Service Provider (SP) :: Federated Identity Suite

Complete Service Provider Functionality

Symlabs Service Provider Base (SP Base) is the component of Symlabs Fed- erated Identity Suite that delivers a full, stand-alone, multi-protocol Service Provider (SP) to obtain user authentication information from Identity Providers (IdPs) and create a Single Sign-On (SSO) environment. It can also handle Federation and Session information and management including Defederation and Single Logout (SLO).
 
Symlabs Service Provider Base (SP Base) understands attribute-based identity information sent by an IdP and can be integrated as part of a portal that allows users to log in. It has full client interfaces for most Liberty Web Services Framework services, i.e. Discovery Service, Personal Profile, People Service, etc. Any desired web service can be implemented by extending Symlabs Service Provider SP Base, either by using the built-in Symlabs DirectoryScript scripting language or by calling an external C Library.
