Can the SSO library be used from within a desktop app?

Will be creating a desktop app with uses Shibboleth for account verification. Can that be done using the SAML SSO components and if so, are there any good examples around?

Thanks

The SAML SSO is a browser based protocol. Most protocol messages are transmitted using HTTP redirects or posts via the browser.
Using a desktop applications means you will have to appear like a browser to the identity provider and service provider web sites.
We don’t have any examples using a desktop application. Our examples are web applications accessed through a browser.
If you can provide more specific details about your requirements I can provide more information.
