Use cases

In this section a set of use cases for the proxy is presented.

SAML2<->SAML2

There are SAML2 service providers for example Box which is not able to handle multiple identity providers. For more information about how to set up, configure and run such a proxy instance please visit Single Service Provider<->Multiple Identity providers

If an identity provider can not communicate with service providers in for example a federation the can convert request and make the communication possible.

SAML2<->Social logins

This setup makes it possible to connect a SAML2 service provider to multiple social media identity providers such as Google and Facebook. The proxy makes it possible to mirror a identity provider by generating SAML2 metadata corresponding that provider and create dynamic endpoint which are connected to a single identity provider.

For more information about how to set up, configure and run such a proxy instance please read SAML2<->Social logins

SAML2<->OIDC

The proxy is able to act as a proxy between a SAML2 service provider and a OpenID connect provider SAML2<->OIDC
