市场上顶级的SAML 2.0身份提供商

Question

I am working on a product (service provider) which uses SAML 2.0 for authentication purpose. Having said that I wanted to know what you all think are the top and most trusted identity providers that are in the market, that supports SAML 2.0 and if there is any data sheet available on the facts related to the top identity providers used today.

I have used Oracle's Identity Federation and IBM Tivoli. I have also got good reviews about siteminder.

thanks

Answer 1

I'm not aware of any statistics on usage so I can only give you a subjective view of what I've run into. In mid-large corporations ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services) seems to be a good fit since it supports SAML 2.0 (or at least it supports it reasonably well) and many corporations already use AD, so the integration pain is pretty low.

As a side note, as a Service Provider, it shouldn't really matter to you which IDP you're talking to. If an IDP properly implements SAML (and that's admittedly a big if), it should just work. Beyond having some stock suggestions for clients when they ask about IDPs, you probably don't want to know the details. Unless you have a dedicated provisioning department with a fair bit of time on their hands, you really don't want to deal with helping clients set up their IDP.

Answer 2

Refer: SAML-based products and services .

There's a whole raft of products that do this - among the ones I've use are OpenAM, shibboleth, Ping and simpleSAMLPHP.

They all work - it depends on what language you're application is written in and how much you are prepared to pay.

Have a look at Gartner's Magic Quadrant reports.
