The SAMLReader component offers SAML message processing functionality

Syntax

nsoftware.SecureBlackbox.Samlreader

Remarks

SAMLReader provides means for processing of SAML protocol messages and extraction of their elements. Together with SAMLWriter it provides fine-grained access to the contents of SAML messages. You may consider using these classes if functionality offered by SAMLIdPServer and SAMLSPServer is too high a level for your usage scenario.

SAMLReader and SAMLWriter are independent of SAML server controls, and focus on scenarios that require lower-level access to SAML messaging.

SAMLReader can process the following types of SAML messages:

  • AssertionIDRequest
  • SubjectQuery
  • AuthnQuery
  • AttributeQuery
  • AuthzDecisionQuery
  • AuthnRequest
  • ManageNameIDRequest
  • LogoutRequest
  • NameIDMappingRequest
  • ArtifactResolve
  • Response

Pass your SAML message to Open (or OpenStream) method. Upon processing, component will populate the elements of the message in the properties, such as InputType or Issuer. More complex elements, such as assertions, require pinning with PinAssertion method to be populated in the object properties.

The snippet below shows how to use SAMLReader to process a message of the AuthnRequest type created by the matching SAMLReader example (or by any compatible SAML endpoint). The input SAML message has the following look: <samlp:AuthnRequest xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion" ID="53GhrzQ5f89fu214ANAR" Version="2.0" IssueInstant="2021-12-15T10:39:31Z" Destination="http://destination-url.com" IsPassive="false" ProtocolBinding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST" AssertionConsumerServiceURL="https://assertion-consumer-url.com" AttributeConsumingServiceIndex="1" xmlns:samlp="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol"> <saml:Issuer Format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:entity">https://issuer-url.com</saml:Issuer> <ds:Signature xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"> <ds:SignedInfo> <ds:CanonicalizationMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#"/> <ds:SignatureMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#rsa-sha256"/> <ds:Reference URI="#53GhrzQ5f89fu214ANAR"> <ds:Transforms> <ds:Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#enveloped-signature"/> <ds:Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#"/> </ds:Transforms> <ds:DigestMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#sha256"/><ds:DigestValue>+xhhgXtwYN0/r9h7WAwg=</ds:DigestValue> </ds:Reference> </ds:SignedInfo> <ds:SignatureValue> jfYeIq/z8D1tJZYbVqDMoqKpdrfGMj8/zI7gbUsJbECAr00cN34md2QG0mo4cOx7pny+5 Tht7tUzqENHqcZdmlOcZc2JcJqokVxIcLEluFiWKlNjpexkXFQKzOC1peRfTZm8SQTqtP Cz8IknLUc6Scfml29PHmks1PxjJDteGb/+FggsZRTGZC3a05nvH3ayvHukPeHuHssx5dX nj0quT8salR6fdx6lAJo/AnDHzcfBNyxAMn+ebk5VOOgVD1L3PayvXib/maj8aVI2I5UT o4vmfybTWKzeS8DX9We7UV+4Xowwe647t1A912xLVub/e23A18Yf1V0PXC87kttTkA== </ds:SignatureValue> <ds:KeyInfo> <ds:X509Data><ds:X509Certificate> MIIEKDCCAxCgAwIBAgIFYA3A3gIwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAwfjELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxC zAJBgNVBAgTAk5DMRQwEgYDVQQHEwtDaGFwZWwgSGlsbDEiMCAGCSqGSIb3DQEJARMTc2 FsZXNAbnNvZnR3YXJlLmNvbTEoMCYGA1UEAxMfU2VjdXJlQmxhY2tib3ggRGVtbyBDZXJ 0aWZpY2F0ZTAeFw0xNzA5MDEwMDAwMDBaFw0yMjA5MDEwMDAwMDBaMH4xCzAJBgNVBAYT AlVTMQswCQYDVQQIEwJOQzEUMBIGA1UEBxMLQ2hhcGVsIEhpbGwxIjAgBgkqhkiG9w0BC QETE3NhbGVzQG5zb2Z0d2FyZS5jb20xKDAmBgNVBAMTH1NlY3VyZUJsYWNrYm94IERlbW 8gQ2VydGlmaWNhdGUwggEiMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4IBDwAwggEKAoIBAQCfAVIcq9o eoIbw56LsPjxWsX3YGkqasBQzgQymhfcDZeSvFKFis8iqArGLTUUWOaImO5t2UmjIa+4n YP39hb9Z1r0CMy53p83oYbbZZ7qMeji0pMAufJHqKCN8t2HNWf2HE8S9UOU7R/UHdrSAN JitBKV9lSG9f450yWoGNwt35ZCsOp0zqtCgvkEvteGsz01R5DDjOccs3QNu25K/Sf27KP CYabS6A1ehYNY/G32qoKNJhu3DN4bWje57gBWi9WSfQ3tZUOV5q2ozaNJA78Wl4fXC6RB CaBh0GOwXeyZoH13LJdn+lqlCSMz024ImG4yFQEENbWvE9Elku8RYTn73AgMBAAGjgaww gakwHwYDVR0jBBgwFoAUmt/L7GI1SH36Sp8EUBxTwuzSgqMwHQYDVR0OBBYEFJrfy+xiN Uh9+kqfBFAcU8Ls0oKjMA8GA1UdEwEB/wQFMAMBAf8wDwYDVR0PAQH/BAUDAwDuADBFBg NVHSUEPjA8BggrBgEFBQcDAQYIKwYBBQUHAwIGCCsGAQUFBwMDBggrBgEFBQcDBAYIKwY BBQUHAwgGCCsGAQUFBwMJMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBCwUAA4IBAQBovHBbMsW/k/5iuLQQqsYS ng5X2iy1W+5BRb1hz0MGnHGLqJWy1ty5+bTo6g/zvT65dXIPIexLkInEenYSy75Lthr6a ewUcvwfl1TYXjWlMD5Nm5pM9As71+XsGSdYGXoKohbEzbT6RDByjwR+yxtatqko7e1Eg6 InNJRTRt7al/63FSPEgSCqOX6asDVDNZ83db0dOcoeaPEiDz3liE3+tYHtKXj5/qwTtYd aqBZxdJfuCKZveEFe1DO3/ayDvIvG9Eme+rEjntErF+Cw9a8ukesvDuT49cRE9oTs3O7f 6LUbhCv5zJN+dTFr75NSdWdp4yvn3nK3i2udeMnTWK0U </ds:X509Certificate></ds:X509Data> </ds:KeyInfo> </ds:Signature> <samlp:NameIDPolicy Format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent"/> <saml:Conditions NotBefore="2021-12-15T10:39:31Z" NotOnOrAfter="2021-12-15T11:09:31Z"><saml:OneTimeUse/></saml:Conditions> </samlp:AuthnRequest> You can process this message and access its properties with the following code: Samlreader reader = new Samlreader(); reader.ValidateSignatures = true; reader.Open(req); Log("SAML document loaded.

Provides access to TLS extensions.

ForceResumeIfDestinationChanges
bool

Default Value: False

Whether to force TLS session resumption when the destination address changes.

PreSharedIdentity
string

Default Value: ""

Defines the identity used when the PSK (Pre-Shared Key) key-exchange mechanism is negotiated.

PreSharedKey
string

Default Value: ""

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
RenegotiationAttackPreventionModes

Default Value: 0

Selects the renegotiation attack prevention mechanism.

The following options are available:

crapmCompatible0TLS 1.0 and 1.1 compatibility mode (renegotiation indication extension is disabled).
crapmStrict1Renegotiation attack prevention is enabled and enforced.
crapmAuto2Automatically choose whether to enable or disable renegotiation attack prevention.

RevocationCheck
RevocationCheckKinds

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.

crcNone0No revocation checking.
crcAuto1Automatic mode selection. Currently this maps to crcAnyOCSPOrCRL, but it may change in the future.
crcAllCRL2All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllOCSP3All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAllCRLAndOCSP4All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and all checks must succeed.
crcAnyCRL5All provided CRL endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyOCSP6All provided OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed.
crcAnyCRLOrOCSP7All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints will be checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first.
crcAnyOCSPOrCRL8All 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.

Config Settings (SAMLReader 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.

SAMLReader Config Settings

IgnoreSystemTrust:   Whether trusted Windows Certificate Stores should be treated as trusted.

Specifies whether, during chain validation, the component should respect the trust to CA certificates as configured in the operating system. In Windows this effectively defines whether the component should trust the certificates residing in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.

If IgnoreSystemTrust is True, certificates residing in the trusted root store are treated as if they are known, rather than trusted. Only certificates provided via other means (such as the TrustedCertificates property) are considered trusted.

TolerateMinorChainIssues:   Whether to tolerate minor chain issues.

This parameter controls whether the chain validator should tolerate minor technical issues when validating the chain. Those are:

  • CA, revocation source, TLS key usage requirements are not mandated
  • Violation of OCSP issuer requirements are ignored
  • The AuthorityKeyID extension in CRL- and certificate-issuing CAs are ignored (helps with incorrectly renewed certificates)
  • Basic constraints and name constraints of CA certificates are ignored
  • Some weaker algorithms are tolerated
UseMicrosoftCTL:   Enables or disables the automatic use of the Microsoft online certificate trust list.

Enable this property to make the chain validation module automatically look up missing CA certificates in the public Windows Update repository.

UseSystemCertificates:   Enables or disables the use of the system certificates.

Use this property to tell the chain validation module to automatically look up missing CA certificates in the system certificates. In many cases it is beneficial to switch this property on, as the operating system certificate configuration provides a representative trust framework.

Base Config Settings

CheckKeyIntegrityBeforeUse:   Enables or disable private key integrity check before use.

This global property enables or disables private key material check before each signing operation. This slows down performance a bit, but prevents a selection of attacks on RSA keys where keys with unknown origins are used.

You can switch this property off to improve performance if your project only uses known, good private keys.

CookieCaching:   Specifies whether a cookie cache should be used for HTTP(S) transports.

Set this property to enable or disable cookies caching for the component.

Supported values are:

offNo caching (default)
localLocal caching
globalGlobal caching

Cookies:   Gets or sets local cookies for the component.

Use this property to get cookies from the internal cookie storage of the component and/or restore them back between application sessions.

DefDeriveKeyIterations:   Specifies the default key derivation algorithm iteration count.

This global property sets the default number of iterations for all supported key derivation algorithms. Note that you can provide the required number of iterations by using properties of the relevant key generation component; this global setting is used in scenarios where specific iteration count is not or cannot be provided.

EnableClientSideSSLFFDHE:   Enables or disables finite field DHE key exchange support in TLS clients.

This global property enables or disables support for finite field DHE key exchange methods in TLS clients. FF DHE is a slower algorithm if compared to EC DHE; enabling it may result in slower connections.

This setting only applies to sessions negotiated with TLS version 1.3.

GlobalCookies:   Gets or sets global cookies for all the HTTP transports.

Use this property to get cookies from the GLOBAL cookie storage or restore them back between application sessions. These cookies will be used by all the components that have its CookieCaching property set to "global".

HttpUserAgent:   Specifies the user agent name to be used by all HTTP clients.

This global setting defines the User-Agent field of the HTTP request provides information about the software that initiates the request. This value will be used by all the HTTP clients including the ones used internally in other components.

LogDestination:   Specifies the debug log destination.

Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies where debug log should be dumped.

Supported values are:

fileFile
consoleConsole
systemlogSystem Log (supported for Android only)
debuggerDebugger (supported for VCL for Windows and .Net)

LogDetails:   Specifies the debug log details to dump.

Contains a comma-separated list of values that specifies which debug log details to dump.

Supported values are:

timeCurrent time
levelLevel
packagePackage name
moduleModule name
classClass name
methodMethod name
threadidThread Id
contenttypeContent type
contentContent
allAll details

LogFile:   Specifies the debug log filename.

Use this property to provide a path to the log file.

LogFilters:   Specifies the debug log filters.

Contains a comma-separated list of value pairs ("name:value") that describe filters.

Supported filter names are:

exclude-packageExclude a package specified in the value
exclude-moduleExclude a module specified in the value
exclude-classExclude a class specified in the value
exclude-methodExclude a method specified in the value
include-packageInclude a package specified in the value
include-moduleInclude a module specified in the value
include-classInclude a class specified in the value
include-methodInclude a method specified in the value

LogFlushMode:   Specifies the log flush mode.

Use this property to set the log flush mode. The following values are defined:

noneNo flush (caching only)
immediateImmediate flush (real-time logging)
maxcountFlush cached entries upon reaching LogMaxEventCount entries in the cache.

LogLevel:   Specifies the debug log level.

Use this property to provide the desired debug log level.

Supported values are:

noneNone (by default)
fatalSevere errors that cause premature termination.
errorOther runtime errors or unexpected conditions.
warningUse of deprecated APIs, poor use of API, 'almost' errors, other runtime situations that are undesirable or unexpected, but not necessarily "wrong".
infoInteresting runtime events (startup/shutdown).
debugDetailed information on flow of through the system.
traceMore detailed information.

LogMaxEventCount:   Specifies the maximum number of events to cache before further action is taken.

Use this property to specify the log event number threshold. This threshold may have different effects, depending on the rotation setting and/or the flush mode.

The default value of this setting is 100.

LogRotationMode:   Specifies the log rotation mode.

Use this property to set the log rotation mode. The following values are defined:

noneNo rotation
deleteolderDelete older entries from the cache upon reaching LogMaxEventCount
keepolderKeep 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.

StaticDNS:   Specifies whether static DNS rules should be used.

Set this property to enable or disable static DNS rules for the component. Works only if UseOwnDNSResolver is set to true.

Supported values are:

noneNo static DNS rules (default)
localLocal static DNS rules
globalGlobal 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 component) 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 devided 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 component is set to "local", the property returns/restores the rules from/to the internal storage of the component. If StaticDNS of the component 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 chached 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 components.

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).

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.

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.
