SAML Provider/Implementations Compatible?

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this subject for me. I have two customers that want to integration with my software as a service (SaaS) application using SAML Single Sign-On.

  • Customer A is using PingFederate as their Identity Provider
  • Customer B is using Shibboleth as their Identity Provider

I'm wondering, if I set up the Service Provider instance of either one of these two solutions, can the interoperate with the other since they both use SAML?

For example:

[Customer] PingFederate --> [ServiceProvider] Shibboleth

OR

[Customer] Shibboleth --> [ServiceProvider] PingFederate

That's essentially the point of having a SAML standard. What you use to implement the service provider and what they use to implement the identity provider shouldn't matter, as long as both sides are following the standard.
