Spring Security - Authorization without Authentication using Spring

[chandini]

I am new to Spring Security. I want to use only the authorization module of spring security.

For authentication I am calling an IDP server that post SAML response back. This is being done for single sign on.
Once this happens i need to call the authentication module. Any sample pointers would be vey helpful.

Thanks,
Chandini

Hi Chandini

This is certainly possible. In essence you create a SAML Authentication Provider/Entry point. Take a look at the spring saml module, alternatively if you're looking for a quicker and simpler solution take a look at our spring security plugin which is SAML based.
