ColdFusion: SAML Service Provider ADFS

Question

Our company is programming custom webshops for our customers. Now a customer has contacted us to implement the authentication under use of SAML. The customer is running an ADFS server already. My job is it to evaluate how difficult the work is for our company and what steps we need to take.

I searched the web now for quite a long time now and I didn't find really useful stuff. I understand the basic dataflow, but a more ColdFusion specific example for a service provider would be great.

Examples or explanations how we have to do this would be great!

Thanks very much!

Answer 1

Here are a few links that should get you started. In this case are you the Service Provider or Identity Provider?

There's another one here on SO that I can't seem to find that is similar to the first link. I also did a presentation at cf.Objective 2013 that was online in their Dropbox but seems to be gone. Guess I'll have to put that up somewhere for everyone.
