The SAML v2 Plug-in for Federation Services can be deployed on an instance of Federation Manager 7.0 2005Q4 deployed on a Windows environment. The plug-in runs on:
Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4 or above
Windows 2000 Server SP4 or above

The SAML v2 Plug-in for Federation Services for Windows was only tested on Windows 2003 Enterprise Server although it should work on all the platforms listed
The procedure to install the SAML v2 Plug-in for Federation Services on an instance of Federation Manager deployed in a Windows environment is the same as the procedure used to install it on an instance of Federation Manager deployed in a Solaris operating environment with one exception: saml2setup should be changed to saml2setup.bat.
