The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Venkat R <address@concealed>]

Does any one if Sympa supports SAML authentication in wwsympa/web interface? I read some docs saying SAML is considered for the SOAP interface, but not sure if it already implemented.

SAML can provide user profile too that includes the user email which is needed for Sympa. With CAS it can auth but not get user email id, so sympa relies on LDAP for it. But if Sympa supports SAML it can do auth and also get user profile.

Any direction on it is appreciated.

Thanks,
Venkat
