In this chapter, you have seen the basics of Spring 4.0 Web MVC creation and build tools such as Maven and Gradle as a recap and practice session. You have seen the usage of the Spring tool suite where we created a web-based MVC project and executed and modified the programs to implement the login and logout features.
Then, we explored the open source implementations of SAML 2.0 available as Identity providers and how to register with the web-based IDP SSOCircle. The other IDPs such as Shiboleth and OpenSSO were also introduced for further experiments with SAML 2.0.
Finally, you learned how to use the Spring4.0 SAML extensions to implement single sign-on and sign off by connecting to the SSOCircle web-based authentication mechanism. At this point, feel free to explore the other SSO providers by registering with them, or you can install some of them in your local system as well.
