Are the GridShib SAML Tools designed for end users?
Yes, you can use the SAML Tools to self-assert SAML attributes (using the SAML Assertion Issuer Tool) or to obtain SAML attributes from a Shibboleth AA (using the SAML Attribute Query Client). You can also use the GridShib SAML Tools to help GridShib for GT discover your preferred identity provider (by pushing the unique identifier of your IdP).
