NimbostratusXML Commands in v10
I note in the Wiki that the XML:: commands are now no longer available in v10. Is this a permanent thing, or can we expect them to return at some point?
I'm faced with the prospect of constructing my own XML parser to translate SAML POSTS into other types of SSO connections (Siteminder, for example) and I'm a little hesitant to build my own if the XML:: commands are going to make a return in future releases. Any idea?
Just to elaborate, I'm wanting to construct something that will capture the SAML return POST from the STS login service to a VS, extract the login status (Success, Reject, etc.), the userid (Email), and claim information (multiple group claims), then convert them to a series of HTTP headers or parameters that are then posted to a variety of Siteminder SSO connectors. The SAML post is an XML document with no CDATA segments, so I can probably do most of it through regular expressions, but...

From reading the wiki page it looks like that is a feature that they have turned into an EA (Early Access) feature, meaning you have to apply for a license key to get access to try to use it. I am sure they would appreciate someone willing to test out those features, but if you are going through all that trouble to write a SSO piece for your company then I understand wanting to get some more clarification as to when the commands will become generally available for regular use.
Here is a link to the EA License detail page. It can tell you about how to get a license.
I am posting to this thread also to give it a BUMP up to see if any of the DevCentral folks might know more about the XML command becoming available for use in the future.
