The SAMLSPServer class represents a SAML service provider.

Syntax

class 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 load_idp_metadata 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 metadata_url 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 base_dir 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 protected_resources property. If protected_resources is empty, the server considers all the files in base_dir 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 assertion_consumer_service 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.

Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use external_crypto_key_secret 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";

external_crypto_key_secret Property

The pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.

Syntax

def get_external_crypto_key_secret() -> str: ...
def set_external_crypto_key_secret(value: str) -> None: ...

external_crypto_key_secret = property(get_external_crypto_key_secret, set_external_crypto_key_secret)

Default Value

""

Remarks

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.

tls_revocation_check Property

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

def get_tls_revocation_check() -> int: ...
def set_tls_revocation_check(value: int) -> None: ...

tls_revocation_check = property(get_tls_revocation_check, set_tls_revocation_check)

Default Value

1

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. 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 faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most of typical validation environments. The "crcAll*" modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential.

Please make sure the URL you provide here aligns well with the relative endpoint resource paths, such as assertion_consumer_service or artifact_resolution_service. 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.

config Method

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings 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, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

do_action Method

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

def do_action(action_id: str, action_params: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

do_action 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 insencitive) 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;....

get_client_buffer Method

Obtains a pending connection buffer.

Syntax

def get_client_buffer(connection_id: int) -> bytes: ...

Remarks

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

get_provider_property Method

Returns the value of a custom provider property.

Syntax

def get_provider_property(name: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

This method, together with set_provider_property, 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

load_idp_metadata Method

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

Syntax

def load_idp_metadata(file_name: str) -> None: ...

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.

process_generic_request Method

Processes a generic HTTP SAML request.

Syntax

def process_generic_request(request: bytes) -> bytes: ...

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 offline_mode.

save_metadata Method

Saves the SP configuration to a metadata file.

Syntax

def save_metadata(file_name: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

Use this method to save the Service Provider (SP) configuration in the form of XML metadata in the file specified by FileName. This file may be transferred to identity providers (IdP) to adjust their interaction processes.

set_client_buffer Method

Commits a data buffer to the connection.

Syntax

def set_client_buffer(connection_id: int, value: bytes) -> None: ...

Remarks

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

set_provider_property Method

Syntax

def set_provider_property(name: str, value: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method, together with get_provider_property, 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

  @property
  def description() -> str: ...

# In class SAMLSPServer:
@property
def on_error() -> Callable[[SAMLSPServerErrorEventParams], None]: ...
@on_error.setter
def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[SAMLSPServerErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

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.

on_external_sign Event

Handles remote or external signing initiated by the server protocol.

Syntax

class SAMLSPServerExternalSignEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def operation_id() -> str: ...

  @property
  def hash_algorithm() -> str: ...

  @property
  def pars() -> str: ...

  @property
  def data() -> str: ...

  @property
  def signed_data() -> str: ...
  @signed_data.setter
  def signed_data(value) -> None: ...

# In class SAMLSPServer:
@property
def on_external_sign() -> Callable[[SAMLSPServerExternalSignEventParams], None]: ...
@on_external_sign.setter
def on_external_sign(event_hook: Callable[[SAMLSPServerExternalSignEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

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 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 contain algorithm-dependent parameters.

The component uses base16 (hex) encoding for 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 a .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(); };

on_metadata_request Event

Notifies the application about the metadata request.

Syntax

class SAMLSPServerMetadataRequestEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def metadata() -> str: ...
  @metadata.setter
  def metadata(value) -> None: ...

# In class SAMLSPServer:
@property
def on_metadata_request() -> Callable[[SAMLSPServerMetadataRequestEventParams], None]: ...
@on_metadata_request.setter
def on_metadata_request(event_hook: Callable[[SAMLSPServerMetadataRequestEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The class 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.

on_notification Event

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

Syntax

class SAMLSPServerNotificationEventParams(object):
  @property
  def event_id() -> str: ...

  @property
  def event_param() -> str: ...

# In class SAMLSPServer:
@property
def on_notification() -> Callable[[SAMLSPServerNotificationEventParams], None]: ...
@on_notification.setter
def on_notification(event_hook: Callable[[SAMLSPServerNotificationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The class 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 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.

on_resource_close Event

Tells the application that it can close the opened resource.

Syntax

class SAMLSPServerResourceCloseEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

# In class SAMLSPServer:
@property
def on_resource_close() -> Callable[[SAMLSPServerResourceCloseEventParams], None]: ...
@on_resource_close.setter
def on_resource_close(event_hook: Callable[[SAMLSPServerResourceCloseEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

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

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

on_resource_open Event

Requests the application to open the requested resource.

Syntax

class SAMLSPServerResourceOpenEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def url() -> str: ...

  @property
  def operation_status() -> int: ...
  @operation_status.setter
  def operation_status(value) -> None: ...

# In class SAMLSPServer:
@property
def on_resource_open() -> Callable[[SAMLSPServerResourceOpenEventParams], None]: ...
@on_resource_open.setter
def on_resource_open(event_hook: Callable[[SAMLSPServerResourceOpenEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

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

on_resource_read Event

Requests the application to read from an opened resource.

Syntax

class SAMLSPServerResourceReadEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def size() -> int: ...

  @property
  def operation_status() -> int: ...
  @operation_status.setter
  def operation_status(value) -> None: ...

# In class SAMLSPServer:
@property
def on_resource_read() -> Callable[[SAMLSPServerResourceReadEventParams], None]: ...
@on_resource_read.setter
def on_resource_read(event_hook: Callable[[SAMLSPServerResourceReadEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

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 set_client_buffer 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 on_resource_read calls are needed.

Set OperationStatus to one of the following values:

on_resource_request Event

Notifies the application that a server resource is requested.

Syntax

class SAMLSPServerResourceRequestEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def url() -> str: ...

  @property
  def res_protected() -> bool: ...
  @res_protected.setter
  def res_protected(value) -> None: ...

  @property
  def res_special() -> bool: ...
  @res_special.setter
  def res_special(value) -> None: ...

  @property
  def action() -> int: ...
  @action.setter
  def action(value) -> None: ...

# In class SAMLSPServer:
@property
def on_resource_request() -> Callable[[SAMLSPServerResourceRequestEventParams], None]: ...
@on_resource_request.setter
def on_resource_request(event_hook: Callable[[SAMLSPServerResourceRequestEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

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 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:

on_session_closed Event

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

Syntax

class SAMLSPServerSessionClosedEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

# In class SAMLSPServer:
@property
def on_session_closed() -> Callable[[SAMLSPServerSessionClosedEventParams], None]: ...
@on_session_closed.setter
def on_session_closed(event_hook: Callable[[SAMLSPServerSessionClosedEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

ConnectionID contains the identifier of the closed session.

on_session_established Event

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

Syntax

class SAMLSPServerSessionEstablishedEventParams(object):
  @property
  def connection_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def username() -> str: ...

# In class SAMLSPServer:
@property
def on_session_established() -> Callable[[SAMLSPServerSessionEstablishedEventParams], None]: ...
@on_session_established.setter

  @property
  def stage() -> str: ...

# In class SAMLSPServer:
@property
def on_session_stage_changed() -> Callable[[SAMLSPServerSessionStageChangedEventParams], None]: ...
@on_session_stage_changed.setter
def on_session_stage_changed(event_hook: Callable[[SAMLSPServerSessionStageChangedEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

class 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
