We have a plenty of quickstarts covering some of the most important aspects of PicketLink Federation: SAML based SSO, WS-Trust support and so forth. The repository for those quickstarts is located at https://github.com/picketlink2/picketlink-quickstarts.

The best way to get those quickstarts up and running is using the Section 1.7, “PicketLink Installer”. Usually, when using PicketLink Federation you don't ship the libraries inside your deployment, but you get them from the container where it is deployed. That is exactly what the installer does (among other things), it will prepare your JBoss EAP installation with the PicketLink JBoss Modules. The installer also performs some additional configuration to an existing JBoss EAP 6 installation in order to get the quickstarts up and running, such as changing your standalone.xml and deploying the example applications. Is just a matter of run the installer, start the server and start using the examples !
