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, they can convert requests 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 an identity provider by generating SAML2 metadata corresponding to that provider and create dynamic endpoints 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
