
view of the AA returning a proprietary token? I guess as long as it was
"wrapped" in SAML we are OK.
Examples of such
internediates include web farms or a web site that communicates with my "home
site" (e.g., place of employment) for authentication
purposes.
I agree with your
recommendation that we focus on Type 1 messages in case 2.2. So our main focus
would be defining an expressive request-response protocol between CC and
AA.
