Service Provider Adapter

A service provider adapter allows the developer to plug-in application specific logic before and/or after single sign-on, single logout, termination and new name identifier process. The SAML2ServiceProviderAdapter abstract class provides methods that could be extended to perform user specific logics during SAML v2 protocol processing on the Service Provider side. The implementation class could be configured on a per service provider basis in the extended metadata configuration.


Note –

A singleton instance of this SAML2ServiceProviderAdapter class will be used per service provider during runtime, so make sure implementation of the methods are thread safe.
