APM Cookbook: AutoLaunch SAML Resources

Hi Graham and thanks for this interesting article. One question on my side if i may: does this article works only where F5 is IdentityProvider ? My use case here is to use F5 as Service Provider with Identity Provider being a third party. Both are linked though "SAML". Then my users need to access a web application but do not want to go through a webtop. I found a way (thanks to a Virtual Server dedicated to my "web application") but was wondering if your case could also be another way. Hope i am clear enough...

Maybe me understanding where do such link (/saml/idp/res?id=/Common/app1-saml-resource) comes from would help. Would i also be able to have such "SAML resource link" when F5 is Service Provider and not Identity Provider or it does not make sense ?

Thanks a lot
