Monday, June 21, 2010 at 03:15PM I’ve had a few people ping me lately about setting up ADFS 2.0 to federate with a Shibboleth instance, now that everyone speaks SAML 2.0 and we all get to hold hands and sing Kum-ba-ya in a happy interoperable way.
There are a few “tricks” to make the conversation work well, though, particularly as regards formatting of claims from one org to the other. The ADFS PG has published a walk-through describing a PoC setup here.
Happy federating!
