Thanks for the timely response.

Yes, Tomcat 6 is a must as it is the app server for Shibboleth, which is told 
to run most of its features on Tomcat 7, too, but not with much "official" 
support. The Fediz relying party I am attempting is actually a Shibboleh login 
handler.

I'll try some alternative, so freeze Fediz here. May be just redirecting to an 
ADFS claims based app that once authenticated sends back some claims to the 
login handler as a dirty proof of concept, before getting serious with Fediz.

Thanks.

Asunto: RE: Tomcat plugin with Tomcat 6.0?

Hi there

Based on community discussions, Fediz IDP works with ASP.NET RP and the other 
way around.

Is Tomcat 6 a must? Tomcat 7 works fine. There are some changes required to get 
it working for Tomcat 6 but we never invested in building a plugin because it's 
quite old.

Thanks

Subject: Tomcat plugin with Tomcat 6.0?

Hello, first post here, thanks in advance for any feedback.

I am evaluating Apache CXF Fediz as a way to create a Tomcat 6 relying party 
for ADFS 2.0.

I did the configuration steps, built the simple web app (no spring) example and 
first tried to access the medata URL. Got a no such class exception when trying 
to get the servlet context. Then, I tried building the tomcat plugin and 
noticed it has a dependency on the Tomcat 7 API.

So, the obvious questions is whether the plugin can be run on Tomcat 6. Can any 
previous experience be leveraged before I start tweaking a plugin version for 
Tomcat 6 API?

Also, a rough sample of fediz_config.xml for ADFS would be highly appreciated. 
I have experience in configuring the ADFS and Shibboleth world, but a bit stuck 
in Fediz at the moment :)

Regards,

/Domenec

PS: I know it may sound exotic, but the goal is to write a login handler for 
Shibboleth that uses an existing SSO session in ADFS. ADFS can proxy claims 
from Shibboleth to its MS relying parties, but not the opposite. Because of 
organizational decisions, ADFS must remain the login point (yes I know that 
letting users log in Shibboleth there would be no issues, I tested that). 
Inspiration comes from Shib wiki where login handlers using CAS are provided.
