We have a NW Java 7.02 (SP17) system that, as I understand it, has limited SAML capabilities since it doesn't support SAML 2.0.
Our basic goal is to provide our users authentication against an MS ADFS by going to the same portal URL they've always gone to. But now, we want them to be granted access using SAML from the ADFS. They would be challenged for their domain credentials before proceeding and being taken to their portal desktop.
One other hitch is that our Portal currently is using ABAP as the UME which can't be changed. Otherwise, we could switch to MS AD for the UME datasource.
So, is there a good method to initiate the authentication to an NW 7.02 Java app at the SP level?
What capabilities would NW SSO offer in the above scenario?
