Hi,

I was working on IDP initiated : post binding for SSO implementation using opensaml 2.3.0.
I could successfully realize it's implementation with basic reponse xml creation and parsing. Now I wanted to
have a similar implementation with IDP initiated : artificat binding, and started going through the doc at
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/22553/sstc-saml-tech-overview-2%200-draft-13.pdf
In this doc I could not find anything much discussed on IDP initiated : artificat binding, older versions of this doc
had some discussion on IDP initiated : artificat binding but the latest one lacks it. Does it mean opensaml 2.3.0
has no support for IDP initiated : artificat binding now.
Or is there a updated doc discussing the same, can anyone
please help me to fine one

Regards,
Shrenik

I'm not sure what you mean by IdP-initiated artifact. OpenSAML supports
the creation of artifacts and storing those for later looking up the
message based on the artifact. Such support has nothing to do with
which role the sender is currently operating in.

as discussed in the pdf file:
there are two ways of authenticating the user:
1. service provider initiated authentication (SP initiated)
2. ID provider initiated authentication (IdP initiated)
 
In case of SP initiated authentication, we can go with post binding or artifact binding(section 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 in the above pdf has the explanation). But if we choose our implementation to be IdP initiated authentication, the above mentioned pdf has explanation only for post binding(section 4.1.4).
So can we choose artifact binding for IdP initiated authentication, if yes it would be helpful if you could point me out the doc for the same.

OpenSAML is not an IdP, or an SP, so your question is meaningless in
this context. It has nothing to do with OpenSAML.
