Thank you Piotr,

A couple of questions embedded;

Do you have any installations that use SAML? What is creating the 
assertions in these installations?

Is this mapping of users to local uids done "on the fly" or in advance? 
What mechanisms are you using for tracking accounting statistics and 
enforcing policies?


Thanks,
Arnie
