  1. Gluu is currently evaluating the idea of incorporating the Asimba SAML platform on the Gluu Server (in addition to Shibboleth). SAML can be confusing, even to the experts. We at Gluu worked on the diagram below as a simple overview of why a SAML proxy might be useful, and where it would fit in the Gluu open source stack. A few things to note: The main advantage of the proxy is a very simple configuration for the SP. If the website is a SaaS or off-the-shelf software, you may only get one way to trust the IDP. Discovery and re-direction to your respective home domain IDP are handled by the proxy. Internal websites that don’t care about other federated IDPs can just point to your SAML IDP directly.

  2. Applications using the Asimba proxy can request a specific authentication type via SAML ACR request. Authentication business logic is handled in OX–no need to support 2FA in both SAML and OAuth2. In many cases, the OX OP also grabs a legacy SSO ticket (i.e. CAS, Siteminder, etc.) In a federation with many IDPs, if the participants trust the federation operator, it is efficient for the federation operator to manage trust with the websites. For example, instead of updating 1,000 IDPs to update their configuration, just update the proxy. Article Resource:- http://thegluuserver.wordpress.com/2013/12/30/use-case-for-asimba-as-saml-proxy

  3. Sprint could support standard API’s for authentication and authorization, and enable an ecosystem of partners to authenticate Sprint customers via Internet standard API. How is this better than Sprint’s current solution? Supporting standards is important because we live in a world where there are multiple consumer IDPs, and if a website needs a special API to use your IDP, it will probably just not support you. What is the cost of your solution? Gluu sells support on its product. However, I think there might be some sponsored co-development opportunities. Who are some of your current customers? • Toshiba uses Gluu to deliver authentication for its Cloud TV Service in Japan and Europe (and soon in the US). We have more than 20 university customers, in addition to a number of large enterprise customers.

  4. We also are designing an authentication/authorization platform for the State of TX K-12 students, and a citizen authentication platform for the Philippines (90M users). In the telecom industry, we worked with British Telecom on a multi-year VOIP project, and have advised Rackspace on the design of their authentication system. Do you have any additional information or comments? Please check the latest OpenID Connect test results. Look in the last column for Gluu, and you can see that our server is currently the most comprehensive implementation of an OpenID Connect Provider.
