I have a running web application built in spring. Now i want to add SAML authentication feature to this application.
How can i do that? Is there any specific link or step by step doc/pdf which tells us to configure SAML authentication in a spring web application.
I tried doing google and found few articles like one below
http://docs.spring.io/autorepo/docs/spring-security-saml/1.0.x-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/
But in every article it is using
Maven. Is Maven mandatory to use SAML authentication ? I am a bit confused ( actually have not used Maven yet and also after doing
google i found it to be a build tool, hence my curiosity grew even more as in why in every SAML authentication article , Maven is being used )
Can anyone please share a link or
doc ( preferably without Maven ) which has detailed steps to add SAML authentication features to a simple spring application.
