This page is being used to collect potential use cases related to a centrally manged Social-to-SAML Gateway. They will be discussed on the May 21, 2012 socialidentity working group conference call.
- Jane Doe invites John Smith (a member of the local community) to participate in her course for two weeks as an adjunct instructor. She goes to the campus instance of MACE Grouper and sends to John's personal Google account an invitation to become a member of the INSTRUCTORS group for her course. John receives the email, and licks on the enclosed url. This takes John back to the campus instance of MACE Grouper, and he is asked to identify his Identity Provider; he selects Google. This takes him to the centrally managed Social-to-SAML Gateway, and on to Google. He authenticates at Google, approves releasing attributes, is returned transparently to the Social-to-SAML Gateway, which forwards him back to the campus instance of MACE Grouper, which now recognizes him as an authenticated user. John clicks ACCEPT, and is added as a member of the INSTRUCTORS group.
