not exactly, integrate with SAML can be done in 3.5 based on aaa extensions. whether we will integrate out of the box with SAML in 3.6 or later is a different question.

Alon - can we give instructions how to test this with 3.5 for SAML for SSO to portals, not sso to VMs?
Tim - can customer check this during 3.5 beta cycle?

Never tried it.
But if configuration of mod_auth_saml[1] is intact and provide authenticated user within REMOTE_USER, then it should not be different from mod_auth_kerb[2] configuration.

If the mod_auth_saml is insufficient an authn extension can be implemented to support that, this requires development work vs the integration above.

I will be happy to work with anyone establish saml environment and working mod_auth_saml configuration to integrate it with ovirt-engine.

this can be done in 3.5 per comment#17, suggest to close as NEXT_RELEASE.
