# SAMLSPServer Class

The SAMLSPServer class represents a SAML service provider.

## Syntax

```text
secureblackbox.SAMLSPServer
```

## Remarks

The Service Provider in the SAML exchange flow represents the web server that receives and accepts authentication assertions issued by the Identity Provider for single sign-on (SSO). Most commonly, an SP server is part of the application responsible for communicating with an Identity Provider to establish the authenticity of application users.

SAMLSPServer provides easy means of integrating the SAML Service Provider functionality into your application. It presents a fully-features SP endpoint with its own HTTP(S) and assertion validation engines.

Please find below a step-by-step guide on setting up your own SAML SP endpoint.

- Register the IdP metadata using the [ImportSettings](#importsettings-method-samlspserver-class) method. Most IDPs let you download their metadata in XML format. The metadata file contains general parameters of the IdP endpoint, such as its web address and algorithm requirements.

```text
  server.ImportSettings(metadataBytes, false); // contains "<?xml version="1.0"?><md:EntityDescriptor ID="ab12" ... </md:EntityDescriptor>";
```

- Configure the main server capabilities:

```text
  // public server endpoint (use "https://" and/or port 443 if required)
  server.URL = "http://sp.myapp.com";
  server.Port = 80;

  // IdP triggers this URL to pull metadata
  server.MetadataURL = '/sp/metadata';

  // ACS is th "main" SP endpoint that receives assertions from the IdP
  server.AssertionConsumerService = '/sp/AssertionConsumerService';
  server.SPToIDPBinding = csbtRedirect; // the SP will use HTTP redirect to forward the browser to the IdP when required
  server.AssertionConsumerServiceBindings = 'POST'; // and we want the IdP to use POST to submit its assertions
  server.PreferredIDPToSPBinding = csbtPOST;

  // Single logout service setup
  server.SingleLogoutService = '/sp/SingleLogoutService';
  server.SingleLogoutServiceBindings = 'Redirect,POST,Artifact';
  server.LogoutPage = '/sp/logout';
  server.RedirectOnLogoutPage = 'https://www.nsoftware.com';

  // The document root of the server on the local system
  server.BaseDir = "D:\\Inetpub\\SAMLSP";

  // Security parameters: indicating that we want to sign both
  // the metadata and the requests
  server.SignAuthnRequests = true;
  server.SignMetadata = true;

  // We need to attach certificates to be able to sign.
  // Assume we have loaded our signing certificate into
  // a CertificateManager object.
  server.SigningCertificate = mgr.Certificate;
  server.MetaSigningCertificate = mgr.Certificate;
```

- Personalize the server:

```text
  server.Config("OrganizationName=My Organization Ltd");
  server.Config("OrganizationDisplayName=My Organization Pet Supplies");
  server.Config("OrganizationURL=http://myorg.com");
  server.Config("SigDigestMethod=http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#sha256");
  server.Config("SigMethod=http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#rsa-sha256");
  server.Config("WantAssertionsSigned=true");
```

- Optionally, save metadata to an XML file. This will let you send/upload it to the IdP, so they could set your SP up. Some IdPs can download the metadata right from your SP using the [MetadataURL](#metadataurl-property-samlspserver-class) that you've provided above, in which case saving it to a file is not necessary.

```text
  server.SaveMetadata("my_metadata.xml");
```

 You are now ready to start the server:

```text
  server.Start();
```

 The server should now be running on the local system, listening to incoming connections on the port that you have specified above (80). Use your browser to check if the server is responding by navigating to the metadata URL (http://127.0.0.1:80/sp/metadata). If the server has been set up right, you should see something like this:

 Now let us actually try to use the SAML functionality. Copy an arbitrary file - for example, a recent photo of your cat - to the directory you provided earlier via the [BaseDir](#basedir-property-samlspserver-class) property (D:\Inetpub\SAMLSP). Having copied the file (suppose it is called clifford.jpg), try to access it in your browser by navigating to http://127.0.0.1:80/clifford.jpg.

This is where SAML kicks in. Since you are not authenticated for the SP server yet (we have just launched it, so no one is), the server redirects your browser to the IdP endpoint for authentication. The address of the IdP is taken from the their_metadata.xml file that you have loaded at the very beginning.

*Note*: you can configure which resources to restrict access to using the [ProtectedResources](#protectedresources-property-samlspserver-class) property. If [ProtectedResources](#protectedresources-property-samlspserver-class) is empty, the server considers all the files in [BaseDir](#basedir-property-samlspserver-class) and its subfolders to be protected.

It is now the IdP services turn to authenticate you. Most IdPs on this stage will present you with a login form. Yet, if you have signed in recently, the IdP may still remember you, in which case it will skip the form and proceed directly to the next step. After establishing and proving your identity, the IdP will generate an *assertion*, a signed proof that effectively states that the IdP knows who you are and have verified your identity rigorously. Think of the assertion as your *unique pass* to the resources protected by the SP. The IdP will then submit that assertion back to the SP at its AssertionConsumerService endpoint, again using your browser.

*Note* that the SP service knows nothing about how IdP authenticates you. All the SP is interested in is an assertion.

 If the assertion is well-formed and its signature is valid, the SAML exchange completes. At this point the SP accepts the assertion and creates a *session* for you. You can now access the resources protected by the SP for as long as the session lasts. If this step succeeds, you should see the photo of your cat in your browser.

Additional certificates for chain validation.

## Syntax

```text
public CertificateList getKnownCertificates();
```

## Remarks

Use this property to supply a list of additional certificates that might be needed for chain validation. An example of a scenario where you might want to do that is when intermediary CA certificates are absent from the standard system locations (or when there are no standard system locations), and therefore should be supplied to the class manually.

The purpose of the certificates to be added to this collection is roughly equivalent to that of the Intermediate Certification Authorities system store in Windows.

Do not add trust anchors or root certificates to this collection: add them to TrustedCertificates instead.

This property is not available at design time.

 Please refer to the [Certificate](#certificate-type) type for a complete list of fields.

# KnownKeys Property ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Enables the Offline mode.

## Syntax

```text
public boolean isOfflineMode();
public void setOfflineMode(boolean offlineMode);
```

## Default Value

Populates a list of services supported by the SP.

## Syntax

```text
public SAMLServiceInfoList getSPServices();
```

## Remarks

Use this property to access the list of services supported by the SP. In the SAMLSPServer, this is the list of services supported by the SP. In the SAMLIdPServer, this is the list of services advertised by the remote SP server. These can be loaded from the respective SP's metadata or set manually via [AddSPService](#addspservice-method-samlspserver-class) method.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

 Please refer to the [SAMLServiceInfo](#samlserviceinfo-type) type for a complete list of fields.

# SPSettings Property ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

## Syntax

```text
public CertificateList getTLSServerChain();
```

## Remarks

Use this property to provide a list of TLS certificates for the server endpoint.

 A TLS endpoint needs a certificate to be able to accept TLS connections. At least one of the certificates in the collection - the endpoint certificate - must have a private key associated with it.

The collection may include more than one endpoint certificate, and more than one chain. A typical usage scenario is to include two chains (ECDSA and RSA), to cater for clients with different cipher suite preferences.

This property is not available at design time.

 Please refer to the [Certificate](#certificate-type) type for a complete list of fields.

# TLSSettings Property ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

## Syntax

```text
public String getURL();
public void setURL(String URL);
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

Use this property to set the base URL for this Service Provider (SP) server.

Please make sure the URL you provide here aligns well with the relative endpoint resource paths, such as AssertionConsumerService or ArtifactResolutionService. The two parts (the URL and the endpoint paths) are concatenated to produce full endpoint URLs. Please double check that only one of the parts includes the slash character in it: either the endpoint paths at the beginning (the default configuration), or the base URL at the end.

# AddIdPService Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Registers an IdP service in the IdPServices list.

## Syntax

```text
public void addIdPService(int service, int bindingType, String location, int priority, int index);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to add an entry to the list of known external SAML services and their locations.

The service provider needs to be knowledgeable of the external IdP services that it needs to use. That information can either be provided in the form of a metadata file (see [ImportSettings](#importsettings-method-samlspserver-class)), or registered manually using this method.

When using this method, make sure to register all the services you expect to work with. Note that if the same IdP service is available through several different transports (*bindings*), you will need to register each (service, transport) pair individually:

```text
  sp.AddIdPService(spsSingleSignOnService, csbtPOST, "https://idp.identityserver/saml/sso", -1, -1);
  sp.AddIdPService(spsSingleSignOnService, csbtRedirect, "https://idp.identityserver/saml/sso", -1, -1);
```

Use the *Service* parameter to specify the service to register:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| spsUnknown | 0 | The service is of unknown or unsupported type |
| spsAssertionConsumerService | 1 | The assertion consumer service (SP side only) |
| spsSingleLogoutService | 2 | The single logout service (SP or IdP sides) |
| spsArtifactResolutionService | 3 | The artifact resolution service (SP or IdP sides) |
| spsAttributeQueryService | 4 | The attribute query service (IdP side only) |
| spsSingleSignOnService | 5 | The single sign-on service (IdP side only) |

The *BindingType* specifies the transport type that the service being registered should use. Note that not every kind of service supports every kind of transport. It is typical for SSO and SLS services to use POST or Redirect bindings. This information is typically provided by the identity provider.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| csbtNone | 0 | TBD |
| csbtSOAP | 1 | TBD |
| csbtPAOS | 2 | TBD |
| csbtRedirect | 3 | TBD |
| csbtPOST | 4 | TBD |
| csbtArtifact | 5 | TBD |

The *Location* parameter specifies the absolute URL of the respective SAML web endpoint.

The *Priority* parameter specifies the relative priority of the transport among several identical services. The actual transport used may be different to the specified priority, as the request received from the SP (such as AuthnRequest) may explicitly request a specific transport to use.

The *Index* parameter specifies the index of the endpoint, which is a unique value assigned to each endpoint. Pass -1 unless you want to provide the index explicitly.

Note that this method registers a *known* service - something that the service provider should be aware of. This is different to the purpose of the [AddSPService](#addspservice-method-samlspserver-class) method, which registers the service provider's *own* service.

# AddSPService Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Registers an SP service in the SPServices list.

## Syntax

```text
public void addSPService(int service, int bindingType, String location, int priority, int index);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to add an entry to the list of SAML services and their locations provided by the SP.

A service provider can provide a variety of SAML services through a selection of endpoints, each supporting one or more transports (or *bindings*). Typical examples are an assertion consumer service or a single logout service, each of which can be served independently on the same or different endpoints, via a POST or Redirect transports (or both).

Each AddSPService call registers a single service offered via a single transport. If you would like to have the same service to be available using several different transports, you need to register each combination individually, even if the service runs at the same web endpoint:

```text
  sp.AddSPService(spsAssertionConsumerService, csbtPOST, '/saml/acs', -1, 1);
  sp.AddSPService(spsAssertionConsumerService, csbtRedirect, '/saml/acs', -1, 2);
```

Use the *Service* parameter to specify the service to register:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| spsUnknown | 0 | The service is of unknown or unsupported type |
| spsAssertionConsumerService | 1 | The assertion consumer service (SP side only) |
| spsSingleLogoutService | 2 | The single logout service (SP or IdP sides) |
| spsArtifactResolutionService | 3 | The artifact resolution service (SP or IdP sides) |
| spsAttributeQueryService | 4 | The attribute query service (IdP side only) |
| spsSingleSignOnService | 5 | The single sign-on service (IdP side only) |

The *BindingType* specifies the transport type that the service being registered should use. Note that not every kind of service supports every kind of transport. It is typical for ACS service to use POST binding (due to the size of assertions), and SLS to either use POST or Redirect.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| csbtNone | 0 | TBD |
| csbtSOAP | 1 | TBD |
| csbtPAOS | 2 | TBD |
| csbtRedirect | 3 | TBD |
| csbtPOST | 4 | TBD |
| csbtArtifact | 5 | TBD |

The *Location* parameter specifies an absolute or relative path to the service within the SAML web service:

```text
  sp.AddSPService(spsAssertionConsumerService, csbtPOST, 'https://app.com/saml/acs', -1, 1); // absolute path
  sp.AddSPService(spsAssertionConsumerService, csbtRedirect, '/saml/acs', -1, 2); // relative path
```

The *Priority* parameter is nominal as it only specifies the relative priority of the transport in the SP metadata. The actual transport used, among those supported, depends on the choice of the external identity provider. Pass -1 to stick with the default priority.

The *Index* parameter specifies the index of the endpoint, which is a unique value assigned to each endpoint. Pass -1 unless you want to provide the index explicitly.

Note that this method registers the service provider's *own* service - something that the service provider provides. This is different to [AddIdPService](#addidpservice-method-samlspserver-class) method, which registers a foreign identity provider's service - something that the service provider should *be aware of*.

# Cleanup Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Cleans up the server environment by purging expired sessions and cleaning caches.

## Syntax

```text
public void cleanup();
```

## Remarks

Call this method while the server is active to clean up the environment allocated for the server by releasing unused resources and cleaning caches.

# Config Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

## Syntax

```text
public String config(String configurationString);
```

## Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#config-settings-samlspserver-class) for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named *PROPERTY*, you must call *Config("PROPERTY=VALUE")*, where *VALUE* is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a [configuration setting](#config-settings-samlspserver-class), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# DoAction Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Performs an additional action.

## Syntax

```text
public String doAction(String actionID, String actionParams);
```

## Remarks

DoAction is a generic method available in every class. It is used to perform an additional action introduced after the product major release. The list of actions is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.

The unique identifier (case insensitive) of the action is provided in the *ActionID* parameter.

*ActionParams* contains the value of a single parameter, or a list of multiple parameters for the action in the form of *PARAM1=VALUE1;PARAM2=VALUE2;...*.

Common ActionIDs:

|  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Action | Parameters | Returned value | Description |
| ResetTrustedListCache | none | none | Clears the cached list of trusted lists. |
| ResetCertificateCache | none | none | Clears the cached certificates. |
| ResetCRLCache | none | none | Clears the cached CRLs. |
| ResetOCSPResponseCache | none | none | Clears the cached OCSP responses. |

# DropClient Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Terminates a client connection.

## Syntax

```text
public void dropClient(long connectionId, boolean forced);
```

## Remarks

Call this method to shut down a connected client. *Forced* indicates whether the connection should be closed in a graceful manner.

# ExportSettings Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Saves the SP or IdP configuration to an XML metadata file.

## Syntax

```text
public String exportSettings(boolean SP);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to save the Service Provider (SP) or Identity Provider (IdP) configuration in the form of XML metadata. The SP metadata file may then be transferred to identity providers (IdP) to let them know about the SP configuration.

Adjust the provider configuration as required in [SPSettings](#spsettings-property-samlspserver-class) or [IdPSettings](#idpsettings-property-samlspserver-class) object before calling this method. Assign [MetaSigningCertificate](#metasigningcertificate-property-samlspserver-class) to enforce signing of the metadata XML.

# GetClientBuffer Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Acquires a piece of operation data.

## Syntax

```text
public byte[] getClientBuffer(long connectionID, String handle);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to obtain a piece of data relevant to a transfer operation in a thread-safe way.

A typical place to call this method is inside the [ResourceWrite](#resourcewrite-event-samlspserver-class) event handler, when implementing customized file transfers.

# GetProviderProperty Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Returns the value of a custom provider property.

## Syntax

```text
public String getProviderProperty(String name);
```

## Remarks

This method, together with [SetProviderProperty](#setproviderproperty-method-samlspserver-class), provides an extensible way of managing the Service Provider's settings that are not available through the primary properties of the component. As SAML usage scenarios evolve and new providers appear, the list of supported properties can be extended.

The following properties are currently supported:

- ContactPerson
- OrganizationName
- OrganizationDisplayName
- OrganizationURL
- OrganizationLang

# GetRequestBytes Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Returns the contents of the connected client's HTTP request.

## Syntax

```text
public byte[] getRequestBytes(long connectionID, String requestFilter);
```

## Remarks

# GetSessionProperty Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Returns the value of a custom session property.

## Syntax

```text
public String getSessionProperty(String sessionID, String name);
```

## Remarks

This method, together with [SetSessionProperty](#setsessionproperty-method-samlspserver-class), provides an extensible way of managing the Service Provider's session properties that are not available through the primary properties and events of the component. These methods can be called on any active browser session. Use [SessionCreated](#sessioncreated-event-samlspserver-class) and [SessionDestroyed](#sessiondestroyed-event-samlspserver-class) events to get notifications about session creation and disposal.

The following properties are supported for SP sessions and can be passed to the *Name* parameter of this method:

- Authenticated: whether the session has been authenticated with the IdP service.
- AuthnRequestID: the AuthnRequest ID.
- Expires: the web session expiration time.
- LogoutRequestID: the LogoutRequest ID.
- NameID: the NameID of the user.

- Stage: the current session stage (or epoch).

# ImportSettings Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Loads the metadata required for information exchange with the identity provider. Both local (SP-side) and remote (IdP-side) metadata can be loaded with this call.

## Syntax

```text
public void importSettings(String metadata, boolean SP);
```

## Remarks

The Identity provider (IdP) may have different options and requirements for interactions with the Service Provider (SP). Usually all these options together with X.509 certificates needed for data exchange are stored in XML metadata files. Use this method to load metadata from a file generated by an IdP.

The *Metadata* parameter contains metadata in the form of byte array. Set *SP* parameter to true to indicate that it is the Service Provider's own settings that are being loaded.

The loaded metadata is populated in the [SPSettings](#spsettings-property-samlspserver-class) or [IdPSettings](#idpsettings-property-samlspserver-class) object (depending on the value of the *SP* parameter).

# InitiateArtifactResolve Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Initiates the artifact resolution protocol.

## Syntax

```text
public int initiateArtifactResolve(long connectionID, String sessionID, int idPServiceIndex, String artifact, String tag);
```

## Remarks

Use this event to initiate the artifact resolution protocol for *Artifact*. Specify the desired SP service endpoint via the *IdPServiceIndex* parameter.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| sprUnknown | 0 | Unknown or undefined processing result |
| sprSuccess | 1 | The processing completed successfully. No tangible output has been generated (e.g. an artifact was resolved and acknowledged, but nothing needs to be sent to the browser). |
| sprSAMLMessage | 2 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party. |
| sprSignOnPage | 3 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains or redirects to a SAML login page. |
| sprResource | 4 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains, or redirects to, a generic web resource. |
| sprSAMLError | 5 | The processing failed due to SAML-related issue (bad sign-on parameters, unknown principal etc.). The output contains a SAML error message. This still needs to be relayed to the other SAML party. |
| sprTransportError | 6 | The operation could not be completed due to an issue with configuration (e.g. non-existent SAML endpoint), permissions, or network. The SAML protocol could not commence. The output contains a transport-layer (HTTP) error message which can/should be displayed to the user in the browser. |

You can use this method with or without the [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-samlspserver-class).

Note: this method is currently in development and will be available in later SecureBlackbox updates.

# InitiateAttributeQuery Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Initiates the attribute query.

## Syntax

```text
public int initiateAttributeQuery(long connectionID, String sessionID, int idPServiceIndex, String nameID, String nameIDFormat, String attributes, String attrNameFormats, String attrFriendlyNames, String tag);
```

## Remarks

Use this event to initiate the attribute query for user *NameID*. Specify the desired *Attributes* as a list of CRLF-separated attribute names. *AttrNameFormats* and *AttrFriendlyNames* can also be provided in the same way.

Specify the IdP AQS endpoint via the *IdPServiceIndex* parameter.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| sprUnknown | 0 | Unknown or undefined processing result |
| sprSuccess | 1 | The processing completed successfully. No tangible output has been generated (e.g. an artifact was resolved and acknowledged, but nothing needs to be sent to the browser). |
| sprSAMLMessage | 2 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party. |
| sprSignOnPage | 3 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains or redirects to a SAML login page. |
| sprResource | 4 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains, or redirects to, a generic web resource. |
| sprSAMLError | 5 | The processing failed due to SAML-related issue (bad sign-on parameters, unknown principal etc.). The output contains a SAML error message. This still needs to be relayed to the other SAML party. |
| sprTransportError | 6 | The operation could not be completed due to an issue with configuration (e.g. non-existent SAML endpoint), permissions, or network. The SAML protocol could not commence. The output contains a transport-layer (HTTP) error message which can/should be displayed to the user in the browser. |

You can use this method with or without the [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-samlspserver-class).

Note: this method is currently in development and will be available in later SecureBlackbox updates.

# InitiateAuth Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Starts SP-initiated SAML authentication flow.

## Syntax

```text
public int initiateAuth(long connectionID, String sessionID, int idPServiceIndex, String nameIDFormat, String relayState, String tag);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to initiate SAML authentication flow on the SP side. Pass the index of the single sign-on service that you want to use to the *IdPServiceIndex* parameter. Leave it empty to let the component pick up the best one automatically. Use *RelayState* to pass the callback URL to the IdP service. This will be mirrored back by the IDP in its response.

This method returns the processing result as one of the values given below. Right before it returns it passes the processing results back to the caller via the [ProcessingCompleted](#processingcompleted-event-samlspserver-class) event. This event fires independently of the processing outcome (success or failure), and contains the same *ConnectionID* that is passed to this call.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| sprUnknown | 0 | Unknown or undefined processing result |
| sprSuccess | 1 | The processing completed successfully. No tangible output has been generated (e.g. an artifact was resolved and acknowledged, but nothing needs to be sent to the browser). |
| sprSAMLMessage | 2 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party. |
| sprSignOnPage | 3 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains or redirects to a SAML login page. |
| sprResource | 4 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains, or redirects to, a generic web resource. |
| sprSAMLError | 5 | The processing failed due to SAML-related issue (bad sign-on parameters, unknown principal etc.). The output contains a SAML error message. This still needs to be relayed to the other SAML party. |
| sprTransportError | 6 | The operation could not be completed due to an issue with configuration (e.g. non-existent SAML endpoint), permissions, or network. The SAML protocol could not commence. The output contains a transport-layer (HTTP) error message which can/should be displayed to the user in the browser. |

You can use this method with or without the [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-samlspserver-class).

# InitiateLogout Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Starts SP-initiated SAML logout flow.

## Syntax

```text
public int initiateLogout(long connectionID, String sessionID, int idPServiceIndex, String nameID, String sessionIndex, String relayState, String tag);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to initiate SAML logout flow on the SP side. Pass the index of the single logout service that you want to use to the *IdPServiceIndex* parameter.

Use *IdPServiceIndex* to specify the identity provider's service that you want to use for signing out. Provide the existing SAML session details in one of the following ways:

- as an HTTP *SessionID*: in this case the component will try to pick the matching SAML session from its session cache.
- as a known *NameID*.
- as a known SAML *SessionIndex*.

You can use a combination of the above.

This method returns the processing result as one of the values given below. Right before it returns it passes the processing results back to the caller via the [ProcessingCompleted](#processingcompleted-event-samlspserver-class) event. This event fires independently of the processing outcome (success or failure), and contains the same *ConnectionID* that is passed to this call.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| sprUnknown | 0 | Unknown or undefined processing result |
| sprSuccess | 1 | The processing completed successfully. No tangible output has been generated (e.g. an artifact was resolved and acknowledged, but nothing needs to be sent to the browser). |
| sprSAMLMessage | 2 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party. |
| sprSignOnPage | 3 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains or redirects to a SAML login page. |
| sprResource | 4 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains, or redirects to, a generic web resource. |
| sprSAMLError | 5 | The processing failed due to SAML-related issue (bad sign-on parameters, unknown principal etc.). The output contains a SAML error message. This still needs to be relayed to the other SAML party. |
| sprTransportError | 6 | The operation could not be completed due to an issue with configuration (e.g. non-existent SAML endpoint), permissions, or network. The SAML protocol could not commence. The output contains a transport-layer (HTTP) error message which can/should be displayed to the user in the browser. |

Use *RelayState* to pass a value to the IdP that you want to be mirrored back in the IdP's response. The *Tag* value will be similarly mirrored, but in the component's events, such as [ProcessingCompleted](#processingcompleted-event-samlspserver-class).

You can use this method with or without the [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-samlspserver-class).

# ListClients Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Enumerates the connected clients.

## Syntax

```text
public String listClients();
```

## Remarks

This method enumerates the connected clients. It returns a list of strings, with each string being of 'ConnectionID|Address|Port' format, and representing a single connection.

# PinClient Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Takes a snapshot of the connection's properties.

## Syntax

```text
public void pinClient(long connectionId);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to take a snapshot of a connected client. The captured properties are populated in [PinnedClient](#pinnedclient-property-samlspserver-class) and [PinnedClientChain](#pinnedclientchain-property-samlspserver-class) properties.

# ProcessArtifact Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Processes an artifact request received from the IdP service at one of artifact receiver endpoints.

## Syntax

```text
public int processArtifact(long connectionID, String sessionID, String request, String tag);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to pass a SAML artifact received at one of the artifact endpoints.

Artifact messages are typically very simple:

```text
https://idp.server.com/sso/artifact?SAMLart=artifact
```

In response to the artifact received, the server initiates an artifact resolution protocol to retrieve the SAML message identified by the artifact. This will typically expose itself via an invocation of the [ArtifactResolveRequestPrepared](#artifactresolverequestprepared-event-samlspserver-class) event, and, later on, of an event matching the type of the actual message received - such as [AssertionReceived](#assertionreceived-event-samlspserver-class).

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| sprUnknown | 0 | Unknown or undefined processing result |
| sprSuccess | 1 | The processing completed successfully. No tangible output has been generated (e.g. an artifact was resolved and acknowledged, but nothing needs to be sent to the browser). |
| sprSAMLMessage | 2 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party. |
| sprSignOnPage | 3 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains or redirects to a SAML login page. |
| sprResource | 4 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains, or redirects to, a generic web resource. |
| sprSAMLError | 5 | The processing failed due to SAML-related issue (bad sign-on parameters, unknown principal etc.). The output contains a SAML error message. This still needs to be relayed to the other SAML party. |
| sprTransportError | 6 | The operation could not be completed due to an issue with configuration (e.g. non-existent SAML endpoint), permissions, or network. The SAML protocol could not commence. The output contains a transport-layer (HTTP) error message which can/should be displayed to the user in the browser. |

You can use this method with or without the [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-samlspserver-class).

Note: this method is currently in development and will be available in later SecureBlackbox updates.

# ProcessArtifactResolveRequest Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Processes an artifact request received from the SP service at one of the ARS endpoints.

## Syntax

```text
public int processArtifactResolveRequest(long connectionID, String sessionID, String request, String tag);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to pass a SAML artifact request received at one of the ArtifactResolutionService endpoints.

This method returns the processing result as one of the values given below. Right before it returns it passes the processing results back to the caller via the [ProcessingCompleted](#processingcompleted-event-samlspserver-class) event. This event fires independently of the processing outcome (success or failure), and contains the same *ConnectionID* that is passed to this call.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| sprUnknown | 0 | Unknown or undefined processing result |
| sprSuccess | 1 | The processing completed successfully. No tangible output has been generated (e.g. an artifact was resolved and acknowledged, but nothing needs to be sent to the browser). |
| sprSAMLMessage | 2 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party. |
| sprSignOnPage | 3 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains or redirects to a SAML login page. |
| sprResource | 4 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains, or redirects to, a generic web resource. |
| sprSAMLError | 5 | The processing failed due to SAML-related issue (bad sign-on parameters, unknown principal etc.). The output contains a SAML error message. This still needs to be relayed to the other SAML party. |
| sprTransportError | 6 | The operation could not be completed due to an issue with configuration (e.g. non-existent SAML endpoint), permissions, or network. The SAML protocol could not commence. The output contains a transport-layer (HTTP) error message which can/should be displayed to the user in the browser. |

You can use this method with or without the [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-samlspserver-class).

Note: this method is currently in development and will be available in later SecureBlackbox updates.

# ProcessAssertion Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Processes assertion received from the IdP service at one of the ACS endpoints.

## Syntax

```text
public int processAssertion(long connectionID, String sessionID, String request, String tag);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to pass a SAML assertion received at one of the AssertionConsumerService endpoints.

This method returns the processing result as one of the values given below. Right before it returns it passes the processing results back to the caller via the [ProcessingCompleted](#processingcompleted-event-samlspserver-class) event. This event fires independently of the processing outcome (success or failure), and contains the same *ConnectionID* that is passed to this call.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| sprUnknown | 0 | Unknown or undefined processing result |
| sprSuccess | 1 | The processing completed successfully. No tangible output has been generated (e.g. an artifact was resolved and acknowledged, but nothing needs to be sent to the browser). |
| sprSAMLMessage | 2 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party. |
| sprSignOnPage | 3 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains or redirects to a SAML login page. |
| sprResource | 4 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains, or redirects to, a generic web resource. |
| sprSAMLError | 5 | The processing failed due to SAML-related issue (bad sign-on parameters, unknown principal etc.). The output contains a SAML error message. This still needs to be relayed to the other SAML party. |
| sprTransportError | 6 | The operation could not be completed due to an issue with configuration (e.g. non-existent SAML endpoint), permissions, or network. The SAML protocol could not commence. The output contains a transport-layer (HTTP) error message which can/should be displayed to the user in the browser. |

You can use this method with or without the [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-samlspserver-class).

# ProcessGenericRequest Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Processes a generic HTTP SAML request.

## Syntax

```text
public byte[] processGenericRequest(long connectionID, byte[] request);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to process a generic well-formed HTTP SAML request obtained elsewhere. This is a handy mechanism to bind the SAML processor to an external web engine.

The *Request* parameter is expected to contain a full HTTP request, including the HTTP method string (GET, POST) and all the headers. The generated response contains a full HTTP response that should be supplied back to the requestor. You can edit some parts of the response (for example, by adding some custom HTTP headers).

You can use this method with or without the [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-samlspserver-class).

# ProcessLogoutRequest Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Processes logout request received from the IdP service at one of the SLS endpoints.

## Syntax

```text
public int processLogoutRequest(long connectionID, String sessionID, String request, String tag);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to pass a SAML logout request received at one of the SingleLogoutService endpoints.

An SLS endpoint may receive requests of two kinds: LogoutRequest and LogoutResponse. If *Request* contains a LogoutRequest, the content generated by this method will contain a corresponding LogoutResponse. If *Request* contains a LogoutResponse, the generated content is empty.

This method returns the processing result as one of the values given below. Right before it returns it passes the processing results back to the caller via the [ProcessingCompleted](#processingcompleted-event-samlspserver-class) event. This event fires independently of the processing outcome (success or failure), and contains the same *ConnectionID* that is passed to this call.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| sprUnknown | 0 | Unknown or undefined processing result |
| sprSuccess | 1 | The processing completed successfully. No tangible output has been generated (e.g. an artifact was resolved and acknowledged, but nothing needs to be sent to the browser). |
| sprSAMLMessage | 2 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party. |
| sprSignOnPage | 3 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains or redirects to a SAML login page. |
| sprResource | 4 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains, or redirects to, a generic web resource. |
| sprSAMLError | 5 | The processing failed due to SAML-related issue (bad sign-on parameters, unknown principal etc.). The output contains a SAML error message. This still needs to be relayed to the other SAML party. |
| sprTransportError | 6 | The operation could not be completed due to an issue with configuration (e.g. non-existent SAML endpoint), permissions, or network. The SAML protocol could not commence. The output contains a transport-layer (HTTP) error message which can/should be displayed to the user in the browser. |

You can use this method with or without the [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-samlspserver-class).

# Reset Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Resets the class settings.

## Syntax

```text
public void reset();
```

## Remarks

Reset is a generic method available in every class.

# SetClientBuffer Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Commits a data buffer to the connection.

## Syntax

```text
public void setClientBuffer(long connectionID, String handle, byte[] value);
```

## Remarks

Use this method from your ReadFile event handler to commit a chunk of file data to the server component.

# SetProviderProperty Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Sets the value of a custom provider property.

## Syntax

```text
public void setProviderProperty(String name, String value);
```

## Remarks

This method, together with [GetProviderProperty](#getproviderproperty-method-samlspserver-class), provides an extensible way of managing the Service Provider's settings that are not available through the primary properties of the component. As SAML usage scenarios evolve and new providers appear, the list of supported properties can be extended.

The following properties are currently supported:

- ContactPerson
- OrganizationName
- OrganizationDisplayName
- OrganizationURL
- OrganizationLang

# SetResponseHeader Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Sets a response header.

## Syntax

```text
public void setResponseHeader(long connectionId, String headerName, String value);
```

## Remarks

Use this method to set a response header. A good place to call this method is a request-marking event, such as GetRequest or PostRequest.

# SetSessionProperty Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Sets the value of a custom provider session property.

## Syntax

```text
public void setSessionProperty(String sessionID, String name, String value);
```

## Remarks

This method, together with [GetSessionProperty](#getsessionproperty-method-samlspserver-class), provides an extensible way of managing the Service Provider's session settings that are not available through the primary properties and events of the component.

The following properties can be adjusted for each individual session:

- AuthnRequestID: the AuthnRequest ID.
- LogoutRequestID: the LogoutRequest ID.
- NameID: the NameID of the user.
- RelayState: the current (last) relay state entry.
- Session: the session ID (the same as you pass as parameter).
- SAMLSession: the browser cookie that corresponds to the session.
- SessionIndex: a collection of cross-network session indexes assigned to this session.
- URL: the current request's URL.
- UserData: the protocol-independent user data. Use this session property to store custom information associated with the session across contexts.
- Expires: the web session expiration time. Set it to a moment in the past to enforce immediate session expiration.

Note: setting a session property invokes a call to [SessionStateSave](#sessionstatesave-event-samlspserver-class). The component does that to update the session state kept externally.

Note: changing session properties mindlessly may break the protocol flow. For example, changing *AuthnRequestID* to a different value may cause the Service Provider to reject the subsequent assertion message, as the incoming assertion will contain a now-unmatching In-Response-To entry.

# Start Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Starts the SP server.

## Syntax

```text
public void start();
```

## Remarks

Use this method to start listening for incoming connections.

# Stop Method ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Stops the IdP server.

## Syntax

```text
public void stop();
```

## Remarks

Call this method to stop listening for incoming connections.

# Accept Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Reports an incoming connection.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void accept(SAMLSPServerAcceptEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerAcceptEvent {
  public String remoteAddress;
  public int remotePort;
  public boolean accept; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

This event is fired when a new connection from *RemoteAddress*:*RemotePort* is ready to be accepted. Use the *Accept* parameter to accept or decline it.

Subscribe to [Connect](#connect-event-samlspserver-class) event to be notified of every connection that has been set up.

# ArtifactReceived Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

The server fires this event upon receiving an Artifact message from the other side.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void artifactReceived(SAMLSPServerArtifactReceivedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerArtifactReceivedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String issuer;
  public String artifact;
  public int action; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The Artifact message is very simple and only contains the actual artifact (an opaque string). Depending on the choice of the *Action* parameter, the further flow may go as following:

- fraAuto: the server will prepare an ArtifactResolve request and sent it to the other side to retrieve the artifact.
- fraCustom: the server will acknowledge the receipt of the artifact, but it is the task of your code to request the message and pass it on to the server via [ProcessGenericRequest](#processgenericrequest-method-samlspserver-class) method.
- fraReject: the server will discard the artifact.

Note that you still can choose fraAuto to let the server proceed, but alter the flow as required in further events, such as [ArtifactResolveRequestPrepared](#artifactresolverequestprepared-event-samlspserver-class).

In [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-samlspserver-class) this event would typically be fired from [ProcessArtifact](#processartifact-method-samlspserver-class) call.

# ArtifactResolveRequestPrepared Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

This event is fired when a new artifact resolution request message has been prepared by the class.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void artifactResolveRequestPrepared(SAMLSPServerArtifactResolveRequestPreparedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerArtifactResolveRequestPreparedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String destination;
  public String artifact;
}
```

## Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about preparation of artifact resolution requests. This is fired right after the resolution request has been prepared, and just before the component sends it out to the identity provider.

# ArtifactResolveRequestReceived Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Reports receipt of ArtifactResolveRequest message.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void artifactResolveRequestReceived(SAMLSPServerArtifactResolveRequestReceivedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerArtifactResolveRequestReceivedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String issuer;
  public boolean isEncrypted;
  public boolean isSigned;
  public String artifact;
  public int action; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The component fires this event to report receipt of incoming artifact resolution request. The *Artifact* parameter contains the artifact identifier received.

The application can choose to accept or reject the request, or process it manually, using the *Action* parameter:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| fraAuto | 1 | Handle the requested action automatically by the server |
| fraCustom | 2 | Override the action using the user code logic |
| fraAbort | 3 | Abort the requested action |

# AssertionReceived Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

This event is fired when an assertion is received from the IdP.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void assertionReceived(SAMLSPServerAssertionReceivedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerAssertionReceivedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String issuer;
  public String body;
  public boolean isEncrypted;
  public boolean isSigned;
  public String auth;
  public String nameID;
  public String nameIDFormat;
  public String sessionIndex;
  public String attributes;
  public String validFrom;
  public String validTo;
  public String relayState;
  public int action; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The AssertionReceived event notifies the application that an assertion has been received at the ACS endpoint. In [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-samlspserver-class) this event may fire in response to a [ProcessAssertion](#processassertion-method-samlspserver-class) call. In online mode it can fire at any time while the server is active.

The *ConnectionID* and *SessionID* specify the IDs of the current client connection and HTTP session. The *RequestID* contains the ID of the original AuthnRequest message, if it was sent by the service provider. The *IsEncrypted* and *IsSigned* parameters indicate the security properties of the assertion. The *NameID* parameter contains the unique name identifier of the authenticated principal, and the *SessionIndex* contains the SAML session identifier. In rare cases *SessionIndex* may contain multiple indices, if the SP has more than one session at the IdP.

The application can choose to accept or reject the request, or process it manually, using the *Action* parameter:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| fraAuto | 1 | Handle the requested action automatically by the server |
| fraCustom | 2 | Override the action using the user code logic |
| fraAbort | 3 | Abort the requested action |

If the assertion is returned in response to this SP's AuthnRequest message, the *RelayState* parameter will contain the original relay state passed to the earlier [InitiateAuth](#initiateauth-method-samlspserver-class) call.

# AttributeQueryPrepared Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Notifies the application of the preparation of an AttributeQuery.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void attributeQueryPrepared(SAMLSPServerAttributeQueryPreparedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerAttributeQueryPreparedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String destination;
  public String nameID;
  public String nameIDFormat;
  public String attributes;
}
```

## Remarks

The component uses this event to notify the application of the completion of the preparation of the AttributeQuery message. The *NameID* and *NameIDFormat* parameters indicate the attribute subject, and the *Attributes* parameter contains a list of attributes being requested.

This event may be fired in response to a [InitiateAttributeQuery](#initiateattributequery-method-samlspserver-class) call (in offline mode), or intermittently in online mode.

# AuthnRequestPrepared Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

This event is fired when a new authentication request message has been prepared.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void authnRequestPrepared(SAMLSPServerAuthnRequestPreparedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerAuthnRequestPreparedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String destination;
  public String nameIDFormat;
  public boolean forceAuthn;
  public boolean nonInteractive;
  public String relayState; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

Subscribe to this event to get notified about assertion requests prepared by the service provider. This event may fire from [InitiateAuth](#initiateauth-method-samlspserver-class) method when working in [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-samlspserver-class), or at any time when working as a standalone live web server.

You can adjust the *RelayState* as required in the event handler to pass on a state to the IdP. The IdP will return this state back to you together with its authentication assertion.

# Connect Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Reports an accepted connection.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void connect(SAMLSPServerConnectEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerConnectEvent {
  public long connectionId;
  public String remoteAddress;
  public int remotePort;
}
```

## Remarks

The class fires this event to report that a new connection has been established. *ConnectionId* indicates the unique ID assigned to this connection. The same ID will be supplied to any other events related to this connection, such as SessionClosed or SessionEstablished.

# Disconnect Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Fires to report a disconnected client.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void disconnect(SAMLSPServerDisconnectEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerDisconnectEvent {
  public long connectionID;
}
```

## Remarks

The class fires this event when a connected client disconnects.

# Encrypted Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Notifies the application that the assertion is encrypted and provides recipient certificate details.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void encrypted(SAMLSPServerEncryptedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerEncryptedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String issuerRDN;
  public byte[] serialNumber;
  public byte[] subjectKeyID;
  public boolean needCredential;
  public boolean skipThis; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The class fires this event when processing encrypted documents to report the fact of encryption and pass certificate parameters to the user.

This event fires repeatedly for each encryption mechanism used in the document until the user provides the correct credential via the [DecryptionCertificate](#decryptioncertificate-property-samlspserver-class) property (depending on encryption method used), or sets *SkipThis* to true.

The *IssuerRDN*, *SerialNumber*, and *SubjectKeyID* parameters provide the details of the encryption certificate. Note that the document can be encrypted with more than one certificate (or have "more than one recipient"), in which case each certificate will invoke its own OnEncrypted event loop.

The *NeedCredential* parameter specifies whether the correct credential is already available to the class or still needs to be set. One example where *NeedCredential* would be set to false is where it had been provided by the application prior to processing the document (e.g. by setting the [DecryptionCertificate](#decryptioncertificate-property-samlspserver-class) property to a known pre-defined value). If *NeedCredential* is set to true, you must provide the valid credential for the decryption process to succeed.

# Error Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Information about errors during data delivery.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void error(SAMLSPServerErrorEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerErrorEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public int errorCode;
  public boolean fatal;
  public boolean remote;
  public String description;
}
```

## Remarks

The event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.

*ErrorCode* contains an error code and *Description* contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the section.

# ExternalSign Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Handles remote or external signing initiated by the server protocol.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void externalSign(SAMLSPServerExternalSignEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerExternalSignEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String operationId;
  public String hashAlgorithm;
  public String pars;
  public String data;
  public String signedData; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

Assign a handler to this event if you need to delegate a low-level signing operation to an external, remote, or custom signing engine. Depending on the settings, the handler will receive a hashed or unhashed value to be signed.

The event handler must pass the value of *Data* to the signer, obtain the signature, and pass it back to the class via the *SignedData* parameter.

*OperationId* provides a comment about the operation and its origin. It depends on the exact class being used, and may be empty. *HashAlgorithm* specifies the hash algorithm being used for the operation, and *Pars* contains algorithm-dependent parameters.

The class uses base16 (hex) encoding for the *Data*, *SignedData*, and *Pars* parameters. If your signing engine uses a different input and output encoding, you may need to decode and/or encode the data before and/or after the signing.

A sample MD5 hash encoded in base16: a0dee2a0382afbb09120ffa7ccd8a152 - lower case base16 A0DEE2A0382AFBB09120FFA7CCD8A152 - upper case base16

A sample event handler that uses the .NET RSACryptoServiceProvider class may look like the following:

```text
signer.OnExternalSign += (s, e) =>
{
       var cert = new X509Certificate2("cert.pfx", "", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);
       var key = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)cert.PrivateKey;

       var dataToSign = e.Data.FromBase16String();
       var signedData = key.SignHash(dataToSign, "2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1");
       e.SignedData = signedData.ToBase16String();
};
```

# LogoutRequestPrepared Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

This event is fired when a new logout request has been prepared.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void logoutRequestPrepared(SAMLSPServerLogoutRequestPreparedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerLogoutRequestPreparedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String destination;
  public String nameID;
  public String nameIDFormat;
  public String sessionIndex;
  public String relayState; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The component uses this event to report completion of the LogoutRequest preparation. The *NameID*, *NameIDFormat*, and *SessionIndex* parameters indicate the subject that is being logged out. The *SP* parameter references the service provider involved.

The *RelayState* contains the relay state value that is going to be passed with the LogoutRequest to the remote party and mirrored back (if the protocol supports it).

# LogoutRequestReceived Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

The class uses this event to notify the application about an incoming SAML Logout Request message.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void logoutRequestReceived(SAMLSPServerLogoutRequestReceivedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerLogoutRequestReceivedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;

  public String issuer;
  public boolean isEncrypted;
  public boolean isSigned;
  public String nameID;
  public String nameIDFormat;
  public String sessionIndex;
  public int action; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The SAML SP server fires this event when a SAML logout request is received at a single logout service endpoint. The *NameID*, *NameIDFormat*, and *SessionIndex* parameters indicate the principal that is signing out.

The application can choose to accept or reject the request, or process it manually, using the *Action* parameter:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| fraAuto | 1 | Handle the requested action automatically by the server |
| fraCustom | 2 | Override the action using the user code logic |
| fraAbort | 3 | Abort the requested action |

  public boolean isSigned;
  public String nameID;
  public String nameIDFormat;
  public String sessionIndex;
  public String relayState;
  public int action; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The SAML SP server fires this event when a SAML logout response is received at a single logout service endpoint following the LogoutRequest sent earlier. The *RelayState* is a mirrored back value included in the request.

The *NameID*, *NameIDFormat*, and *SessionIndex* parameters indicate the principal that is signing out.

The application can choose to accept or reject the request, or process it manually, using the *Action* parameter:

# Notification Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

This event notifies the application about an underlying control flow event.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void notification(SAMLSPServerNotificationEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerNotificationEvent {
  public String eventID;
  public String eventParam;
}
```

## Remarks

The class fires this event to let the application know about some event, occurrence, or milestone in the class. For example, it may fire to report completion of the document processing. The list of events being reported is not fixed, and may be flexibly extended over time.

The unique identifier of the event is provided in the *EventID* parameter. *EventParam* contains any parameters accompanying the occurrence. Depending on the type of the class, the exact action it is performing, or the document being processed, one or both may be omitted.

This class can fire this event with the following *EventID* values:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| SAMLResponderError | TBD |
| SAMLSessionLogout | TBD |
| ListeningStarted | Notifies the application that the server has started listening for incoming connections. |
| ListeningStopped | Notifies the application that the server has stopped listening to incoming connections. |

# ProcessingCompleted Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

This event notifies the application of the completion of request or response processing.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void processingCompleted(SAMLSPServerProcessingCompletedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerProcessingCompletedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String tag;
  public int processingResult;
  public String response;
  public boolean redirect;
}
```

## Remarks

The component fires ProcessingCompleted to notify the application about completion of an earlier initiated processing operation. It is only fired in [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-samlspserver-class) in response to calls such as [ProcessAssertion](#processassertion-method-samlspserver-class), [ProcessLogoutRequest](#processlogoutrequest-method-samlspserver-class), or similar. The main purpose of this event is to notify the application of the outcomes of the processing and return any prepared SAML entity for subsequent relay to the browser.

This event is fired strictly once for each Process* call, with the *ConnectionID* matching the value passed to the Process* method.

The *SessionID* parameter contains the identifier of the current virtual session. It may differ to the value passed to the Process* method if the session information was provided on the fly via the [SessionInfoNeeded](#sessioninfoneeded-event-samlspserver-class) event. The *ProcessingResult* indicates the type of deliverable that was created during the processing (see below for possible values). The *Response* parameter contains the body of the deliverable. This can take one of the forms:

- a self-submitting form containing a SAML message.
- a redirect URL.
- a SOAP XML response.
- an empty string if ProcessingResult is set to sprSuccess.

The *Redirect* parameter indicates whether the value of *Response* should be passed to the browser within the 302 Location header, or as a document body.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| sprUnknown | 0 | Unknown or undefined processing result |
| sprSuccess | 1 | The processing completed successfully. No tangible output has been generated (e.g. an artifact was resolved and acknowledged, but nothing needs to be sent to the browser). |
| sprSAMLMessage | 2 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party. |
| sprSignOnPage | 3 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains or redirects to a SAML login page. |
| sprResource | 4 | The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains, or redirects to, a generic web resource. |
| sprSAMLError | 5 | The processing failed due to SAML-related issue (bad sign-on parameters, unknown principal etc.). The output contains a SAML error message. This still needs to be relayed to the other SAML party. |
| sprTransportError | 6 | The operation could not be completed due to an issue with configuration (e.g. non-existent SAML endpoint), permissions, or network. The SAML protocol could not commence. The output contains a transport-layer (HTTP) error message which can/should be displayed to the user in the browser. |

# ReadArtifact Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Requests content identified by an artifact from the application.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void readArtifact(SAMLSPServerReadArtifactEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerReadArtifactEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String issuer;
  public String artifact;
  public String value; //read-write
  public boolean skip; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The component fires this event to request the content matching *Artifact* from the application. This is normally happens within the artifact resolution protocol between the SP and the IdP server.

The application must provide the requested artifact content via the *Value* parameter. The application can choose not to provide the artifact content (for example, if it doesn't have it) by setting *Skip* to true.

# ResourceClose Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Tells the application that it can close the opened resource.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void resourceClose(SAMLSPServerResourceCloseEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerResourceCloseEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String handle;
}
```

## Remarks

The class uses this event to notify the application that it can now close the resource opened earlier in its [ResourceOpen](#resourceopen-event-samlspserver-class) handler.

# ResourceOpen Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Requests the application to open the requested resource.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void resourceOpen(SAMLSPServerResourceOpenEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerResourceOpenEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String URL;
  public String httpMethod;
  public int operationStatus; //read-write
  public String handle; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The class fires this event in virtualized mode if the application had returned the *fraCustom* modifier from the earlier [ResourceRequest](#resourcerequest-event-samlspserver-class) event call. Your code is expected to open the requested resource and be prepared to read from it in subsequent [ResourceRead](#resourceread-event-samlspserver-class) event calls. Check the operation status, and alter it, if needed, through the *OperationStatus* parameter:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ostOk | 1 |  |
| ostNoSuchFile | 2 |  |
| ostAccessDenied | 3 |  |
| ostWriteProtect | 4 |  |
| ostUnsupported | 5 |  |
| ostInvalidParameter | 6 |  |
| ostEOF | 7 |  |

# ResourceRead Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Requests the application to read from an opened resource.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void resourceRead(SAMLSPServerResourceReadEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerResourceReadEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String handle;
  public int size;
  public int operationStatus; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The class fires this event in virtualized mode to request another chunk of data from the resource opened earlier. The handler of this event should read up to *Size* bytes from the object, and pass them to the component with a [SetClientBuffer](#setclientbuffer-method-samlspserver-class) call.

Use the *OperationStatus* parameter to return the operation result back to the server. When the file has been read up to its end, set *OperationStatus* to ostEOF to tell the components that no more ResourceRead calls are needed.

Set *OperationStatus* to one of the following values:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ostOk | 1 |  |
| ostNoSuchFile | 2 |  |
| ostAccessDenied | 3 |  |
| ostWriteProtect | 4 |  |
| ostUnsupported | 5 |  |
| ostInvalidParameter | 6 |  |
| ostEOF | 7 |  |

# ResourceRequest Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Notifies the application that a server resource is requested.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void resourceRequest(SAMLSPServerResourceRequestEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerResourceRequestEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String URL;
  public String httpMethod;
  public boolean resProtected; //read-write
  public boolean resSpecial; //read-write
  public boolean allowWriting; //read-write
  public int action; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The class uses this event to notify the application that the connection has requested a server resource.

The *URL* parameter specifies the resource requested. *ResProtected* is set to true if the resource is protected by SAML. *ResSpecial* is set to true if the request is a SAML resource, such as the metadata or an Assertion Consumer Service page. *ConnectionID* identifies the connected client.

Set *Action* to [fraAuto](constants.md#const_fraAuto) to let the server handle the request automatically, or to fraCustom to handle the request in your code ('virtualize' the request).

Choose *Action* as one of the following values:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| fraAuto | 1 | Handle the requested action automatically by the server |
| fraCustom | 2 | Override the action using the user code logic |
| fraAbort | 3 | Abort the requested action |

# ResourceWrite Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Requests the application to write to an opened resource.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void resourceWrite(SAMLSPServerResourceWriteEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerResourceWriteEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String handle;
  public int operationStatus; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The class fires this event in virtualized mode to pass another chunk of data to a resource opened earlier. This event is called for write-enabled requests, such as POST or PUT. The handler of this event should read the pending data using the [GetClientBuffer](#getclientbuffer-method-samlspserver-class) method and write them to the opened file descriptor.

Use the *OperationStatus* parameter to return the operation result back to the server:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ostOk | 1 |  |
| ostNoSuchFile | 2 |  |
| ostAccessDenied | 3 |  |
| ostWriteProtect | 4 |  |
| ostUnsupported | 5 |  |
| ostInvalidParameter | 6 |  |
| ostEOF | 7 |  |

# SAMLMessagePrepared Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

This event is fired when a SAML message has been prepared and is ready to be dispatched.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void SAMLMessagePrepared(SAMLSPServerSAMLMessagePreparedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSAMLMessagePreparedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String messageID;
  public String destination;
  public String issueInstant;
  public String inResponseTo;
  public String requestBody;
  public String messageType;
  public String messageBody; //read-write
  public String relayState; //read-write
  public boolean success; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about every SAML message that has been prepared by the server. This event is fired for every type of the outgoing message (e.g. SAMLResponse or LogoutRequest). The *InResponseTo* contains the ID of the message in response to which the current message is sent (if applicable). The *RequestBody* parameter contains the body of such request.

The *MessageType* parameter indicates the type of the message that has been prepared, such as SAMLResponse. The *MessageBody* contains the XML body of the message. The *Success* parameter indicates whether the message contains a positive statement or an error. Both the *MessageBody* and *Success* parameters are adjustable.

# SAMLMessageReceived Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

The server fires this event for every SAML message it receives.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void SAMLMessageReceived(SAMLSPServerSAMLMessageReceivedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSAMLMessageReceivedEvent {

The *MessageType*, *MessageID*, *Issuer*, and *MessageBody* parameters provide the details of the message received. The *RequestBody* and *InResponseTo* contain a reference to the request that this message is a response to (if any).

Set Action property as required to let the component know how to proceed.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| fraAuto | 1 | Handle the requested action automatically by the server |
| fraCustom | 2 | Override the action using the user code logic |
| fraAbort | 3 | Abort the requested action |

# SessionCreated Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

This event is fired when a new session has been established.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void sessionCreated(SAMLSPServerSessionCreatedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSessionCreatedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
}
```

## Remarks

*ConnectionID* contains the identifier of the new session, *SessionID* specifies the ID of the new session.

# SessionDestroyed Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

This event is fired when the SP server has closed a session.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void sessionDestroyed(SAMLSPServerSessionDestroyedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSessionDestroyedEvent {

  ...
  public void sessionEvent(SAMLSPServerSessionEventEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSessionEventEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String eventText;
}
```

## Remarks

class uses this event to notify your code about events that happen within the lifeline of a SAML session. Handling it may be useful for development, logging, and monitoring purposes.

The *SessionID* parameter specifies the session ID, and the *EventText* parameter describes the event that happened. Below are a few typical examples of what *EventText* you can expect to get:

- Start
- AuthnRequestPrepared
- ResponseReceived
- ResourceSupplied
- LogoutRequestPrepared
- LogoutResponseReceived
- LogoutRequestReceived
- LogoutResponsePrepared
- ArtifactResolveRequestReceived
- ArtifactResponsePrepared
- Finish

# SessionInfoNeeded Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

This event is fired in OfflineMode to request the session ID for the current flow.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void sessionInfoNeeded(SAMLSPServerSessionInfoNeededEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSessionInfoNeededEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

SAML protocol is stateful, which means that SAML services need to keep session-related information between connections. When used in online mode - where the components listen and serve connections automatically - the components can use HTTP cookies to track connecting clients and maintain the session store at the background. However, when used in offline mode, the components do not have access to the HTTP layer and live too short for the session store to survive. That is why in offline mode the components rely on the application code to keep the session information for them.

The components use a collection of Session* events to exchange session information with the application:

- [SessionCreated](#sessioncreated-event-samlspserver-class) is called when the component establishes a new session. In offline mode, the application should associate the session ID with the connected user, for example by returning it as a cookie.
- [SessionStateSave](#sessionstatesave-event-samlspserver-class) : the component passes the session state to the application and expects that the application saves it somewhere to return it back to the component at its request at some point in the future. The session state is an opaque string. The application can use a hash table to store a collection of (SessionID, SessionState) pairs over the lifetime of the SAML service. The server may fire [SessionStateSave](#sessionstatesave-event-samlspserver-class) multiple times for the same SessionID. If this happens, the existing SessionID entry should be overwritten with the fresh session data.
- [SessionStateRetrieve](#sessionstateretrieve-event-samlspserver-class) : the component passes a session ID to the application and expects it to return the session state saved in the hash table earlier. The application should not delete the state from the hash table, as it may be needed again.
- SessionInfoNeeded (this event): the component expects the application to return the session ID corresponding to the connection ID back to them. This event fires, for example, if the application calls [ProcessLogoutRequest](#processlogoutrequest-method-samlspserver-class) but passes an empty SessionID as a parameter.
- [SessionDestroyed](#sessiondestroyed-event-samlspserver-class) is called when a session is destroyed. The component can remove the session from the hash table upon receiving this event.

# SessionStateRetrieve Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

This event fires to retrieve session state information from the application.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void sessionStateRetrieve(SAMLSPServerSessionStateRetrieveEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSessionStateRetrieveEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String sessionState; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The component fires this event to request a session state that was previously provided to the application via the [SessionStateSave](#sessionstatesave-event-samlspserver-class) call.

See the [SessionInfoNeeded](#sessioninfoneeded-event-samlspserver-class) topic for more details about session management in offline mode.

# SessionStateSave Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

This event passes a session state object to the application for safekeeping.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void sessionStateSave(SAMLSPServerSessionStateSaveEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSessionStateSaveEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String sessionState;
}
```

## Remarks

The component fires this event to pass a session state to the application. The application is expected to save the state object (which is an opaque string) in a hash table, and be ready to return it back to the component when it requests it using a [SessionStateRetrieve](#sessionstateretrieve-event-samlspserver-class) call.

See the [SessionInfoNeeded](#sessioninfoneeded-event-samlspserver-class) topic for more details about session management in offline mode.

# SignatureFound Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Signifies the start of signature validation.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void signatureFound(SAMLSPServerSignatureFoundEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSignatureFoundEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public int scope;
  public String signer;
  public String targetID;
  public String targetType;
  public String issuerRDN;
  public byte[] serialNumber;
  public byte[] subjectKeyID;
  public String sigMethod;
  public String digestMethod;
  public boolean certFound;
  public boolean validate; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

This event tells the application that signature validation is about to start, and provides the details about the signer's certificate via its *IssuerRDN*, *SerialNumber*, and *SubjectKeyID* parameters. It fires for every signature located in the verified message.

The *Scope* parameter specifies the subject of the signature. This can be the outermost SAML message or an embedded assertion.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| sssUnknown | 0 | The scope of signature is unknown |
| sssMessage | 1 | The signature covers the entire SAML message |
| sssAssertion | 2 | The signature covers an assertion |
| sssBinding | 3 | The signature covers the binding |

The details of the reported signature are populated in the [Security](#security-property-samlspserver-class) object. For assertion signatures, you can update the details by pinning the assertion.

The *CertFound* is set to True if the class has found the needed certificate in one of the known locations, and to False otherwise, in which case you must provide it manually via KnownCertificates property.

Signature validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. SAMLReader only supports signature validation. To validate the chain, grab the signing certificate from the [SigningCertificate](#signingcertificate-property-samlspserver-class) property and the associated certificates from the Certificates collection, and pass them to the [CertificateValidator](CertificateValidator.md#CertificateValidator) component to validate its chain.

Use the *Validate* parameter to tell the reader whether it should validate the signature.

# SignatureValidated Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Reports the signature validation result.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void signatureValidated(SAMLSPServerSignatureValidatedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSignatureValidatedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public int scope;
  public String signer;
  public String targetID;
  public String targetType;
  public String issuerRDN;
  public byte[] serialNumber;
  public byte[] subjectKeyID;
  public String sigMethod;
  public String digestMethod;
  public int validationResult; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

This event is fired when the complete XML signature validation process is finished.

The *Scope* parameter specifies the subject of the signature. This can be the outermost SAML message or an embedded assertion.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| sssUnknown | 0 | The scope of signature is unknown |
| sssMessage | 1 | The signature covers the entire SAML message |
| sssAssertion | 2 | The signature covers an assertion |
| sssBinding | 3 | The signature covers the binding |

 *IssuerRDN* returns the name of the signature issuer, *SerialNumber* identifies the signing certificate, *SubjectKeyID* contains the key identifier (SecureBlackbox uses SHA-1 hash algorithm output as key identifiers). Finally, *ValidationResult* specifies whether signature is valid or not:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| svtValid | 0 | The signature is valid |

# TLSCertValidate Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Fires when a client certificate needs to be validated.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void TLSCertValidate(SAMLSPServerTLSCertValidateEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerTLSCertValidateEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public boolean accept; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The class fires this event to notify the application of an authenticating client. Use the event handler to validate the certificate and pass your decision back to the server component via the *Accept* parameter.

# TLSEstablished Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Reports the setup of a TLS session.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void TLSEstablished(SAMLSPServerTLSEstablishedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerTLSEstablishedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
}
```

## Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about the setup of a TLS connection by a connected client.

# TLSHandshake Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Fires when a newly established client connection initiates a TLS handshake.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void TLSHandshake(SAMLSPServerTLSHandshakeEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerTLSHandshakeEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String serverName;
  public boolean abort; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

Use this event to get notified about the initiation of the TLS handshake by the remote client. The *ServerName* parameter specifies the requested host from the client hello message.

# TLSPSK Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Requests a pre-shared key for TLS-PSK.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void TLSPSK(SAMLSPServerTLSPSKEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerTLSPSKEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String identity;
  public String PSK; //read-write
  public String ciphersuite; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The class fires this event to report that a client has requested a TLS-PSK negotiation. *ConnectionId* indicates the unique connection ID that requested the PSK handshake.

Use *Identity* to look up for the corresponding pre-shared key in the server's database, then assign the key to the *PSK* parameter. If TLS 1.3 PSK is used, you will also need to assign the *Ciphersuite* parameter with the cipher suite associated with that identity and their key.

# TLSShutdown Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Reports closure of a TLS session.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void TLSShutdown(SAMLSPServerTLSShutdownEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerTLSShutdownEvent {
  public long connectionID;
}
```

## Remarks

The class fires this event when a connected client closes their TLS session gracefully. This event is typically followed by a [Disconnect](#disconnect-event-samlspserver-class), which marks the closure of the underlying TCP session.

# UserAuthCompleted Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Notifies the application about the success of user authentication flow.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void userAuthCompleted(SAMLSPServerUserAuthCompletedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerUserAuthCompletedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String assertionBody;
  public String auth;
  public String nameID;
  public String nameIDFormat;
  public String sessionIndex;
  public String validFrom;
  public String validTo;
  public String relayState;
}
```

## Remarks

Subscribe to this event to get notified about completion of user authentication flow. The *NameID*, *NameIDFormat*, *SessionIndex*, *ValidFrom*, and *ValidTo* parameters contain the session parameters as stated in the assertion, which is provided via the *AssertionBody* parameter. The *Auth* parameter contain the authentication mechanism used.

The *RelayState* matches the original relay state that was used on the initiation stage of the authentication.

# UserAuthFailed Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Notifies the application about failure of user authentication flow.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void userAuthFailed(SAMLSPServerUserAuthFailedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerUserAuthFailedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String relayState;
}
```

## Remarks

The component fires this event to notify the application about failed user authentication flow. The *RelayState* parameter matches the one included with the AuthnRequest message.

# UserAuthStart Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Notifies the application about the start of user authentication flow.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void userAuthStart(SAMLSPServerUserAuthStartEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerUserAuthStartEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public int idPServiceIndex;
  public String relayState; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

The component invokes this event to signal the start of the user authentication flow. This happens shortly before the component proceeds to generation of AuthnRequest message.

The *RelayState* is an arbitrary string that will be passed to the IdP and mirrored back with the assertion. It is typically used to remember the URL of the resource or page that kicked in the SAML authentication flow.

# UserLogoutCompleted Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Notifies the application about the completion of user logout flow.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void userLogoutCompleted(SAMLSPServerUserLogoutCompletedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerUserLogoutCompletedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String nameID;
  public String sessionIndex;
  public String relayState;
}
```

## Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about the completion of the logout flow.

# UserLogoutStart Event ([SAMLSPServer](#samlspserver-class) Class)

Notifies the application about the start of user logout flow.

## Syntax

```text
public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void userLogoutStart(SAMLSPServerUserLogoutStartEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerUserLogoutStartEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public int idPServiceIndex;
  public String nameID;
  public String sessionIndex;
  public boolean secondary;
  public String relayState; //read-write
}
```

## Remarks

Subscribe to this event to get notified about the start of the user logout flow.

The logout process can be initiated on either the SP or IdP side. This event is fired at the earliest opportunity that this fact becomes known to the service provider: from within the [InitiateLogout](#initiatelogout-method-samlspserver-class) method, [ProcessLogoutRequest](#processlogoutrequest-method-samlspserver-class) method, or upon receiving a logout request at the SLS endpoint.

Independently of the timing and the stage of this event, the subsequent flow is the same: the logout protocol is initiated. The application will be notified of the completion of the protocol using the [UserLogoutCompleted](#userlogoutcompleted-event-samlspserver-class) event. Note that the [UserLogoutCompleted](#userlogoutcompleted-event-samlspserver-class) event may not fire if the connectivity to the IdP is lost prematurely or the IdP chooses not to respond. Due to that, it is reasonable to consider the user as logged out immediately after the current event fires.

The *IdPServiceIndex* parameter contains the index of the IdP service in the [IdPServices](#idpservices-property-samlspserver-class) collection. *NameID* indicates the name identifier of the user that is being logged out, and *SessionIndex* contain the unique SAML session identifier. The *Secondary* flag indicates whether the the SP is responding to IdP-initiated logout request.

The *RelayState* parameter is an optional SP-generated token that the IdP will return back in its LogoutResponse message. This is often set to the destination page where the browser should be redirected upon completion of the signout process.

## Fields

 **Bytes** *byte[] (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

 **CA** *boolean*
*Default Value: False*

Indicates whether the certificate has a CA capability. For the certificate to be considered a CA, it must have its Basic Constraints extension set with the CA indicator enabled.

Set this field when generating a new certificate to have its Basic Constraints extension generated automatically.

 **CAKeyID** *byte[] (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

A unique identifier (fingerprint) of the CA certificate's cryptographic key.

Authority Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows identification of certificates belonging to the same issuer, but with different public keys. It is a de-facto standard to include this extension in all certificates to facilitate chain building.

This setting cannot be set when generating a certificate as it always derives from another certificate property. [CertificateManager](CertificateManager.md#CertificateManager) generates this setting automatically if enough information is available to it: for self-signed certificates, this value is copied from the [SubjectKeyID](#Certificate_f_SubjectKeyID) setting, and for lower-level certificates, from the parent certificate's subject key ID extension.

 **CertType** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

Returns the type of the entity contained in the [Certificate](#certificate-type) object.

A [Certificate](#certificate-type) object can contain two types of cryptographic objects: a ready-to-use X.509 certificate, or a certificate request ("an unsigned certificate"). Certificate requests can be upgraded to full certificates by signing them with a CA certificate.

Use the [CertificateManager](CertificateManager.md#CertificateManager) class to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.

 **CRLDistributionPoints** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Contains a list of locations of CRL distribution points used to check this certificate's validity. The list is taken from the respective certificate extension.

Use this field when generating a certificate to provide a list of CRL endpoints that should be made part of the new certificate.

The endpoints are provided as a list of CRLF-separated URLs. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the location separator.

 **Curve** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Specifies the elliptic curve associated with the certificate's public key. This setting only applies to certificates containing EC keys.

 **Fingerprint** *String (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this certificate.

While there is no formal standard defining what a fingerprint is, a SHA1 hash of the certificate's DER-encoded body is typically used.

 **FriendlyName** *String (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

Contains an associated alias (friendly name) of the certificate. The friendly name is not a property of a certificate: it is maintained by the certificate media rather than being included in its DER representation. Windows certificate stores are one example of media that does support friendly names.

 **HashAlgorithm** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Provides means to set the hash algorithm to be used in the subsequent operation on the certificate (such as generation or key signing). It is not a property of a certificate; use [SigAlgorithm](#Certificate_f_SigAlgorithm) to find out the hash algorithm that is part of the certificate signature.

 **Issuer** *String (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The common name of the certificate issuer (CA), typically a company name. This is part of a larger set of credentials available via [IssuerRDN](#Certificate_f_IssuerRDN).

 **IssuerRDN** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

A list of *Property=Value* pairs that uniquely identify the certificate issuer.

Example: */C=US/O=Nationwide CA/CN=Web Certification Authority*

 **KeyAlgorithm** *String*
*Default Value: "0"*

Specifies the public key algorithm of this certificate.

Use the [KeyBits](#Certificate_f_KeyBits), [Curve](#Certificate_f_Curve), and [PublicKeyBytes](#Certificate_f_PublicKeyBytes) fields to get more details about the key the certificate contains.

 **KeyBits** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

Returns the length of the public key in bits.

This value indicates the length of the principal cryptographic parameter of the key, such as the length of the RSA modulus or ECDSA field. The key data returned by the [PublicKeyBytes](#Certificate_f_PublicKeyBytes) or [PrivateKeyBytes](#Certificate_f_PrivateKeyBytes) field would typically contain auxiliary values, and therefore be longer.

 **KeyFingerprint** *String (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

Returns a SHA1 fingerprint of the public key contained in the certificate.

Note that the key fingerprint is different from the certificate fingerprint accessible via the [Fingerprint](#Certificate_f_Fingerprint) field. The key fingerprint uniquely identifies the public key, and so can be the same for multiple certificates containing the same key.

 **KeyUsage** *int*
*Default Value: 0*

Indicates the purposes of the key contained in the certificate, in the form of an OR'ed flag set.

This value is a bit mask of the following values:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ckuUnknown | 0x00000 | Unknown key usage |
| ckuDigitalSignature | 0x00001 | Digital signature |
| ckuNonRepudiation | 0x00002 | Non-repudiation |
| ckuKeyEncipherment | 0x00004 | Key encipherment |
| ckuDataEncipherment | 0x00008 | Data encipherment |
| ckuKeyAgreement | 0x00010 | Key agreement |
| ckuKeyCertSign | 0x00020 | Certificate signing |
| ckuCRLSign | 0x00040 | Revocation signing |
| ckuEncipherOnly | 0x00080 | Encipher only |
| ckuDecipherOnly | 0x00100 | Decipher only |
| ckuServerAuthentication | 0x00200 | Server authentication |
| ckuClientAuthentication | 0x00400 | Client authentication |
| ckuCodeSigning | 0x00800 | Code signing |
| ckuEmailProtection | 0x01000 | Email protection |
| ckuTimeStamping | 0x02000 | Timestamping |
| ckuOCSPSigning | 0x04000 | OCSP signing |
| ckuSmartCardLogon | 0x08000 | Smartcard logon |
| ckuKeyPurposeClientAuth | 0x10000 | Kerberos - client authentication |
| ckuKeyPurposeKDC | 0x20000 | Kerberos - KDC |

Set this field before generating the certificate to propagate the key usage flags to the new certificate.

 **KeyValid** *boolean (read-only)*
*Default Value: False*

Returns *True* if the certificate's key is cryptographically valid, and *False* otherwise.

 **OCSPLocations** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Locations of OCSP services that can be used to check this certificate's validity in real time, as recorded by the CA.

Set this field before calling the certificate manager's [Generate](CertificateManager.md#CertificateManager_m_Generate) method to propagate it to the new certificate.

The OCSP locations are provided as a list of CRLF-separated URLs. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the location separator.

 **OCSPNoCheck** *boolean*
*Default Value: False*

Accessor to the value of the certificate's ocsp-no-check extension.

 **Origin** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

Returns the location that the certificate was taken or loaded from.

 **PolicyIDs** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Contains identifiers (OIDs) of the applicable certificate policies.

The Certificate Policies extension identifies a sequence of policies under which the certificate has been issued, and which regulate its usage.

Set this field when generating a certificate to propagate the policies information to the new certificate.

The policies are provided as a list of CRLF-separated entries. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the policy element separator.

 **PrivateKeyBytes** *byte[] (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

Returns the certificate's private key in DER-encoded format. It is normal for this field to be empty if the private key is non-exportable, which, for example, is typical for certificates originating from hardware security devices.

 **PrivateKeyExists** *boolean (read-only)*
*Default Value: False*

Indicates whether the certificate has a usable private key associated with it. If it is set to *True*, the certificate can be used for private key operations, such as signing or decryption.

This field is independent from [PrivateKeyBytes](#Certificate_f_PrivateKeyBytes), and can be set to *True* even if the former is empty. This would imply that the private key is non-exportable, but still can be used for cryptographic operations.

 **PrivateKeyExtractable** *boolean (read-only)*
*Default Value: False*

Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).

 **PublicKeyBytes** *byte[] (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

Contains the certificate's public key in DER format.

This typically would contain an ASN.1-encoded public key value. The exact format depends on the type of the public key contained in the certificate.

 **Qualified** *boolean (read-only)*
*Default Value: False*

Indicates whether the certificate is qualified.

This property is set to *True* if the certificate is confirmed by a Trusted List to be qualified.

 **QualifiedStatements** *int*
*Default Value: 0*

Returns a simplified qualified status of the certificate.

 **Qualifiers** *String (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

A list of qualifiers.

Contains a comma-separated list of qualifier aliases for the certificate, for example *QCP-n-qscd,QCWithSSCD*.

 **SelfSigned** *boolean (read-only)*
*Default Value: False*

Indicates whether the certificate is self-signed (root) or signed by an external CA.

 **SerialNumber** *byte[]*
*Default Value: ""*

Returns the certificate's serial number.

The serial number is a binary string that uniquely identifies a certificate among others issued by the same CA. According to the X.509 standard, the (issuer, serial number) pair should be globally unique to facilitate chain building.

 **SigAlgorithm** *String (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

Indicates the algorithm that was used by the CA to sign this certificate.

A signature algorithm typically combines hash and public key algorithms together, such as *sha256WithRSAEncryption* or *ecdsa-with-SHA256*.

 **Source** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

Returns the source (location or disposition) of a cryptographic primitive entity, such as a certificate, CRL, or OCSP response.

 **Subject** *String (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The common name of the certificate holder, typically an individual's name, a URL, an e-mail address, or a company name. This is part of a larger set of credentials available via [SubjectRDN](#Certificate_f_SubjectRDN).

 **SubjectAlternativeName** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Returns or sets the value of the Subject Alternative Name extension of the certificate.

Subject alternative names are used to provide additional names that are impractical to store in the main [SubjectRDN](#Certificate_f_SubjectRDN) field. For example, it is often used to store all the domain names that a TLS certificate is authorized to protect.

The alternative names are provided as a list of CRLF-separated entries. Note that this differs from the behaviour used in earlier product versions, where the "|" character was used as the element separator.

 **SubjectKeyID** *byte[]*
*Default Value: ""*

Contains a unique identifier of the certificate's cryptographic key.

Subject Key Identifier is a certificate extension which allows a specific public key to be associated with a certificate holder. Typically, subject key identifiers of CA certificates are recorded as respective CA key identifiers in the subordinate certificates that they issue, which facilitates chain building.

The [SubjectKeyID](#Certificate_f_SubjectKeyID) and [CAKeyID](#Certificate_f_CAKeyID) fields of self-signed certificates typically contain identical values, as in that specific case, the issuer and the subject are the same entity.

 **SubjectRDN** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

A list of *Property=Value* pairs that uniquely identify the certificate holder (subject).

Depending on the purpose of the certificate and the policies of the CA that issued it, the values included in the subject record may differ drastically and contain business or personal names, web URLs, email addresses, and other data.

Example: */C=US/O=Oranges and Apples, Inc./OU=Accounts Receivable/1.2.3.4.5=Value with unknown OID/CN=Margaret Watkins*.

 **Valid** *boolean (read-only)*
*Default Value: False*

Indicates whether or not the signature over the certificate or the request is valid and matches the public key contained in the CA certificate/request.

 **ValidFrom** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

The time point at which the certificate becomes valid, in UTC.

 **ValidTo** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

The time point at which the certificate expires, in UTC.

 **Bits** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

The length of the key in bits.

 **Curve** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

This property specifies the name of the curve the EC key is built on.

 **Exportable** *boolean (read-only)*
*Default Value: False*

Returns True if the key is exportable (can be serialized into an array of bytes), and False otherwise.

 **Fingerprint** *String (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

Contains the fingerprint (a hash imprint) of this key.

 **ID** *byte[]*
*Default Value: ""*

Provides access to a storage-specific key identifier. Key identifiers are used by cryptographic providers to refer to a particular key and/or distinguish between different keys. They are typically unique within a storage, but there is no guarantee that a particular cryptoprovider will conform to that (or will assign any key IDs at all).

 **IV** *byte[]*
*Default Value: ""*

The initialization vector (IV) of a symmetric key. This is normally a public part of a symmetric key, the idea of which is to introduce randomness to the encrypted data and/or serve as a first block in chaining ciphers.

 **Nonce** *byte[]*
*Default Value: ""*

A nonce value associated with a key. It is similar to IV, but its only purpose is to introduce randomness.

 **Private** *boolean (read-only)*
*Default Value: False*

Returns True if the object hosts a private key, and False otherwise.

 **Public** *boolean (read-only)*
*Default Value: False*

Returns True if the object hosts a public key, and False otherwise.

 **Subject** *byte[]*
*Default Value: ""*

Returns the key subject. This is a cryptoprovider-dependent value, which normally aims to provide some user-friendly insight into the key owner.

 **Symmetric** *boolean (read-only)*
*Default Value: False*

Returns True if the object contains a symmetric key, and False otherwise.

 **Valid** *boolean (read-only)*
*Default Value: False*

Returns True if this key is valid. The term Valid highly depends on the kind of the key being stored. A symmetric key is considered valid if its length fits the algorithm being set. The validity of an RSA key also ensures that the RSA key elements (primes, exponents, and modulus) are consistent.

 **Value** *byte[] (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

The byte array representation of the key value. This may not be available for non-[Exportable](#CryptoKey_f_Exportable) keys.

This property used to be called *Key* in SecureBlackbox versions 2024 and older.

## Constructors

```text
public CryptoKey();
```

 Creates an empty crypto key object.

# ExternalCrypto Type

Specifies the parameters of external cryptographic calls.

## Remarks

External cryptocalls are used in a Distributed Cryptography (DC) subsystem, which allows the delegation of security operations to the remote agent. For instance, it can be used to compute the signature value on the server, while retaining the client's private key locally.

The following fields are available:

- [AsyncDocumentID](#ExternalCrypto_f_AsyncDocumentID)

- [CustomParams](#ExternalCrypto_f_CustomParams)

- [Data](#ExternalCrypto_f_Data)

- [ExternalHashCalculation](#ExternalCrypto_f_ExternalHashCalculation)

- [HashAlgorithm](#ExternalCrypto_f_HashAlgorithm)

- [KeyID](#ExternalCrypto_f_KeyID)

- [KeySecret](#ExternalCrypto_f_KeySecret)

- [Method](#ExternalCrypto_f_Method)

- [Mode](#ExternalCrypto_f_Mode)

- [PublicKeyAlgorithm](#ExternalCrypto_f_PublicKeyAlgorithm)

## Fields

 **AsyncDocumentID** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Specifies an optional document ID for SignAsyncBegin() and SignAsyncEnd() calls.

Use this property when working with multi-signature DCAuth requests and responses to uniquely identify documents signed within a larger batch. On the completion stage, this value helps the signing component identify the correct signature in the returned batch of responses.

If using batched requests, make sure to set this property to the same value on both the pre-signing (SignAsyncBegin) and completion (SignAsyncEnd) stages.

 **CustomParams** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Custom parameters to be passed to the signing service (uninterpreted).

 **Data** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Additional data to be included in the async state and mirrored back by the requestor.

 **ExternalHashCalculation** *boolean*
*Default Value: False*

Specifies whether the message hash is to be calculated at the external endpoint. Please note that this mode is not supported by the DCAuth class.

If set to true, the class will pass a few kilobytes of to-be-signed data from the document to the OnExternalSign event. This only applies when SignExternal() is called.

 **HashAlgorithm** *String*
*Default Value: "SHA256"*

Specifies the request's signature hash algorithm.

 **KeyID** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides an extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of the private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use [KeySecret](#ExternalCrypto_f_KeySecret) to pass the key itself.

The same KeyID/KeySecret pair should be used on the DCAuth side for the signing requests to be accepted.

Note: The KeyID/KeySecret scheme is very similar to the AuthKey scheme used in various Cloud service providers to authenticate users.

Example:

```text
  signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey";
  signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";
```

 **KeySecret** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication. This key must be set and match the key used by the DCAuth counterpart for the scheme to work.

Read more about configuring authentication in the [KeyID](#ExternalCrypto_f_KeyID) topic.

 **Method** *int*
*Default Value: 0*

Specifies the asynchronous signing method. This is typically defined by the DC server capabilities and setup.

Available options:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| asmdPKCS1 | 0 |
| asmdPKCS7 | 1 |

 **Mode** *int*
*Default Value: 0*

Specifies the external cryptography mode.

Available options:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| ecmDefault | The default value (0) |
| ecmDisabled | Do not use DC or external signing (1) |
| ecmGeneric | Generic external signing with the OnExternalSign event (2) |
| ecmDCAuth | DCAuth signing (3) |
| ecmDCAuthJSON | DCAuth signing in JSON format (4) |

 **PublicKeyAlgorithm** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Provide the public key algorithm here if the certificate is not available on the pre-signing stage.

The following fields are available:

- [ContactPerson](#SAMLEntity_f_ContactPerson)

- [EncryptionKey](#SAMLEntity_f_EncryptionKey)

- [EncryptionMethods](#SAMLEntity_f_EncryptionMethods)

- [EntityID](#SAMLEntity_f_EntityID)

- [Flags](#SAMLEntity_f_Flags)

- [IdPSSOLink](#SAMLEntity_f_IdPSSOLink)

- [NameIDFormats](#SAMLEntity_f_NameIDFormats)

- [OrganizationDisplayName](#SAMLEntity_f_OrganizationDisplayName)

- [ValidUntil](#SAMLEntity_f_ValidUntil)

## Fields

 **ContactPerson** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

The contact person or persons for the entity.

SAML assumes that more than one contact person can be specified. Each line of this potentially multi-line property contains one such record.

Each record contains a semicolon-separated list of contact person parameters, for example:

```text
Company=My Company;EmailAddress=info@company.com;TelephoneNumber=+012345678;Type=other

Company=My Company;EmailAddress=info@company.com;TelephoneNumber=+012345678;Type=technical;Extension.https://spid.gov.it/saml-extensions.VATNumber=IT122345678
```

You can use LoadNameValuePairs and SaveNameValuePairs methods of the Utils class to process content of this property.

 **EncryptionKey** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Contains the entity's encryption key.

This setting returns the entity's public encryption key. In most cases this is in the form of a DER-encoded X.509 certificate. This property cannot be set in code; it is either taken from the processed metadata file (for other-party settings), or derived from the locally set EncryptionCertificate setting (for this-party settings).

Requests sent to the endpoint can be encrypted with the provided key or certificate.

 **EncryptionMethods** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Specifies the list of encryption methods supported by the entity.

This setting contains a list of encryption methods, in form of XML-ENC URLs separated with newline characters, supported by the entity. These can be considered when encrypting messages destined for this entity.

Examples of algorithms supported by this property:

- http://www.w3.org/2009/xmlenc11#aes128-gcm
- http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#aes256-cbc

 **EntityID** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Represents the SAML entity ID.

Use this property to read or set the unique SAML entity ID. This is often the URI of the web endpoint (such as https://sp.myserver.com).

 **Flags** *int*
*Default Value: 0*

Adjusts secondary entity properties.

Use this bit mask property to adjust certain secondary settings. The following flags are supported:

- 1 - sefRequireSignedRequests - the provider expects the consumers to sign requests they send in.

 **IdPSSOLink** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Contains a local server page link that triggers SAML authentication to the SP.

This property specifies the web link that initiates the transfer of SAML authentication fact to the SP.

One scenario where this property can be used is triggering the assertion dispatch in IdP-initiated SSO flows. Navigating to the link will make the IdP server generate the authentication assertion (if the user had been authenticated) and forward this assertion to the respective service provider.

 **NameIDFormats** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

The list of NameID formats supported by this entity.

Use this setting to get or set the list of NameID formats supported by the entity.

Use SAML notation for the formats:

- urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient
- urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent
- urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress

 **OrganizationDisplayName** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

The friendly name of the organization that maintains the entity.

Use this setting to get or set the user-friendly name of the organization that maintains the SAML entity.

 **OrganizationLang** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

The language preferred by the organization.

This optional setting can be used to adjust the preferred language of the owning organization.

 **OrganizationName** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

The name of the organization that maintains the entity.

Use this setting to get or set the name of the organization that maintains the SAML entity.

 **OrganizationURL** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

The web URL of the organization that maintains the entity.

Use this setting to get or set the web address of the organization responsible for this SAML entity.

 **SignatureValidationResult** *int (read-only)*
*Default Value: 0*

The outcome of the cryptographic signature validation.

The following signature validity values are supported:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| svtValid | 0 | The signature is valid |
| svtUnknown | 1 | Signature validity is unknown |
| svtCorrupted | 2 | The signature is corrupted |
| svtSignerNotFound | 3 | Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated. |
| svtFailure | 4 | General failure |
| svtReferenceCorrupted | 5 | Reference corrupted (XML-based signatures only) |

 **Signed** *boolean (read-only)*
*Default Value: False*

Specifies whether the SAML entity information is or should be signed.

Check this property to find out whether the metadata was signed by the sender, or set this property to true to indicate that the created metadata should be signed.

 **SignedWith** *String (read-only)*
*Default Value: ""*

Contains the certificate or key that was used to sign the settings (metadata) document.

This setting returns the public part of the metadata signing key. In most cases this is in the form of a DER-encoded X.509 certificate.

The value of this property is retrieved from the metadata file when it is loaded with the ImportSettings call. If the metadata is signed, you can check the integrity of the signature using the [SignatureValidationResult](#SAMLEntity_f_SignatureValidationResult) setting.

 **SigningKey** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Contains the entity's signing key.

This setting returns the public part of the entity's signing key. In most cases this is in the form of a PKCS#1 RSA or ECDSA key.

The signing key is used to sign message conveyed over Redirect binding. Redirect signatures are simpler than SAML message signatures and are made with raw keys rather than certificates.

 **ValidUntil** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Specifies the expiration time of the SAML entity information.

This setting only makes sense when the information was loaded or is going to be saved to a metadata XML.

## Constructors

```text
public SAMLEntity();
```

 Creates a new SAMLEntity object.

# SAMLSecuritySettings Type

Contains the pre-shared key for the PSK (Pre-Shared Key) key-exchange mechanism, encoded with base16.

 **PreSharedKeyCiphersuite** *String*
*Default Value: ""*

Defines the ciphersuite used for PSK (Pre-Shared Key) negotiation.

 **RenegotiationAttackPreventionMode** *int*
*Default Value: 2*

Selects the renegotiation attack prevention mechanism.

The following options are available:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| crapmCompatible | 0 | TLS 1.0 and 1.1 compatibility mode (renegotiation indication extension is disabled). |
| crapmStrict | 1 | Renegotiation attack prevention is enabled and enforced. |
| crapmAuto | 2 | Automatically choose whether to enable or disable renegotiation attack prevention. |

 **RevocationCheck** *int*
*Default Value: 1*

Specifies the kind(s) of revocation check to perform.

Revocation checking is necessary to ensure the integrity of the chain and obtain up-to-date certificate validity and trustworthiness information.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| crcNone | 0 | No revocation checking. |
| crcAuto | 1 | Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future. |
| crcAllCRL | 2 | All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
| crcAllOCSP | 3 | All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
| crcAllCRLAndOCSP | 4 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed. |
| crcAnyCRL | 5 | All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. |
| crcAnyOCSP | 6 | All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. |
| crcAnyCRLOrOCSP | 7 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first. |
| crcAnyOCSPOrCRL | 8 | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. OCSP endpoints are checked first. |

This setting controls the way the revocation checks are performed for every certificate in the chain. Typically certificates come with two types of revocation information sources: CRL (certificate revocation lists) and OCSP responders. CRLs are static objects periodically published by the CA at some online location. OCSP responders are active online services maintained by the CA that can provide up-to-date information on certificate statuses in near real time.

There are some conceptual differences between the two. CRLs are normally larger in size. Their use involves some latency because there is normally some delay between the time when a certificate was revoked and the time the subsequent CRL mentioning that is published. The benefits of CRL is that the same object can provide statuses for all certificates issued by a particular CA, and that the whole technology is much simpler than OCSP (and thus is supported by more CAs).

This setting lets you adjust the validation course by including or excluding certain types of revocation sources from the validation process. The crcAnyOCSPOrCRL setting (give preference to the faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most typical validation environments. The "crcAll*" modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential.

NOTE: If no CRL or OCSP endpoints are provided by the CA, the revocation check will be considered successful. This is because the CA chose not to supply revocation information for its certificates, meaning they are considered irrevocable.

NOTE: Within each of the above settings, if any retrieved CRL or OCSP response indicates that the certificate has been revoked, the revocation check fails.

 **SSLOptions** *int*
*Default Value: 16*

| keepolder |  | Keep older entries in the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount (newer entries are discarded) |

**MaxASN1BufferLength**: Specifies the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 primitive tag data.This global property limits the maximal allowed length for ASN.1 tag data for non-content-carrying structures, such as certificates, CRLs, or timestamps. It does not affect structures that can carry content, such as CMS/CAdES messages. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

**MaxASN1TreeDepth**: Specifies the maximal depth for processed ASN.1 trees.This global property limits the maximal depth of ASN.1 trees that the component can handle without throwing an error. This is a security property aiming at preventing DoS attacks.

**OCSPHashAlgorithm**: Specifies the hash algorithm to be used to identify certificates in OCSP requests.This global setting defines the hash algorithm to use in OCSP requests during chain validation. Some OCSP responders can only use older algorithms, in which case setting this property to SHA1 may be helpful.

**OldClientSideRSAFallback**: Specifies whether the SSH client should use a SHA1 fallback.Tells the SSH client to use a legacy ssh-rsa authentication even if the server indicates support for newer algorithms, such as rsa-sha-256. This is a backward-compatibility tweak.

**PKICache**: Specifies which PKI elements (certificates, CRLs, OCSP responses) should be cached.The PKICache setting specifies which Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) elements should be cached to optimize performance and reduce retrieval times. It supports comma-separated values to indicate the specific types of PKI data that should be cached.

Supported Values:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| certificate | Enables caching of certificates. |
| crl | Enables caching of Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). |
| ocsp | Enables caching of OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) responses. |

Example (default value):

```text
PKICache=certificate,crl,ocsp
```

 In this example, the component caches certificates, CRLs, and OCSP responses.

**PKICachePath**: Specifies the file system path where cached PKI data is stored.The PKICachePath setting defines the file system path where cached PKI data (e.g., certificates, CRLs, OCSP responses and Trusted Lists) will be stored. This allows the system to persistently save and retrieve PKI cache data, even across application restarts.

The default value is an empty string - no cached PKI data is stored on disk.

Example:

```text
PKICachePath=C:\Temp\cache
```

 In this example, the cached PKI data is stored in the C:\Temp\cache directory.

**ProductVersion**: Returns the version of the SecureBlackbox library.This property returns the long version string of the SecureBlackbox library being used (major.minor.build.revision).

| none |  | No static DNS rules (default) |
| local |  | Local static DNS rules |
| global |  | Global static DNS rules |

**StaticIPAddress[domain]**: Gets or sets an IP address for the specified domain name.Use this property to get or set an IP address for the specified domain name in the internal (of the class) or global DNS rules storage depending on the *StaticDNS* value. The type of the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) is determined automatically. If both addresses are available, they are divided by the | (pipe) character.

**StaticIPAddresses**: Gets or sets all the static DNS rules.Use this property to get static DNS rules from the current rules storage or restore them back between application sessions. If *StaticDNS* of the class is set to "*local*", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the class. If *StaticDNS* of the class is set to "*global*", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the GLOBAL storage. The rules list is returned and accepted in JSON format.

**Tag**: Allows to store any custom data.Use this config property to store any custom data.

**TLSSessionGroup**: Specifies the group name of TLS sessions to be used for session resumption.Use this property to limit the search of cached TLS sessions to the specified group. Sessions from other groups will be ignored. By default, all sessions are cached with an empty group name and available to all the classes.

**TLSSessionLifetime**: Specifies lifetime in seconds of the cached TLS session.Use this property to specify how much time the TLS session should be kept in the session cache. After this time, the session expires and will be automatically removed from the cache. Default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

**TLSSessionPurgeInterval**: Specifies how often the session cache should remove the expired TLS sessions.Use this property to specify the time interval of purging the expired TLS sessions from the session cache. Default value is 60 seconds (1 minute).

**UseCRLObjectCaching**: Specifies whether reuse of loaded CRL objects is enabled.This setting enables or disables the caching of CRL objects. When set to true (the default value), the system checks if a CRL object is already loaded in memory before attempting to load a new instance. If the object is found, the existing instance is reused, and its reference count is incremented to track its usage. When the reference count reaches zero, indicating that no references to the object remain, the system will free the object from memory. This setting enhances performance by minimizing unnecessary object instantiation and promotes efficient memory management, particularly in scenarios where CRL objects are frequently used.

**UseInternalRandom**: Switches between SecureBlackbox-own and platform PRNGs.Allows to switch between internal/native PRNG implementation and the one provided by the platform.

**UseLegacyAdESValidation**: Enables legacy AdES validation mode.Use this setting to switch the AdES component to the validation approach that was used in SBB 2020/SBB 2022 (less attention to temporal details).

**UseOCSPResponseObjectCaching**: Specifies whether reuse of loaded OCSP response objects is enabled.This setting enables or disables the caching of OCSP response objects. When set to true (the default value), the system checks if a OCSP response object is already loaded in memory before attempting to load a new instance. If the object is found, the existing instance is reused, and its reference count is incremented to track its usage. When the reference count reaches zero, indicating that no references to the object remain, the system will free the object from memory. This setting enhances performance by minimizing unnecessary object instantiation and promotes efficient memory management, particularly in scenarios where OCSP response objects are frequently used.

**UseOwnDNSResolver**: Specifies whether the client components should use own DNS resolver.Set this global property to false to force all the client components to use the DNS resolver provided by the target OS instead of using own one.

**UseSharedSystemStorages**: Specifies whether the validation engine should use a global per-process copy of the system certificate stores.Set this global property to false to make each validation run use its own copy of system certificate stores.

**UseSystemNativeSizeCalculation**: An internal CryptoAPI access tweak.This is an internal setting. Please do not use it unless instructed by the support team.

**UseSystemOAEPAndPSS**: Enforces or disables the use of system-driven RSA OAEP and PSS computations.This global setting defines who is responsible for performing RSA-OAEP and RSA-PSS computations where the private key is stored in a Windows system store and is exportable. If set to true, SBB will delegate the computations to Windows via a CryptoAPI call. Otherwise, it will export the key material and perform the computations using its own OAEP/PSS implementation.

This setting only applies to certificates originating from a Windows system store.

**UseSystemRandom**: Enables or disables the use of the OS PRNG.Use this global property to enable or disable the use of operating system-driven pseudorandom number generation.

**XMLRDNDescriptorName[OID]**: Defines an OID mapping to descriptor names for the certificate's IssuerRDN or SubjectRDN.This property defines custom mappings between Object Identifiers (OIDs) and descriptor names. This mapping specifies how the certificate's issuer and subject information (ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements respectively) are represented in XML signatures.

The property accepts comma-separated values where the first descriptor name is used when the OID is mapped, and subsequent values act as aliases for parsing.

Syntax:

```text
Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[OID]=PrimaryName,Alias1,Alias2");
```

Where:

OID: The Object Identifier from the certificate's IssuerRDN or SubjectRDN that you want to map.

PrimaryName: The main descriptor name used in the XML signature when the OID is encountered.

Alias1, Alias2, ...: Optional alternative names recognized during parsing.

Usage Examples:

Map OID 2.5.4.5 to SERIALNUMBER:

```text
Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[2.5.4.5]=SERIALNUMBER");
```

Map OID 1.2.840.113549.1.9.1 to E, with aliases EMAIL and EMAILADDRESS:

```text
Config("XMLRDNDescriptorName[1.2.840.113549.1.9.1]=E,EMAIL,EMAILADDRESS");
```

**XMLRDNDescriptorPriority[OID]**: Specifies the priority of descriptor names associated with a specific OID.This property specifies the priority of descriptor names associated with a specific OID that allows to reorder descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during signing.

**XMLRDNDescriptorReverseOrder**: Specifies whether to reverse the order of descriptors in RDN.Specifies whether to reverse the order of descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during XML signing. By default, this property is set to true (as specified in RFC 2253, 2.1).

**XMLRDNDescriptorSeparator**: Specifies the separator used between descriptors in RDN.Specifies the separator used between descriptors in the ds:IssuerRDN and ds:SubjectRDN elements during XML signing. By default, this property is set to ", " value.
