Re: [jetty-users] Jetty SSO SAML

So is the normal setup with Apache using an add-on for SAML SSO, any recommendations on which are best?

And on the Jetty side would it be looking for a special HTTP header that the Apache side adds with the auth info. Or a cookie. Presumably encrypted?

Thanks for the pointers to get me started down the right path.

The best option is Apache in front because that allows the use of more compliant and properly designed SAML SPs. The second best is probably pac4j as a solution, but there are no "standard" ways to do SAML in Java because there are no standard ways to do server-side web authentication in Java other than the worst one of all, which was JAAS (a desktop standard mis-applied to servers).
