One of the morecomplex examples that ship with WLS is a WS-Trust based authentication of a web
service using SAML assertions. This example is quite easy to setup and run and
the example’s documentation gives a basic understanding of what is going on.
But we want to look deeper and shed light on the complexity that is hidden
behind SSL, WS-Trust and SAML authentication. In a first step we separate the
scenario from the example server and integrate it into eclipse, to create an
isolated laboratory environment for further investigation.
