+= OpenSAML Support
+
+Spring Security provides an API for implementing SAML 2.0 features, and it also provides a default implementation using OpenSAML.
+
+Because Spring Security supports more than one version of OpenSAML at the same time, the components use the following naming convention:
+
+* Any component that is usable across all supported versions is named `OpenSamlXXX`.
+* Any component that targets OpenSAML 4.x is named `OpenSaml4XXX`
+* Any component that targets OpenSAML 5.x is named `OpenSaml5XXX`
+
+`spring-security-config` selects between these implementations by default by discovering which version your application is currently using.
+For example, if you are using OpenSAML 4, Spring Security will use the `OpenSaml4XXX` components.
+
+== Selecting OpenSAML 4
+
+Spring Security depends on OpenSAML 4 by default, so you need do nothing to begin using it other than importing the `spring-security-saml` dependency.
+
+== Selecting OpenSAML 5
+
+To use OpenSAML, you should override the `opensaml` dependencies as follows:
