Re: Does .NET 2.0 have classes to create a SAML Assertion

Windows Server 2003 R2 includes a component called Active Directory
Federation Services which implements the WS-Federation passive requester
profile (WS-Fed PRP, or "fed passive"). Fed passive uses SAML 1.1
assertions inside of the protocol, although it does not implement the SAML
1.1 protocol for requesting them. It is built in .NET 2.0.

That is the only thing provided directly by MS to do SAML stuff. There are
implementations done by others that you can likely find via some additional
research.

I hope that helps.

I'm still using .NET 2.0, and I need to create a SAML Assertion for SSO
between my site and a vendor site. Does .NET 2.0 have any built-in
classes
to create the message, or do I have to buy a tool to do this?

Any help / code samples are appreciated.
Thank you!

btw - still in the investigation stage - not sure which version of SAML I
need yet.
