Gateway look like to browser users ?
There is a set of demo sites available here. The entry for each of the supported social providers includes a clickable link to demonstrate the user experience.

Instructions for using the gateway are available in the wiki (link?). Basicially, the application owner must decide which social providers s/he is willing to accept as authentication sources. In addition, the site hosting the application (or the application itself) will likely need a Discovery Service so that browser users can identify their Home Organization (more detail available here).
There are many different ways that a site could configure an SP to use the Social-to-SAML Gateway. To keep things straightforward and simple, here is a description of one way to do this:
- Deploy and configure a Shibboleth SP component. Documentation available here.
- Deploy and configure the Discovery Service component provided by the Shibboleth project. Documentation available here.
- Make sure the SP is a member of the InCommon Federation, adding it if necessary.
- Choose which Social Identity providers you want to use. A list is available here.
- Configure the SP to load metadata for the chosen Social Identity Providers.
- Review the attributes provided by the chosen Identity Providers. Ensure that your applications can support long identifier values.
