The SAMLWriter class offers SAML message generation functions.
Syntax
SAMLWriter
Remarks
SAMLWriter provides means of serialization of SAML entities into valid SAML protocol messages. Together with SAMLReader, this class provides fine-grained access to the composition of SAML requests, responses, assertions, and statements. You can use it as part of your SAML client or SAML server implementation for creating individual SAML entities.
SAMLReader and SAMLWriter are independent of SAML server controls that are also included in SecureBlackbox, and are aimed at scenarios that require lower-level access to SAML functionality than that provided by the server controls.
SAMLWriter can create the following kinds of SAML messages:
- AssertionIDRequest
- SubjectQuery
- AuthnQuery
- AttributeQuery
- AuthzDecisionQuery
- AuthnRequest
- ManageNameIDRequest
- LogoutRequest
- NameIDMappingRequest
- ArtifactResolve
- Response
Please find below a quick-and-dirty example of the use of SAMLWriter class for creating a signed AuthnRequest message:
Samlwriter writer = new Samlwriter();
// configuring general message properties
writer.Destination = "http://destination-url.com";
writer.IssueInstant = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ");
writer.Issuer = "Value=https://issuer-url.com;Format=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:entity;IDType=Issuer";
// configuring general AuthnRequest properties
writer.AuthnRequest.IsPassive = false;
writer.AuthnRequest.UseIsPassive = true;
writer.AuthnRequest.ForceAuthn = true;
writer.AuthnRequest.ProtocolBinding = "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST";
writer.AuthnRequest.AssertionConsumerServiceURL = "https://assertion-consumer-url.com";
writer.AuthnRequest.AttributeConsumingServiceIndex = 1;
writer.AuthnRequest.NameIDPolicyAllowCreate = false;
writer.AuthnRequest.NameIDPolicyFormat = "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent";
writer.AuthnRequest.ConditionsNotBefore = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ");
writer.AuthnRequest.ConditionsNotOnOrAfter = DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(30).ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ");
// adjusting request conditions if required
SAMLAssertionCondition cond = new SAMLAssertionCondition();
cond.ConditionType = SAMLConditionTypes.csctOneTimeUse;
writer.AuthnRequestConditions.Add(cond);
// configuring signing properties
Certificate certificate = new Certificate("C:\\Certs\\samlCert.pfx", "password");
writer.Sign = true;
writer.SigningCertificate = certificate;
// creating the SAML entity of the required type
writer.CreateNew((int)SamlwriterOutputTypes.cstyAuthnRequest);
// adjusting low-level signature parameters
writer.Config("SigDigestMethod=http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#sha256");
writer.Config("SigMethod=http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#rsa-sha256");
// signing the request and serializing it to XML
string request = writer.Save();
The above code produces the following AuthnRequest:

Data Type
SecureBlackboxSAMLSubjectConfirmation
AddAttribute Method (SAMLWriter Class)
Adds an attribute to an existing attribute statement.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int AddAttribute(const char* lpszAttributeName, const char* lpszAttributeValue, const char* lpszNameFormat, const char* lpszContentType, int iStatementIndex); Unicode (Windows) INT AddAttribute(LPCWSTR lpszAttributeName, LPCWSTR lpszAttributeValue, LPCWSTR lpszNameFormat, LPCWSTR lpszContentType, INT iStatementIndex);
int secureblackbox_samlwriter_addattribute(void* lpObj, const char* lpszAttributeName, const char* lpszAttributeValue, const char* lpszNameFormat, const char* lpszContentType, int iStatementIndex);
int AddAttribute(const QString& qsAttributeName, const QString& qsAttributeValue, const QString& qsNameFormat, const QString& qsContentType, int iStatementIndex);
Remarks
Use this method to add an attribute to an attribute statement. The method returns the index of the newly added attribute in the statement.
Use the method parameters to provide the parameters of the new attribute:
<saml:Attribute
Name="uid" <!-- AttributeName -->
NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:basic" <!-- NameFormat -->
>
<saml:AttributeValue xsi:type="xs:string" <!-- ContentType --> >test <!-- AttributeValue --> </saml:AttributeValue>
</saml:Attribute>
</code>
Note: if StatementIndex is set to -1, the attribute will be added to the last attribute statement in the collection. If no attribute statements are available in the collection, one will be created automatically.
If StatementIndex exceeds the index of the last statement in the Statements collection, a new attribute statement will be created (even if there are other attribute statements in the list), and the attribute added to it.
If StatementIndex points to an existing statement but that statement is not an attribute statement, an exception will be thrown.
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.

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.

#define EID_SAMLWRITER_NOTIFICATION 2 virtual INT SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL FireNotification(LPSTR &lpszEventID, LPSTR &lpszEventParam);
class SAMLWriterNotificationEventParams { public: const QString &EventID(); const QString &EventParam(); int EventRetVal(); void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal); };

// Or, subclass SAMLWriter and override this emitter function. virtual int FireNotification(SAMLWriterNotificationEventParams *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.
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.
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.
CAKeyID
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

char*
Default Value: "0"
Specifies the public key algorithm of this certificate.

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

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

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 SAMLWriter 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.

SecureBlackboxStream Type
Syntax
SecureBlackboxStream (declared in secureblackbox.h)
Remarks
The SAMLWriter class includes one or more API members that take a stream object as a parameter. To use such API members, create a concrete class that implements the SecureBlackboxStream interface and pass the SAMLWriter class an instance of that concrete class.
When implementing the SecureBlackboxStream interface's properties and methods, they must behave as described below. If the concrete class's implementation does not behave as expected, undefined behavior may occur.
Properties | |
CanRead |
Whether the stream supports reading.
bool CanRead() { return true; } |
CanSeek |
Whether the stream supports seeking.
bool CanSeek() { return true; } |
CanWrite |
Whether the stream supports writing.
bool CanWrite() { return true; } |
Length |
Gets the length of the stream, in bytes.
int64 GetLength() = 0; |
Methods | |
Close |
Closes the stream, releasing all resources currently allocated for it.
void Close() {} This method is called automatically when a SecureBlackboxStream object is deleted. |
Flush |
Forces all data held by the stream's buffers to be written out to storage.
int Flush() { return 0; } Must return 0 if flushing is successful; or -1 if an error occurs or the stream is closed. If the stream does not support writing, this method must do nothing and return 0. |
Read |
Reads a sequence of bytes from the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes read.
int Read(void* buffer, int count) = 0; Buffer specifies the buffer to populate with data from the stream. Count specifies the number of bytes that should be read from the stream. Must return the total number of bytes read into Buffer; this may be less than Count if that many bytes are not currently available, or 0 if the end of the stream has been reached. Must return -1 if an error occurs, if reading is not supported, or if the stream is closed. |
Seek |
Sets the current position within the stream based on a particular point of origin.
int64 Seek(int64 offset, int seekOrigin) = 0; Offset specifies the offset in the stream to seek to, relative to SeekOrigin. Valid values for SeekOrigin are:
Must return the new position within the stream; or -1 if an error occurs, if seeking is not supported, or if the stream is closed (however, see note below). If -1 is returned, the current position within the stream must remain unchanged. Note: If the stream is not closed, it must always be possible to call this method with an Offset of 0 and a SeekOrigin of 1 to obtain the current position within the stream, even if seeking is not otherwise supported. |
Write |
Writes a sequence of bytes to the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes written.
int Write(const void* buffer, int count) = 0; Buffer specifies the buffer with data to write to the stream. Count specifies the number of bytes that should be written to the stream. Must return the total number of bytes written to the stream; this may be less than Count if that many bytes could not be written. Must return -1 if an error occurs, if writing is not supported, or if the stream is closed. |
Config Settings (SAMLWriter Class)
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.SAMLWriter Config Settings
