Hi,
I found this interesting link (given below)where Lockheed Martin (the people who make the F16) are hiring....SAML experts....hence I think SAML has taken the test of time and graduated to become a commercially viable solution.....not for academic institutions only....

Commercial viability is the ultiumate key to success. Having the endorsement of Lockheed Martin provides a degree of legitimacy that others will influence the selection of others. Too often, we don't want to be the "early adopter", but once we gain a recognizable reference, in this case Lockheed, it makes ouyr decision appear to be more rational.
I commend Sumantra for such an a propos posting. It nicely linked our academic pursuits, with tangible evidence of job market needs.
Agreed. Very enlightening. Makes you wonder if this position is there to explore the viability of SAML in Lockheed applications or if its already decided to being actively persued. Remember Lockheed contracts with the Government so I think they would have pretty stringent security authentication for their systems.
