I don't see any SAML payloads between My web app and IDP proxy
According to the page, the integration is very similar to a normal agent approach. This probably means that you app talks to OpenAM using SOAP and OpenAM talks to the IDP using SAML.
But when I use the SAML tracer (The plugin for Firefox to track SAML
requests/Responses) I don't see any SAML payloads between My web app
and IDP proxy. Is it that Spring is using SOAP request to talk to IDP
proxy by picking urls from AMConfig.properties ?
If things are working correctly you should see a SAML authentication request when you are forwarded to the IDP.
What you should do is probably start plowing through the OpenAM debug logs.
Especially the Federation log.
I thought of using Fedlet but reading the saml response from Fedlet
and integrating that with Spring Security is not feasible. If Spring
security3 doesn't use SAML2 is it a good idea to use spring framework
to talk to openam ? Any inputs ?
There is an spring extension that allows you to use SAML directly.

You could have a look at that.
