The SAMLSPServer class represents a SAML service provider.

Syntax

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 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.

    server.ImportSettings(metadataBytes, false); // 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.

KnownCertificates Property (SAMLSPServer Class)

Additional certificates for chain validation.

Syntax

SecureBlackboxList<SecureBlackboxCertificate>* GetKnownCertificates();
int SetKnownCertificates(SecureBlackboxList<SecureBlackboxCertificate>* val);
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_getknowncertcount(void* lpObj);
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_setknowncertcount(void* lpObj, int iKnownCertCount);

int SetKnownCertCount(int iKnownCertCount); QByteArray GetKnownCertBytes(int iKnownCertIndex); qint64 GetKnownCertHandle(int iKnownCertIndex);
int SetKnownCertHandle(int iKnownCertIndex, qint64 lKnownCertHandle);

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.

Data Type

OfflineMode Property (SAMLSPServer Class)

Enables the Offline mode.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetOfflineMode();

int secureblackbox_samlspserver_setofflinemode(void* lpObj, int bOfflineMode);
bool GetOfflineMode();
int SetOfflineMode(bool bOfflineMode);

Default Value

TRUE

Remarks

In the Offline mode the server does not open the listening port. Instead, it expects all incoming requests to be relayed by the application via calls to ProcessAssertion, ProcessLogoutRequest ProcessArtifactResolveRequest, and other similar methods.

The Offline mode is a handy mechanism for attaching the server to external web engines, such as IIS or Tomcat. It lets you leave the HTTP matters to the engine, and only be responsible for handling the actual SAML traffic.

int SetTLSServerCertHandle(int iTLSServerCertIndex, qint64 lTLSServerCertHandle);

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.

Data Type

SecureBlackboxTLSSettings

URL Property (SAMLSPServer Class)

Specifies the base URL of this SP server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetURL();
int SetURL(const char* lpszURL); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetURL();
INT SetURL(LPCWSTR lpszURL);
char* secureblackbox_samlspserver_geturl(void* lpObj);
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_seturl(void* lpObj, const char* lpszURL);
QString GetURL();
int SetURL(QString qsURL);

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.

Data Type

String

AddIdPService Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Registers an IdP service in the IdPServices list.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int AddIdPService(int iService, int iBindingType, const char* lpszLocation, int iPriority, int iIndex);

Unicode (Windows)
INT AddIdPService(INT iService, INT iBindingType, LPCWSTR lpszLocation, INT iPriority, INT iIndex);
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_addidpservice(void* lpObj, int iService, int iBindingType, const char* lpszLocation, int iPriority, int iIndex);
int AddIdPService(int iService, int iBindingType, const QString& qsLocation, int iPriority, int iIndex);

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), 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:

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:

spsUnknown0The service is of unknown or unsupported type

spsAssertionConsumerService1The assertion consumer service (SP side only)

spsSingleLogoutService2The single logout service (SP or IdP sides)

spsArtifactResolutionService3The artifact resolution service (SP or IdP sides)

spsAttributeQueryService4The attribute query service (IdP side only)

spsSingleSignOnService5The 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.

csbtNone0TBD

csbtSOAP1TBD

csbtPAOS2TBD

csbtRedirect3TBD

csbtPOST4TBD

csbtArtifact5TBD

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 method, which registers the service provider's own service.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

AddSPService Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Registers an SP service in the SPServices list.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int AddSPService(int iService, int iBindingType, const char* lpszLocation, int iPriority, int iIndex);

Unicode (Windows)
INT AddSPService(INT iService, INT iBindingType, LPCWSTR lpszLocation, INT iPriority, INT iIndex);
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_addspservice(void* lpObj, int iService, int iBindingType, const char* lpszLocation, int iPriority, int iIndex);
int AddSPService(int iService, int iBindingType, const QString& qsLocation, int iPriority, int iIndex);

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:

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:

spsUnknown0The service is of unknown or unsupported type

spsAssertionConsumerService1The assertion consumer service (SP side only)

spsSingleLogoutService2The single logout service (SP or IdP sides)

spsArtifactResolutionService3The artifact resolution service (SP or IdP sides)

spsAttributeQueryService4The attribute query service (IdP side only)

spsSingleSignOnService5The 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.

csbtNone0TBD

csbtSOAP1TBD

csbtPAOS2TBD

csbtRedirect3TBD

csbtPOST4TBD

csbtArtifact5TBD

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

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 method, which registers a foreign identity provider's service - something that the service provider should be aware of.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Cleanup Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Cleanup();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Cleanup();
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_cleanup(void* lpObj);
int 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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Config Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);
char* secureblackbox_samlspserver_config(void* lpObj, const char* lpszConfigurationString);
QString Config(const QString& qsConfigurationString);

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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

DoAction Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* DoAction(const char* lpszActionID, const char* lpszActionParams);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR DoAction(LPCWSTR lpszActionID, LPCWSTR lpszActionParams);
char* secureblackbox_samlspserver_doaction(void* lpObj, const char* lpszActionID, const char* lpszActionParams);
QString DoAction(const QString& qsActionID, const QString& qsActionParams);

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;....

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

DropClient Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Terminates a client connection.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int DropClient(int64 lConnectionId, int bForced);

Unicode (Windows)
INT DropClient(LONG64 lConnectionId, BOOL bForced);
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_dropclient(void* lpObj, int64 lConnectionId, int bForced);
int DropClient(qint64 lConnectionId, bool bForced);

Remarks

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

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

ExportSettings Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* ExportSettings(int bSP);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR ExportSettings(BOOL bSP);
char* secureblackbox_samlspserver_exportsettings(void* lpObj, int bSP);
QString ExportSettings(bool bSP);

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 or IdPSettings object before calling this method. Assign MetaSigningCertificate to enforce signing of the metadata XML.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

GetClientBuffer Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Acquires a piece of operation data.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetClientBuffer(int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszHandle, int *lpSize = NULL);

Unicode (Windows)
LPSTR GetClientBuffer(LONG64 lConnectionID, LPCWSTR lpszHandle, LPINT lpSize = NULL);
char* secureblackbox_samlspserver_getclientbuffer(void* lpObj, int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszHandle, int *lpSize);
QByteArray GetClientBuffer(qint64 lConnectionID, const QString& qsHandle);

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 event handler, when implementing customized file transfers.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a Byte Array value (with length lpSize); after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

GetProviderProperty Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Returns the value of a custom provider property.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetProviderProperty(const char* lpszName);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetProviderProperty(LPCWSTR lpszName);
char* secureblackbox_samlspserver_getproviderproperty(void* lpObj, const char* lpszName);
QString GetProviderProperty(const QString& qsName);

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

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

GetRequestBytes Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetRequestBytes(int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszRequestFilter, int *lpSize = NULL);

Unicode (Windows)
LPSTR GetRequestBytes(LONG64 lConnectionID, LPCWSTR lpszRequestFilter, LPINT lpSize = NULL);
char* secureblackbox_samlspserver_getrequestbytes(void* lpObj, int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszRequestFilter, int *lpSize);
QByteArray GetRequestBytes(qint64 lConnectionID, const QString& qsRequestFilter);

Remarks

Use this method to get the body of the client's HTTP request. Note that the body of GET and HEAD requests is empty. The method returns the requested content.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a Byte Array value (with length lpSize); after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

GetRequestHeader Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Returns a request header value.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetRequestHeader(int64 lConnectionId, const char* lpszHeaderName);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetRequestHeader(LONG64 lConnectionId, LPCWSTR lpszHeaderName);
char* secureblackbox_samlspserver_getrequestheader(void* lpObj, int64 lConnectionId, const char* lpszHeaderName);
QString GetRequestHeader(qint64 lConnectionId, const QString& qsHeaderName);

Remarks

Use this method to get the value of a request header. A good place to call this method is a request-marking event, such as GetRequest or PostRequest.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

GetResponseHeader Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Returns a response header value.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetResponseHeader(int64 lConnectionId, const char* lpszHeaderName);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetResponseHeader(LONG64 lConnectionId, LPCWSTR lpszHeaderName);
char* secureblackbox_samlspserver_getresponseheader(void* lpObj, int64 lConnectionId, const char* lpszHeaderName);
QString GetResponseHeader(qint64 lConnectionId, const QString& qsHeaderName);

Remarks

Use this method to get the value of a response header. A good place to call this method is HeadersPrepared event. Call the method with empty HeaderName to get the whole response header.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

GetSessionProperty Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Returns the value of a custom session property.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetSessionProperty(const char* lpszSessionID, const char* lpszName);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetSessionProperty(LPCWSTR lpszSessionID, LPCWSTR lpszName);
char* secureblackbox_samlspserver_getsessionproperty(void* lpObj, const char* lpszSessionID, const char* lpszName);
QString GetSessionProperty(const QString& qsSessionID, const QString& qsName);

Remarks

This method, together with SetSessionProperty, 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 and SessionDestroyed 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:

  • AuthnRequestID: the AuthnRequest ID.
  • Expires: the web session expiration time.
  • LogoutRequestID: the LogoutRequest ID.
  • NameID: the NameID of the user.
  • NameIDFormat: the format of the NameID of the user.
  • FormattedNameID: the formatted version of the NameID.
  • RelayState: the current (last) relay state entry.
  • Session: the session ID (the same as you pass as parameter).
  • SessionIndex: a list 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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

ImportSettings Method (SAMLSPServer 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

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ImportSettings(const char* lpszMetadata, int bSP);

Unicode (Windows)
INT ImportSettings(LPCWSTR lpszMetadata, BOOL bSP);
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_importsettings(void* lpObj, const char* lpszMetadata, int bSP);
int ImportSettings(const QString& qsMetadata, bool bSP);

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 or IdPSettings object (depending on the value of the SP parameter).

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

InitiateArtifactResolve Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Initiates the artifact resolution protocol.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int InitiateArtifactResolve(int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszSessionID, int iIdPServiceIndex, const char* lpszArtifact, const char* lpszTag);

Unicode (Windows)
INT InitiateArtifactResolve(LONG64 lConnectionID, LPCWSTR lpszSessionID, INT iIdPServiceIndex, LPCWSTR lpszArtifact, LPCWSTR lpszTag);
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_initiateartifactresolve(void* lpObj, int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszSessionID, int iIdPServiceIndex, const char* lpszArtifact, const char* lpszTag);
int InitiateArtifactResolve(qint64 lConnectionID, const QString& qsSessionID, int iIdPServiceIndex, const QString& qsArtifact, const QString& qsTag);

Remarks

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

sprUnknown0Unknown or undefined processing result

sprSuccess1The 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).

sprSAMLMessage2The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party.

sprSignOnPage3The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains or redirects to a SAML login page.

sprResource4The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains, or redirects to, a generic web resource.

sprSAMLError5The 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.

sprTransportError6The 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.

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

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns an Integer value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

InitiateAttributeQuery Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Initiates the attribute query.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int InitiateAttributeQuery(int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszSessionID, int iIdPServiceIndex, const char* lpszNameID, const char* lpszNameIDFormat, const char* lpszAttributes, const char* lpszAttrNameFormats, const char* lpszAttrFriendlyNames, const char* lpszTag);

Unicode (Windows)
INT InitiateAttributeQuery(LONG64 lConnectionID, LPCWSTR lpszSessionID, INT iIdPServiceIndex, LPCWSTR lpszNameID, LPCWSTR lpszNameIDFormat, LPCWSTR lpszAttributes, LPCWSTR lpszAttrNameFormats, LPCWSTR lpszAttrFriendlyNames, LPCWSTR lpszTag);
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_initiateattributequery(void* lpObj, int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszSessionID, int iIdPServiceIndex, const char* lpszNameID, const char* lpszNameIDFormat, const char* lpszAttributes, const char* lpszAttrNameFormats, const char* lpszAttrFriendlyNames, const char* lpszTag);
int InitiateAttributeQuery(qint64 lConnectionID, const QString& qsSessionID, int iIdPServiceIndex, const QString& qsNameID, const QString& qsNameIDFormat, const QString& qsAttributes, const QString& qsAttrNameFormats, const QString& qsAttrFriendlyNames, const QString& qsTag);

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.

sprUnknown0Unknown or undefined processing result

sprSuccess1The 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).

sprSAMLError5The 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.

sprTransportError6The 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.

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

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns an Integer value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

InitiateAuth Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Starts SP-initiated SAML authentication flow.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int InitiateAuth(int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszSessionID, int iIdPServiceIndex, const char* lpszNameIDFormat, const char* lpszRelayState, const char* lpszTag);

Unicode (Windows)
INT InitiateAuth(LONG64 lConnectionID, LPCWSTR lpszSessionID, INT iIdPServiceIndex, LPCWSTR lpszNameIDFormat, LPCWSTR lpszRelayState, LPCWSTR lpszTag);
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_initiateauth(void* lpObj, int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszSessionID, int iIdPServiceIndex, const char* lpszNameIDFormat, const char* lpszRelayState, const char* lpszTag);
int InitiateAuth(qint64 lConnectionID, const QString& qsSessionID, int iIdPServiceIndex, const QString& qsNameIDFormat, const QString& qsRelayState, const QString& qsTag);

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 event. This event fires independently of the processing outcome (success or failure), and contains the same ConnectionID that is passed to this call.

sprUnknown0Unknown or undefined processing result

sprSuccess1The 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).

sprSAMLMessage2The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party.

sprSignOnPage3The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains or redirects to a SAML login page.

sprResource4The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains, or redirects to, a generic web resource.

sprSAMLError5The 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.

sprTransportError6The 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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns an Integer value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

InitiateLogout Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Starts SP-initiated SAML logout flow.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int InitiateLogout(int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszSessionID, int iIdPServiceIndex, const char* lpszNameID, const char* lpszSessionIndex, const char* lpszRelayState, const char* lpszTag);

Unicode (Windows)
INT InitiateLogout(LONG64 lConnectionID, LPCWSTR lpszSessionID, INT iIdPServiceIndex, LPCWSTR lpszNameID, LPCWSTR lpszSessionIndex, LPCWSTR lpszRelayState, LPCWSTR lpszTag);
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_initiatelogout(void* lpObj, int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszSessionID, int iIdPServiceIndex, const char* lpszNameID, const char* lpszSessionIndex, const char* lpszRelayState, const char* lpszTag);
int InitiateLogout(qint64 lConnectionID, const QString& qsSessionID, int iIdPServiceIndex, const QString& qsNameID, const QString& qsSessionIndex, const QString& qsRelayState, const QString& qsTag);

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 event. This event fires independently of the processing outcome (success or failure), and contains the same ConnectionID that is passed to this call.

sprUnknown0Unknown or undefined processing result

sprSuccess1The 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).

sprSAMLMessage2The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party.

sprSignOnPage3The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains or redirects to a SAML login page.

sprResource4The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains, or redirects to, a generic web resource.

sprSAMLError5The 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.

sprTransportError6The 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.

You can use this method with or without the OfflineMode.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns an Integer value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

ListClients Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Enumerates the connected clients.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* ListClients();

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR ListClients();
char* secureblackbox_samlspserver_listclients(void* lpObj);
QString 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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

PinClient Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Takes a snapshot of the connection's properties.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)

int PinClient(qint64 lConnectionId);

Remarks

Use this method to take a snapshot of a connected client. The captured properties are populated in PinnedClient and PinnedClientChain properties.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

ProcessArtifact Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ProcessArtifact(int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszSessionID, const char* lpszRequest, const char* lpszTag);

Unicode (Windows)
INT ProcessArtifact(LONG64 lConnectionID, LPCWSTR lpszSessionID, LPCWSTR lpszRequest, LPCWSTR lpszTag);
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_processartifact(void* lpObj, int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszSessionID, const char* lpszRequest, const char* lpszTag);
int ProcessArtifact(qint64 lConnectionID, const QString& qsSessionID, const QString& qsRequest, const QString& qsTag);

Remarks

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

Artifact messages are typically very simple:

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 event, and, later on, of an event matching the type of the actual message received - such as AssertionReceived.

sprUnknown0Unknown or undefined processing result

sprSuccess1The 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).

char* secureblackbox_samlspserver_processgenericrequest(void* lpObj, int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpRequest, int lenRequest, int *lpSize);
QByteArray ProcessGenericRequest(qint64 lConnectionID, QByteArray qbaRequest);

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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a Byte Array value (with length lpSize); after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

ProcessLogoutRequest Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ProcessLogoutRequest(int64 lConnectionID, const char* lpszSessionID, const char* lpszRequest, const char* lpszTag);

Unicode (Windows)
INT ProcessLogoutRequest(LONG64 lConnectionID, LPCWSTR lpszSessionID, LPCWSTR lpszRequest, LPCWSTR lpszTag);

int ProcessLogoutRequest(qint64 lConnectionID, const QString& qsSessionID, const QString& qsRequest, const QString& qsTag);

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 event. This event fires independently of the processing outcome (success or failure), and contains the same ConnectionID that is passed to this call.

sprUnknown0Unknown or undefined processing result

sprSuccess1The 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).

sprSAMLMessage2The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party.

int secureblackbox_samlspserver_setproviderproperty(void* lpObj, const char* lpszName, const char* lpszValue);
int SetProviderProperty(const QString& qsName, const QString& qsValue);

Remarks

This method, together with GetProviderProperty, 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

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

SetResponseHeader Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

SetSessionProperty Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Sets the value of a custom provider session property.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int SetSessionProperty(const char* lpszSessionID, const char* lpszName, const char* lpszValue);

Unicode (Windows)
INT SetSessionProperty(LPCWSTR lpszSessionID, LPCWSTR lpszName, LPCWSTR lpszValue);
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_setsessionproperty(void* lpObj, const char* lpszSessionID, const char* lpszName, const char* lpszValue);
int SetSessionProperty(const QString& qsSessionID, const QString& qsName, const QString& qsValue);

Remarks

This method, together with GetSessionProperty, 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).
  • 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.

Note: setting a session property invokes a call to SessionStateSave. 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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Start Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Starts the SP server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Start();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Start();
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_start(void* lpObj);
int Start();

Remarks

Use this method to start listening for incoming connections.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Stop Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Stops the IdP server.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Stop();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Stop();
int secureblackbox_samlspserver_stop(void* lpObj);
int Stop();

Remarks

Call this method to stop listening for incoming connections.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Accept Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Reports an incoming connection.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireAccept(SAMLSPServerAcceptEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *RemoteAddress;
int RemotePort;
int Accept; int reserved; } SAMLSPServerAcceptEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireAccept(SAMLSPServerAcceptEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR RemoteAddress;
INT RemotePort;
BOOL Accept; INT reserved; } SAMLSPServerAcceptEventParams;
#define EID_SAMLSPSERVER_ACCEPT 1

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireAccept(LPSTR &lpszRemoteAddress, INT &iRemotePort, BOOL &bAccept);
class SAMLSPServerAcceptEventParams {
public:
  const QString &RemoteAddress();

  int RemotePort();

  bool Accept();
  void SetAccept(bool bAccept);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Accept(SAMLSPServerAcceptEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireAccept(SAMLSPServerAcceptEventParams *e) {...}

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 event to be notified of every connection that has been set up.

ArtifactReceived Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireArtifactReceived(SAMLSPServerArtifactReceivedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *SessionID;
const char *RequestID;
const char *Issuer;
const char *Artifact;
int Action; int reserved; } SAMLSPServerArtifactReceivedEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireArtifactReceived(SAMLSPServerArtifactReceivedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LONG64 ConnectionID;
LPCWSTR SessionID;
LPCWSTR RequestID;
LPCWSTR Issuer;
LPCWSTR Artifact;
INT Action; INT reserved; } SAMLSPServerArtifactReceivedEventParams;
#define EID_SAMLSPSERVER_ARTIFACTRECEIVED 2

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireArtifactReceived(LONG64 &lConnectionID, LPSTR &lpszSessionID, LPSTR &lpszRequestID, LPSTR &lpszIssuer, LPSTR &lpszArtifact, INT &iAction);
class SAMLSPServerArtifactReceivedEventParams {
public:
  qint64 ConnectionID();

  const QString &SessionID();

  const QString &RequestID();

  const QString &Issuer();

  const QString &Artifact();

  int Action();
  void SetAction(int iAction);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ArtifactReceived(SAMLSPServerArtifactReceivedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireArtifactReceived(SAMLSPServerArtifactReceivedEventParams *e) {...}

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 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.

In OfflineMode this event would typically be fired from ProcessArtifact call.

ArtifactResolveRequestPrepared Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireArtifactResolveRequestPrepared(SAMLSPServerArtifactResolveRequestPreparedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *SessionID;
const char *RequestID;
const char *Destination;

// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireArtifactResolveRequestReceived(SAMLSPServerArtifactResolveRequestReceivedEventParams *e) {...}

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:

fraAuto1Handle the requested action automatically by the server

fraCustom2Override the action using the user code logic

fraAbort3Abort the requested action

AssertionReceived Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void AssertionReceived(SAMLSPServerAssertionReceivedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireAssertionReceived(SAMLSPServerAssertionReceivedEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The AssertionReceived event notifies the application that an assertion has been received at the ACS endpoint. In OfflineMode this event may fire in response to a ProcessAssertion 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:

fraAuto1Handle the requested action automatically by the server

fraCustom2Override the action using the user code logic

fraAbort3Abort 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 call.

AttributeQueryPrepared Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireAttributeQueryPrepared(SAMLSPServerAttributeQueryPreparedEventParams *e) {...}

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 call (in offline mode), or intermittently in online mode.

AuthnRequestPrepared Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireAuthnRequestPrepared(SAMLSPServerAuthnRequestPreparedEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireAuthnRequestPrepared(SAMLSPServerAuthnRequestPreparedEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to get notified about assertion requests prepared by the service provider. This event may fire from InitiateAuth method when working in OfflineMode, 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 Class)

};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Connect(SAMLSPServerConnectEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireConnect(SAMLSPServerConnectEventParams *e) {...}

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 Class)

Fires to report a disconnected client.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireDisconnect(SAMLSPServerDisconnectEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID; int reserved; } SAMLSPServerDisconnectEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireDisconnect(SAMLSPServerDisconnectEventParams *e);

Encrypted Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireEncrypted(SAMLSPServerEncryptedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *SessionID;
const char *RequestID;

#define EID_SAMLSPSERVER_ENCRYPTED 10

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireEncrypted(LONG64 &lConnectionID, LPSTR &lpszSessionID, LPSTR &lpszRequestID, LPSTR &lpszIssuerRDN, LPSTR &lpSerialNumber, INT &lenSerialNumber, LPSTR &lpSubjectKeyID, INT &lenSubjectKeyID, BOOL &bNeedCredential, BOOL &bSkipThis);
class SAMLSPServerEncryptedEventParams {
public:

  const QString &SessionID();

  const QString &RequestID();

  const QString &IssuerRDN();

  const QByteArray &SerialNumber();

  const QByteArray &SubjectKeyID();

  bool NeedCredential();

  bool SkipThis();
  void SetSkipThis(bool bSkipThis);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Encrypted(SAMLSPServerEncryptedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireEncrypted(SAMLSPServerEncryptedEventParams *e) {...}

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 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 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 Class)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireError(SAMLSPServerErrorEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *SessionID;

  const QString &SessionID();

  int ErrorCode();

  bool Fatal();

  bool Remote();

  const QString &Description();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Error(SAMLSPServerErrorEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireError(SAMLSPServerErrorEventParams *e) {...}

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 Class)

Handles remote or external signing initiated by the server protocol.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireExternalSign(SAMLSPServerExternalSignEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *OperationId;
const char *HashAlgorithm;
const char *Pars;
const char *Data;
char *SignedData; int reserved; } SAMLSPServerExternalSignEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireExternalSign(SAMLSPServerExternalSignEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LONG64 ConnectionID;
LPCWSTR OperationId;
LPCWSTR HashAlgorithm;
LPCWSTR Pars;
LPCWSTR Data;
LPWSTR SignedData; INT reserved; } SAMLSPServerExternalSignEventParams;
#define EID_SAMLSPSERVER_EXTERNALSIGN 12

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireExternalSign(LONG64 &lConnectionID, LPSTR &lpszOperationId, LPSTR &lpszHashAlgorithm, LPSTR &lpszPars, LPSTR &lpszData, LPSTR &lpszSignedData);
class SAMLSPServerExternalSignEventParams {
public:
  qint64 ConnectionID();

  const QString &OperationId();

  const QString &HashAlgorithm();

  const QString &Pars();

  const QString &Data();

  const QString &SignedData();
  void SetSignedData(const QString &qsSignedData);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ExternalSign(SAMLSPServerExternalSignEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireExternalSign(SAMLSPServerExternalSignEventParams *e) {...}

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: 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 Class)

// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireLogoutRequestPrepared(SAMLSPServerLogoutRequestPreparedEventParams *e) {...}

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 Class)

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:

fraAuto1Handle the requested action automatically by the server

fraCustom2Override the action using the user code logic

fraAbort3Abort the requested action

Notification Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireNotification(SAMLSPServerNotificationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *EventID;
const char *EventParam; int reserved; } SAMLSPServerNotificationEventParams;

};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void Notification(SAMLSPServerNotificationEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireNotification(SAMLSPServerNotificationEventParams *e) {...}

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:

SAMLResponderErrorTBD
SAMLSessionLogoutTBD
ListeningStartedNotifies the application that the server has started listening for incoming connections.
ListeningStoppedNotifies the application that the server has stopped listening to incoming connections.

ProcessingCompleted Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireProcessingCompleted(SAMLSPServerProcessingCompletedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *SessionID;
const char *Tag;
int ProcessingResult;
const char *Response;

  const QString &SessionID();

  const QString &Tag();

  int ProcessingResult();

  const QString &Response();

  bool Redirect();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ProcessingCompleted(SAMLSPServerProcessingCompletedEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireProcessingCompleted(SAMLSPServerProcessingCompletedEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The component fires ProcessingCompleted to notify the application about completion of an earlier initiated processing operation. It is only fired in OfflineMode in response to calls such as ProcessAssertion, ProcessLogoutRequest, 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 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.

sprUnknown0Unknown or undefined processing result

sprSuccess1The 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).

sprSAMLMessage2The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains a new SAML message that needs to be conveyed to the other SAML party.

sprSignOnPage3The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains or redirects to a SAML login page.

sprResource4The processing was fully or partially successful. The output contains, or redirects to, a generic web resource.

sprSAMLError5The 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.

sprTransportError6The 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 Class)

Requests content identified by an artifact from the application.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireReadArtifact(SAMLSPServerReadArtifactEventParams *e);
typedef struct {

  const QString &Value();
  void SetValue(const QString &qsValue);

  bool Skip();
  void SetSkip(bool bSkip);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ReadArtifact(SAMLSPServerReadArtifactEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireReadArtifact(SAMLSPServerReadArtifactEventParams *e) {...}

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 Class)

Tells the application that it can close the opened resource.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireResourceClose(SAMLSPServerResourceCloseEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *SessionID;
const char *Handle; int reserved; } SAMLSPServerResourceCloseEventParams;

  const QString &SessionID();

  const QString &Handle();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ResourceClose(SAMLSPServerResourceCloseEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireResourceClose(SAMLSPServerResourceCloseEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

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

ResourceOpen Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Requests the application to open the requested resource.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireResourceOpen(SAMLSPServerResourceOpenEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *SessionID;
const char *URL;
const char *HttpMethod;

  int OperationStatus();
  void SetOperationStatus(int iOperationStatus);

  const QString &Handle();
  void SetHandle(const QString &qsHandle);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ResourceOpen(SAMLSPServerResourceOpenEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireResourceOpen(SAMLSPServerResourceOpenEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The class 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:

ostOk1
ostNoSuchFile2
ostAccessDenied3
ostWriteProtect4
ostUnsupported5
ostInvalidParameter6
ostEOF7

ResourceRead Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Requests the application to read from an opened resource.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireResourceRead(SAMLSPServerResourceReadEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *SessionID;
const char *Handle;
int Size;
int OperationStatus; int reserved; } SAMLSPServerResourceReadEventParams;

#define EID_SAMLSPSERVER_RESOURCEREAD 22

virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireResourceRead(LONG64 &lConnectionID, LPSTR &lpszSessionID, LPSTR &lpszHandle, INT &iSize, INT &iOperationStatus);
class SAMLSPServerResourceReadEventParams {
public:
  qint64 ConnectionID();

  const QString &SessionID();

  const QString &Handle();

  int Size();

  int OperationStatus();
  void SetOperationStatus(int iOperationStatus);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ResourceRead(SAMLSPServerResourceReadEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireResourceRead(SAMLSPServerResourceReadEventParams *e) {...}

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 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:

ostOk1
ostNoSuchFile2
ostAccessDenied3
ostWriteProtect4
ostUnsupported5
ostInvalidParameter6
ostEOF7

ResourceRequest Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Notifies the application that a server resource is requested.

  const QString &HttpMethod();

  bool ResProtected();
  void SetResProtected(bool bResProtected);

  bool ResSpecial();
  void SetResSpecial(bool bResSpecial);

  bool AllowWriting();
  void SetAllowWriting(bool bAllowWriting);

  int Action();
  void SetAction(int iAction);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ResourceRequest(SAMLSPServerResourceRequestEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireResourceRequest(SAMLSPServerResourceRequestEventParams *e) {...}

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:

fraAuto1Handle the requested action automatically by the server

fraCustom2Override the action using the user code logic

fraAbort3Abort the requested action

ResourceWrite Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Requests the application to write to an opened resource.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireResourceWrite(SAMLSPServerResourceWriteEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;
const char *SessionID;
const char *Handle;
int OperationStatus; int reserved; } SAMLSPServerResourceWriteEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireResourceWrite(SAMLSPServerResourceWriteEventParams *e);
typedef struct {

  const QString &SessionID();

  const QString &Handle();

  int OperationStatus();
  void SetOperationStatus(int iOperationStatus);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void ResourceWrite(SAMLSPServerResourceWriteEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireResourceWrite(SAMLSPServerResourceWriteEventParams *e) {...}

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 method and write them to the opened file descriptor.

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

ostOk1
ostNoSuchFile2
ostAccessDenied3
ostWriteProtect4
ostUnsupported5
ostInvalidParameter6
ostEOF7

SAMLMessagePrepared Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSAMLMessagePrepared(SAMLSPServerSAMLMessagePreparedEventParams *e) {...}

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.

// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSessionInfoNeeded(SAMLSPServerSessionInfoNeededEventParams *e) {...}

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 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 : 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 multiple times for the same SessionID. If this happens, the existing SessionID entry should be overwritten with the fresh session data.
  • SessionStateRetrieve : 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 but passes an empty SessionID as a parameter.
  • SessionDestroyed is called when a session is destroyed. The component can remove the session from the hash table upon receiving this event.

SessionStateRetrieve Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSessionStateRetrieve(SAMLSPServerSessionStateRetrieveEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int64 ConnectionID;

// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSessionStateRetrieve(SAMLSPServerSessionStateRetrieveEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The component fires this event to request a session state that was previously provided to the application via the SessionStateSave call.

See the SessionInfoNeeded topic for more details about session management in offline mode.

SessionStateSave Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSessionStateSave(SAMLSPServerSessionStateSaveEventParams *e) {...}

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 call.

See the SessionInfoNeeded topic for more details about session management in offline mode.

// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSignatureFound(SAMLSPServerSignatureFoundEventParams *e) {...}

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.

sssUnknown0The scope of signature is unknown

sssMessage1The signature covers the entire SAML message

sssAssertion2The signature covers an assertion

sssBinding3The signature covers the binding

The details of the reported signature are populated in the Security 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 property and the associated certificates from the Certificates collection, and pass them to the CertificateValidator component to validate its chain.

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

SignatureValidated Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSignatureValidated(SAMLSPServerSignatureValidatedEventParams *e) {...}

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.

sssUnknown0The scope of signature is unknown

sssMessage1The signature covers the entire SAML message

sssAssertion2The signature covers an assertion

sssBinding3The 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:
svtValid0The signature is valid

svtUnknown1Signature validity is unknown

svtCorrupted2The signature is corrupted

svtSignerNotFound3Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated.

svtFailure4General failure

svtReferenceCorrupted5Reference corrupted (XML-based signatures only)

// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireTLSPSK(SAMLSPServerTLSPSKEventParams *e) {...}

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 Class)

// Or, subclass SAMLSPServer and override this emitter function. virtual int FireUserLogoutStart(SAMLSPServerUserLogoutStartEventParams *e) {...}

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 method, ProcessLogoutRequest 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 event. Note that the UserLogoutCompleted 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 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.

Certificate Type

Encapsulates an individual X.509 certificate.

Syntax

SecureBlackboxCertificate (declared in secureblackbox.h)

Remarks

This type keeps and provides access to X.509 certificate details.

The following fields are available:

Fields

Bytes
char* (read-only)

Default Value:

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

CA
int

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.

char* (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 generates this setting automatically if enough information is available to it: for self-signed certificates, this value is copied from the 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 object.

A Certificate 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 class to load or create new certificate and certificate requests objects.

CRLDistributionPoints
char*

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
char*

Default Value: ""

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

Fingerprint
char* (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
char* (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.

Handle
int64

Default Value: 0

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object. Use this property to assign objects of the same type in a quicker manner, without copying them fieldwise.

When you pass a handle of one object to another, the source object is copied to the destination rather than assigned. It is safe to get rid of the original object after such operation. pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());

HashAlgorithm
char*

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 to find out the hash algorithm that is part of the certificate signature.

Issuer
char* (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.

IssuerRDN
char*

Default Value: ""

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

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

Use the KeyBits, Curve, and 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 or PrivateKeyBytes field would typically contain auxiliary values, and therefore be longer.

KeyFingerprint
char* (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 field. The key fingeprint 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:

ckuUnknown0x00000Unknown key usage

ckuDigitalSignature0x00001Digital signature

ckuNonRepudiation0x00002Non-repudiation

ckuKeyEncipherment0x00004Key encipherment

ckuCodeSigning0x00800Code signing

ckuEmailProtection0x01000Email protection

ckuTimeStamping0x02000Timestamping

ckuOCSPSigning0x04000OCSP signing

ckuSmartCardLogon0x08000Smartcard logon

ckuKeyPurposeClientAuth0x10000Kerberos - client authentication

ckuKeyPurposeKDC0x20000Kerberos - KDC

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

KeyValid
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

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

OCSPLocations
char*

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 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
int

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
char*

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
char* (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
int (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, 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
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).

PublicKeyBytes
char* (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
int (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
char* (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
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

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

SerialNumber
char*

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
char* (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
char* (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.

SubjectAlternativeName
char*

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 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
char*

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 and 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
char*

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
int (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
char*

Default Value: ""

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

ValidTo
char*

Default Value: ""

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

Constructors

Certificate()

Creates a new object with default field values.

Bits
int (read-only)

Default Value: 0

The length of the key in bits.

Curve
char*

Default Value: ""

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

Exportable
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

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

Fingerprint
char* (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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

Handle
int64

Default Value: 0

Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object. Use this property to assign objects of the same type in a quicker manner, without copying them fieldwise.

When you pass a handle of one object to another, the source object is copied to the destination rather than assigned. It is safe to get rid of the original object after such operation. pdfSigner.setSigningCertHandle(certMgr.getCertHandle());

ID
char*

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
char*

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.

Key
char* (read-only)

Default Value:

The byte array representation of the key. This may not be available for non-Exportable keys.

Nonce
char*

Default Value:

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

Private
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

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

Public
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

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

Subject
char*

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
int (read-only)

Default Value: FALSE

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

Valid
int (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.

Constructors

CryptoKey()

Creates an empty crypto key object.

ExternalCrypto Type

Specifies the parameters of external cryptographic calls.

Syntax

SecureBlackboxExternalCrypto (declared in secureblackbox.h)

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:

Fields

AsyncDocumentID
char*

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
char*

Default Value: ""

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

Data
char*

Default Value: ""

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

ExternalHashCalculation
int

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
char*

Default Value: "SHA256"

Specifies the request's signature hash algorithm.

SB_HASH_ALGORITHM_SHAKE_256_LENSHAKE_256_LEN

KeyID
char*

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 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";

KeySecret
char*

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 topic.

Method
int

Default Value: 0

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

Available options:

asmdPKCS10
asmdPKCS71

Mode
int

Default Value: 0

Specifies the external cryptography mode.

Available options:

ecmDefaultThe default value (0)
ecmDisabledDo not use DC or external signing (1)
ecmGenericGeneric external signing with the OnExternalSign event (2)
ecmDCAuthDCAuth signing (3)
ecmDCAuthJSONDCAuth signing in JSON format (4)

PublicKeyAlgorithm
char*

Default Value: ""

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

Constructors

ExternalCrypto()

Creates a new ExternalCrypto object with default field values.

SAMLEntity Type

Represents SAML entity details.

Syntax

SecureBlackboxSAMLEntity (declared in secureblackbox.h)

Remarks

This type is a container for SAML SP or IdP entity parameters. These are often referred to as service metadata.

The following fields are available:

Fields

ContactPerson
char*

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:

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
char*

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
char*

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
char*

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
char*

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
char*

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
char*

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
char*

Default Value: ""

The language preferred by the organization.

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

OrganizationName
char*

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
char*

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:

svtValid0The signature is valid

svtUnknown1Signature validity is unknown

svtCorrupted2The signature is corrupted

svtSignerNotFound3Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated.

svtFailure4General failure

svtReferenceCorrupted5Reference corrupted (XML-based signatures only)

Signed
int (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
char* (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 setting.

SigningKey
char*

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
char*

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

SAMLEntity()

Creates a new SAMLEntity object.

SAMLSecuritySettings Type

Represents SAML security settings for the message being viewed/edited.

Syntax

SecureBlackboxSAMLSecuritySettings (declared in secureblackbox.h)

Remarks

This type is a container for SAML security parameters.

The following fields are available:

Fields

CanonicalizationMethod
char*

Default Value: ""

The canonicalization method to use in the signature.

The URI of the canonicalization method to use in the signature (e.g. http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-exc-c14n/)

DigestMethod
char*

Default Value: ""

The digest method to use.

The URI of the digest method to use for signing, as defined in XMLDSIG or XMLENC: http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#sha256.

EncryptionMethod
char*

Default Value: "AES256"

The encryption method used to encrypt the assertion.

This property contains the encryption algorithm used to encrypt the XML assertion.

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
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.

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.

SSLOptions

SecureBlackboxList Type

Syntax

SecureBlackboxList<T> (declared in secureblackbox.h)

Remarks

SecureBlackboxList is a generic class that is used to hold a collection of objects of type T, where T is one of the custom types supported by the SAMLSPServer class.

Methods

GetCount This method returns the current size of the collection.

int GetCount() {}

SetCount This method sets the size of the collection. This method returns 0 if setting the size was successful; or -1 if the collection is ReadOnly. When adding additional objects to a collection call this method to specify the new size. Increasing the size of the collection preserves existing objects in the collection.

int SetCount(int count) {}

Get This method gets the item at the specified position. The index parameter specifies the index of the item in the collection. This method returns NULL if an invalid index is specified.

T* Get(int index) {}

Set This method sets the item at the specified position. The index parameter specifies the index of the item in the collection that is being set. This method returns -1 if an invalid index is specified. Note: Objects created using the new operator must be freed using the delete operator; they will not be automatically freed by the class.

T* Set(int index, T* value) {}

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.

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.

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 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 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 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 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).

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.

Trappable Errors (SAMLSPServer Class)

Error Handling (C++)

Call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain the last called method's result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. Known error codes are listed below. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
