I unfortunately don't know much yet about Rampart, but apparently it
already incorporates openSAML (see second question/response here:
http://wso2.org/library/695 .)  Since you are interested in security I
would guess you should be using Rampart immediately anyway, because you
would want to encrypt the username/password, etc., correct?
