“Vendor is NOT quite the correct word”

    Vendor is quite the correct work.
    
    I mean:
    
    IdP implementer vs app implementer.
    
    When we are talking about protocols, we are talking about implementers when it is how the code will work.
    
    I don’t think the IdP admin is the right term. It is an admin that is setting up the federation. She may not be the admin for the IdP, just happens to be the person setting things up. She could easily be classified as the admin for the app, and getting the app setup requires her to configure things in her IdP implementation.

        Dick,
        
        I really think you need to say "IDP-vendor" not IDP. Because IDP admins 
        are people too!
