Hey Paul,

Since you brought up the Unicon meeting I figure I'll just respond
here in this thread.   Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression
regarding the official status of /cas/samlValidate.

The point I was making was that /cas/samlValidate was essentially
superseded by the 3.0 protocol spec rev (and the CAS 4.0 release) that
was catching up to broader community practice regarding releasing
attributes in /cas/serviceValidate.

/cas/samlValidate simply sends a SAML1 document back in response to a
ST validate request.  It never really achieved any general
interoperability with other SAML entities.  Therefore one can view
this particular feature as CAS specific implementation detail rather
than "SAML support".

This thread might be of some help with OCLC.

Best,
