Change type of authentication using Spring Security SAML Extension

I've tested the Spring Security SAML Extension for integration in my project and it looks good for me. But I have one problem with this implementation: How can I change the authentication to a form based login?

I have an application with a login form. And the requirement is that the authentication goes against an Active Directory Federation Services. But up to now I found no way in the SAML Extension.

Sorry about this question, but my experience in Spring Security are not very good. I hope the someone here can help me in a simple way.

Best Regards Thomas

The main point of federation protocols (like SAML) is that user's credentials are only used at the Identity Provider (= ADFS), and are not revealed to the Service Providers. In other words when using SAML you can't have a form login on your SP page.

If you want to combine multiple authentication methods - e.g. SAML + form login against local database, it is of course possible.
