The source code in Java

[杨如鹏]

I'm totally new in shibboleth, and I want to learn about it. But I can't find the source code written in Java. I can only find the one coded in C++. Can you tell me how can I get the Java code of shibboleth. I have hunted in http://www.shibboleth.net/downloads/ for long time,but I can't find the Java source code of shibboleth.

I would really appreciate of your answer.

You are best to start at the wiki for most things.

 

https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/Home

 

The source access is describe on this page:

 

https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/SourceAccess

 

Specifically the IdP and Discovery Service are written in Kava and they exist in several SVN repositories list on that page.

 

However I would suspect that reading the source is not the most profitable way to learn about it.    https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/UnderstandingShibboleth is a good place to start, and I’d recommend getting hold of the SAML specifications and profiles and understanding them.
