Oblix would be interesting in
participating in a SAML demo at RSA 2005. I think if possible we should include
at least some SAML 2.0 functionality to show the progress we’ve made
since RSA 2004. For us as I imagine for others, Feb 2005 will be tight for SAML
2.0, but hopefully we will have some SAML 2.0 in at least a beta version.
We could demonstrate the new AuthnRequest
protocol for the destination/SP-first scenario in place of the non-standard way
we did it in RSA 2004. We could also show the use of the LogoutRequest. The federated
ID management stuff would be nice, but probably a stretch for some of us. We
would all benefit from the use of metadata for configuration, although that
would be not immediately visible to the demo public.

Subject: [security-services] Any
interest in possible SAML interop at RSA 2005?
Hi folks,
This may seem like quite a ways off, but in mid-Feb, RSA
will hold their RSA 2005 conference. I got mail from Dee Shur at OASIS
recently stating that she’d been asked whether we might hold another such
event at the next conference. Dee had also contacted our conference
planners about it as well. So I got a call from our conference folks asking
whether we would be doing a similar event in Feb since they really need to plan
the space, etc. much more in advance than we did the last time.
The 2004 event was a huge success with about a dozen vendors
participating with SAML 1.1 solutions and the booth was very well
attended. It was also sponsored by the GSA eGov program.
So… I’d like to hear back from anyone that
thinks this would be a good idea and whether they’d be interested.
Feel free to respond on the list or privately if you’d prefer.
Obviously, the first question that comes up is whether we
would demo SAML 1.1 again or whether there will be enough SAML 2.0
implementations to demo it instead? Or perhaps we’d want to figure
out how to work both in somehow. I‘d be interested in your input on
these questions.
If you could, our conference planners need an indication of
our interest fairly soon. I’d appreciate hearing back from you in
the next week.
Thanks everyone.
