[news.eclipse.technology.ohf] Re: Including SAML2 tokens in PIX/PDQ/XDS.

[Matthew Davis <mattadav@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'll split the question up and answer.

1. Embedding SAML in XDS.b over SOAP

If you're looking to do this in the context of XUA, there is an OHF 
component pending that will allow you to do this.  It uses WS-Trust to 
get a SAML assertion from a token provider and embeds it in the outgoing 
transaction's SOAP header.

If you want to embed it yourself, it can be done, although it will 
require source code modification.  This is actually something that would 
be very nice for us to add - the ability to access the SOAP header from 
the top level API.  Anyway, you can access the outbound SOAP header in:
org.eclipse.ohf.ihe.common.ws.AbstractOHFSOAPSender.send(SOAPEnvelope,Map). 


2.  Embed SAML in PIX/PDQ

At this time we only support PIX/PDQ over HL7v2.  I believe there has 
been some work to embed SAML XML inside of transactions, but we have not 
 attempted to do that yet.

Hope this helps,
-Matt
