The SAMLSPServer component represents a SAML service provider.

Syntax

TsbxSAMLSPServer

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 LoadIDPMetadata method or its stream-based variant. 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. server.LoadIDPMetadata("their_metadata.xml"); // contains "<?xml version="1.0"?><md:EntityDescriptor ID="ab12" ... </md:EntityDescriptor>";
• Configure the main server capabilities: // 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: 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 that you've provided above, in which case saving it to a file is not necessary. server.SaveMetadata("my_metadata.xml");

You are now ready to start the server: 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 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 property. If ProtectedResources is empty, the server considers all the files in BaseDir 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.

__property String ExternalCryptoKeyID = { read=FExternalCryptoKeyID, write=FSetExternalCryptoKeyID };

Default Value

""

Remarks

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 ExternalCryptoKeySecret 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: signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey"; signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";

Data Type

String

ExternalCryptoKeySecret Property (SAMLSPServer Component)

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Syntax

__property String ExternalCryptoKeySecret = { read=FExternalCryptoKeySecret, write=FSetExternalCryptoKeySecret };

Default Value

};

Default Value

crcAuto

Remarks

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.

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.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

Config Method (SAMLSPServer Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

String __fastcall Config(String ConfigurationString);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, 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, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DoAction Method (SAMLSPServer Component)

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

String __fastcall DoAction(String ActionID, String ActionParams);

Remarks

DoAction is a generic method available in every component. 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;....

GetClientBuffer Method (SAMLSPServer Component)

Obtains a pending connection buffer.

Syntax

DynamicArray<Byte> __fastcall GetClientBuffer(__int64 ConnectionID);

Remarks

Use this method to obtain a pending connection buffer from your WriteFile event handler. The connection buffer contains data that have been received from the client but has not been written to the file yet.

GetProviderProperty Method (SAMLSPServer Component)

Returns the value of a custom provider property.

Syntax

String __fastcall GetProviderProperty(String Name);

Remarks

This method, together with SetProviderProperty, 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

LoadIDPMetadata Method (SAMLSPServer Component)

Loads the metadata required for information exchange with the identity provider.

Syntax

void __fastcall LoadIDPMetadata(String FileName);

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.

FileName specifies the metadata file name.

ProcessGenericRequest Method (SAMLSPServer Component)

Processes a generic HTTP SAML request.

Syntax

DynamicArray<Byte> __fastcall ProcessGenericRequest(DynamicArray<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 returned value 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.

SaveMetadata Method (SAMLSPServer Component)

Saves the SP configuration to a metadata file.

Syntax

void __fastcall SaveMetadata(String FileName);

typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerAssertionCreatedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerAssertionCreatedEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerAssertionCreatedEvent OnAssertionCreated = { read=FOnAssertionCreated, write=FOnAssertionCreated };

Remarks

Use this event to track the creation of a new SAML assertion (upon request from the browser or the IdP).

The ConnectionID identifies the connection that requested the assertion. AssertionOrigin and AssertionType specify the type of assertion that was prepared and its disposition, and Content contains the body of the assertion. You can alter the body if required, but please keep in mind that changes may invalidate signed assertions.

AssertionReceived Event (SAMLSPServer Component)

Notifies the user code about the receipt of an assertion.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  __int64 ConnectionID;
  int AssertionOrigin;
  String Content;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerAssertionReceivedEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerAssertionReceivedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerAssertionReceivedEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerAssertionReceivedEvent OnAssertionReceived = { read=FOnAssertionReceived, write=FOnAssertionReceived };

Remarks

Use this event to track the receipt of a SAML assertion from the remote party.

The ConnectionID identifies the connection that requested the assertion. AssertionOrigin specifies the disposition of the assertion, and Content contains its body. You can alter the body if required, but please keep in mind that changes may invalidate signed assertions.

Connect Event (SAMLSPServer Component)

Reports an accepted connection.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  __int64 ConnectionId;
  String RemoteAddress;
  int RemotePort;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerConnectEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerConnectEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerConnectEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerConnectEvent OnConnect = { read=FOnConnect, write=FOnConnect };

Remarks

The component 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 Component)

Fires to report a disconnected client.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  __int64 ConnectionID;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerDisconnectEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerDisconnectEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerDisconnectEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerDisconnectEvent OnDisconnect = { read=FOnDisconnect, write=FOnDisconnect };

Remarks

The component fires this event when a connected client disconnects.

Error Event (SAMLSPServer Component)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int ErrorCode;
  String Description;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerErrorEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerErrorEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };

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 Component)

Handles remote or external signing initiated by the server protocol.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  __int64 ConnectionID;
  String OperationId;
  String HashAlgorithm;
  String Pars;
  String Data;
  String SignedData;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerExternalSignEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerExternalSignEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerExternalSignEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerExternalSignEvent OnExternalSign = { read=FOnExternalSign, write=FOnExternalSign };

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 component via the SignedData parameter.

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

The component 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: 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(); };

MetadataRequest Event (SAMLSPServer Component)

Notifies the application about the metadata request.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  __int64 ConnectionID;
  String Metadata;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerMetadataRequestEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerMetadataRequestEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerMetadataRequestEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerMetadataRequestEvent OnMetadataRequest = { read=FOnMetadataRequest, write=FOnMetadataRequest };

Remarks

The component uses this event to notify the application about an incoming metadata request. The suggested metadata text is provided through the Metadata parameter. The application can adjust it as required if it needs to.

Notification Event (SAMLSPServer Component)

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

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String EventID;
  String EventParam;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerNotificationEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerNotificationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerNotificationEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerNotificationEvent OnNotification = { read=FOnNotification, write=FOnNotification };

Remarks

The component fires this event to let the application know about some event, occurrence, or milestone in the component. 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 component, the exact action it is performing, or the document being processed, one or both may be omitted.

ResourceClose Event (SAMLSPServer Component)

Tells the application that it can close the opened resource.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  __int64 ConnectionID;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceCloseEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceCloseEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceCloseEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceCloseEvent OnResourceClose = { read=FOnResourceClose, write=FOnResourceClose };

Remarks

The component uses this event to notify the application that it can now close the resource opened earlier in its ResourceOpen handler.

After closing the resource, set the OperationStatus according to the outcome of the operation.

ResourceOpen Event (SAMLSPServer Component)

Requests the application to open the requested resource.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  __int64 ConnectionID;
  String URL;
  int OperationStatus;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceOpenEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceOpenEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceOpenEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceOpenEvent OnResourceOpen = { read=FOnResourceOpen, write=FOnResourceOpen };

Remarks

The component fires this event in virtualized mode if the application had returned the fraCustom modifier from the earlier ResourceRequest event call. Your code is expected to open the requested resource and be prepared to read from it in subsequent ResourceRead event calls. Check the operation status, and alter it, if needed, through the OperationStatus parameter:

ResourceRead Event (SAMLSPServer Component)

Requests the application to read from an opened resource.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  __int64 ConnectionID;
  int Size;
  int OperationStatus;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceReadEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceReadEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceReadEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceReadEvent OnResourceRead = { read=FOnResourceRead, write=FOnResourceRead };

Remarks

The component 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 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:

ResourceRequest Event (SAMLSPServer Component)

Notifies the application that a server resource is requested.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  __int64 ConnectionID;
  String URL;
  bool ResProtected;
  bool ResSpecial;
  int Action;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceRequestEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceRequestEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceRequestEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerResourceRequestEvent OnResourceRequest = { read=FOnResourceRequest, write=FOnResourceRequest };

Remarks

The component 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 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:

SessionClosed Event (SAMLSPServer Component)

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

Syntax

typedef struct {
  __int64 ConnectionID;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerSessionClosedEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerSessionClosedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerSessionClosedEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerSessionClosedEvent OnSessionClosed = { read=FOnSessionClosed, write=FOnSessionClosed };

Remarks

ConnectionID contains the identifier of the closed session.

SessionEstablished Event (SAMLSPServer Component)

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

Syntax

typedef struct {
  __int64 ConnectionID;
  String Username;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerSessionEstablishedEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerSessionEstablishedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerSessionEstablishedEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerSessionEstablishedEvent OnSessionEstablished = { read=FOnSessionEstablished, write=FOnSessionEstablished };

Remarks

ConnectionID contains the identifier of the new session, Username specifies the client's address and Username.

SessionStageChanged Event (SAMLSPServer Component)

Notifies the application about the change of SAML session stage.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  __int64 ConnectionID;
  String Session;
  String Stage;
} TsbxSAMLSPServerSessionStageChangedEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TsbxSAMLSPServerSessionStageChangedEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TsbxSAMLSPServerSessionStageChangedEventParams *e);
__property TsbxSAMLSPServerSessionStageChangedEvent OnSessionStageChanged = { read=FOnSessionStageChanged, write=FOnSessionStageChanged };

Remarks

component uses this method to notify your code about changed SAML session stage. The Session parameter specifies the session ID. The Stage parameter can take one of the following values:

• Start
• AuthnRequestSent
• ResponseReceived
• ResourceSupplied
• LogoutRequestSent
• LogoutResponseReceived
• LogoutRequestRecv
• LogoutResponseSent
• ArtifactResolveRecv
• ArtifactResponseSent
• Finish

Config Settings (SAMLSPServer Component)

The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.
