Hello,
Looking to get few tips on finding open source SAML solutions to
achieve SSO. I understand,
http://saml.xml.org/wiki/saml-open-source-implementations is a
plausible list. However, found that jsso is good contender. What's
other solutions out there ? Please provide your thoughts and
suggestions in helping picking a solution with limited constraints.

Cheers,
John

Background:  I do a lot of "how to add two-factor authentication to
your X" tutorials for our website and other sites.  I typically play
with stuff enough to get it working and document it.  So my knowledge
is cursory, but broad.

That's a pretty good list. I do not see CAS on the list.  I have
played with CAS and got it working with Radius, once, but then could
not replicate it and did not document it.  There's a lot of maven
builds that have to happen. I dropped it.  I got OpenSSO installed and
running, but frankly was so confused by the UI and terminology that I
couldn't make any headway, so I dropped that too.  Many of them are no
actively developed.  I know a couple of our customers use simpleSaml
b/c the like php.

I'm a big fan of JOSSO. (disclosure: we're partners).  I was able to
quickly create and document a working, basic solution and felt I could
easily add more complexity.  I worked with their Enterprise version,
which includes support for our Community & Enterprise version. It is
actively developed and the people are nice.  My tutorial on it is
here: http://www.howtoforge.com/adding-two-factor-authentication-to-josso

Hello.

We are working with some guys from RedHat implementing a solution
using JBOSS Picket Link.
Until now everything is going ok.
