How to validate SAMLToken(SAMLAuthenticationHandler) from outside aem

[Diego_Fontan]

Can someone provide any idea how to validate specific saml token(saml authentication handler) from outside AEM? 

Basically we have an external API which hit an SlingServlet in order to retrieve  AEM content information.  AEM it's integrated with SAML thru Saml Authentication Handler so API need to check saml token is valid or not.

If External application is saml enabled & you do not need to check the sso should take care of it automatically.  The other options are [1] if you follow that in my opinion you are mis using the purpose of SSO.

Saml response xml is stored in user profile node & make use of it to validate.
