SAML Interoperable Implementations, Tools, Libraries and Services

Interoperable solutions are key to rapid, successful, worry-free deployments. This program was designed to help deployers achieve this success by taking away some of the “unknowns” regarding how a solution will function on its own or with other related products. Customers evaluating or deploying solutions that have successfully completed the Kantara Interoperable program know that the implementation has passed our rigorous testing process which requires true interoperability with multiple implementations.
