- How to use PySAML2
- ===================
- :Release: |release|
- :Date: |today|
- Before you can use Pysaml2, you'll need to get it installed.
- If you have not done it yet, read the :ref:`install`
- Well, now you have it installed and you want to do something.
- And I'm sorry to tell you this; but there isn't really a lot you can do with
- this code on it's own.
- Sure you can send a AuthenticationRequest to an IdentityProvider or a
- AttributeQuery to an AttributeAuthority but in order to get what they
- return you have to sit behind a Web server. Well that is not really true since
- the AttributeQuery would be over SOAP and you would get the result over the
- connection you have to the AttributeAuthority.
- But anyway, you may get my point. This is middleware stuff !
- PySAML2 is built to fit into a
- `WSGI <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/>`_ application
- But it can be used in a non-WSGI environment too.
- So you will find descriptions of both cases here.
- The configuration is the same disregarding whether you are using PySAML2 in a
- WSGI or non-WSGI environment.
