Automate SAML logon with external IdP

Hi Daniel,

thanks for getting back to me.

With our Shibboleth install, once I have authenticated into one system via our IdP then if I visit another site configured to point at the IdP (whilst my SAML token is valid) then it will automatically perform the attribute release for that system and log me in without further interaction. It's possible that it's using the cookie method you describe here, I will have to check.

Yes, our IdP is local and load balanced by the F5 so one option would be to get F5 to create an SP session and then perform an SSO into the IdP.

Is it possible to do this via an iRule so that it could be done in the background? The piece I'm missing at the moment is how I could combine the SP request with the SSO action.

Thanks for your help so far.
