Spring Boot-based sample Service Provider by using Spring Security SAML extension

##References

####Spring Boot

Spring Boot makes it easy to create Spring-powered, production-grade applications and services with absolute minimum fuss. It takes an opinionated view of the Spring platform so that new and existing users can quickly get to the bits they need.

####Spring Security SAML Extension

Spring SAML Extension allows seamless inclusion of SAML 2.0 Service Provider capabilities in Spring applications. All products supporting SAML 2.0 in Identity Provider mode (e.g. ADFS 2.0, Shibboleth, OpenAM/OpenSSO, Ping Federate, Okta) can be used to connect with Spring SAML Extension.

##Project description

Currently Spring Security SAML module doesn't provide a starter for Spring Boot. Moreover, its configuration is XML-based as of this writing. The aim of this project is to explain how to develop a Service Provider (SP) which uses Spring Boot (1.1.6) and Spring Security SAML Extension (1.0.0.RELEASE), by defining an annotation-based configuration (Java Configuration). Thymeleaf (2.1.1) is also used as template engine.

SSOCircle (ssocircle.com) is used as public Identity Provider for test purpose.
