Description

Hello Team,

I'm currently spring security 6.2 which internally uses OpenSAML 4.3 Java library to handle the SAML assertion received from the IDP. However, I've encountered an issue where OpenSAML relies on the bcprov-jdk18on library, which is not compliant with FIPS standards. I integrated bc-fips version 1.0.2.4. However, this change has led to numerous "class not found" errors, and the system is not functioning correctly.

Spring Security SAML uses OpenSAML 4.3 which has hard dependency with non FIPS library which makes Spring Security SAML as not useable for federal projects .
