The SAMLSPServer class represents a SAML service provider.

Syntax

secureblackbox.SAMLSPServer

Remarks

The Service Provider in the SAML exchange flow represents the web server that receives and accepts authentication assertions issued by the Identity Provider for single sign-on (SSO). Most commonly, an SP server is part of the application responsible for communicating with an Identity Provider to establish the authenticity of application users.

SAMLSPServer provides easy means of integrating the SAML Service Provider functionality into your application. It presents a fully-features SP endpoint with its own HTTP(S) and assertion validation engines.

Please find below a step-by-step guide on setting up your own SAML SP endpoint.

  • Register the IdP metadata using the 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.

Syntax


public CertificateList getKnownCertificates();


public void setKnownCertificates(CertificateList knownCertificates);

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.

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.

AddIdPService Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Registers an IdP service in the IdPServices list.

Syntax

public void addIdPService(int service, int bindingType, String location, int priority, int index);

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.

AddSPService Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Registers an SP service in the SPServices list.

Syntax

public void addSPService(int service, int bindingType, String location, int priority, int index);

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.

Cleanup Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

public void 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.

Config Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

public String config(String configurationString);

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.

DoAction Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Performs an additional action.

Syntax

public String doAction(String actionID, String actionParams);

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;....

DropClient Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Terminates a client connection.

Syntax

public void dropClient(long connectionId, boolean forced);

Remarks

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

ExportSettings Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

public String exportSettings(boolean SP);

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.

GetClientBuffer Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Acquires a piece of operation data.

Syntax

public byte[] getClientBuffer(long connectionID, String handle);

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.

GetProviderProperty Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Returns the value of a custom provider property.

Syntax

public String getProviderProperty(String name);

Remarks

This method, together with SetProviderProperty, provides an extensible way of managing the Service Provider's settings that are not available through the primary properties of the component. As SAML usage scenarios evolve and new providers appear, the list of supported properties can be extended.

The following properties are currently supported:

  • ContactPerson
  • OrganizationName
  • OrganizationDisplayName
  • OrganizationURL
  • OrganizationLang

GetRequestBytes Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

public byte[] getRequestBytes(long connectionID, String requestFilter);

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.

GetRequestHeader Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Returns a request header value.

Syntax

public String getRequestHeader(long connectionId, String headerName);

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.

GetResponseHeader Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Returns a response header value.

Syntax

public String getResponseHeader(long connectionId, String headerName);

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.

GetSessionProperty Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Returns the value of a custom session property.

Syntax

public String getSessionProperty(String sessionID, String name);

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.

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

public void importSettings(String metadata, boolean SP);

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).

InitiateArtifactResolve Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Initiates the artifact resolution protocol.

Syntax

public int initiateArtifactResolve(long connectionID, String sessionID, int idPServiceIndex, String artifact, String tag);

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.

InitiateAttributeQuery Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Initiates the attribute query.

Syntax

public int initiateAttributeQuery(long connectionID, String sessionID, int idPServiceIndex, String nameID, String nameIDFormat, String attributes, String attrNameFormats, String attrFriendlyNames, String tag);

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).

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.

InitiateAuth Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Starts SP-initiated SAML authentication flow.

Syntax

public int initiateAuth(long connectionID, String sessionID, int idPServiceIndex, String nameIDFormat, String relayState, String tag);

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.

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.

InitiateLogout Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Starts SP-initiated SAML logout flow.

Syntax

public int initiateLogout(long connectionID, String sessionID, int idPServiceIndex, String nameID, String sessionIndex, String relayState, String tag);

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.

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.

ListClients Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Enumerates the connected clients.

Syntax

public String 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.

PinClient Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Takes a snapshot of the connection's properties.

Syntax

public void pinClient(long connectionId);

Remarks

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

ProcessArtifact Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

public int processArtifact(long connectionID, String sessionID, String request, String tag);

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).

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.

ProcessArtifactResolveRequest Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Processes an artifact request received from the SP service at one of the ARS endpoints.

Syntax

public int processArtifactResolveRequest(long connectionID, String sessionID, String request, String tag);

Remarks

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

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.

Processes assertion received from the IdP service at one of the ACS endpoints.

Syntax

public int processAssertion(long connectionID, String sessionID, String request, String tag);

Remarks

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

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.

You can use this method with or without the OfflineMode.

ProcessGenericRequest Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Processes a generic HTTP SAML request.

Syntax

public byte[] processGenericRequest(long connectionID, byte[] request);

Remarks

Use this method to process a generic well-formed HTTP SAML request obtained elsewhere. This is a handy mechanism to bind the SAML processor to an external web engine.

The Request parameter is expected to contain a full HTTP request, including the HTTP method string (GET, POST) and all the headers. The 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.

ProcessLogoutRequest Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

public int processLogoutRequest(long connectionID, String sessionID, String request, String tag);

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.

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.

Reset Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Resets the class settings.

Syntax

public void reset();

Remarks

Reset is a generic method available in every class.

SetClientBuffer Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Commits a data buffer to the connection.

Syntax

public void setClientBuffer(long connectionID, String handle, byte[] value);

Remarks

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

SetProviderProperty Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Sets the value of a custom provider property.

Syntax

public void setProviderProperty(String name, String value);

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

SetResponseHeader Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Sets a response header.

Syntax

public void setResponseHeader(long connectionId, String headerName, String value);

Remarks

Use this method to set a response header. A good place to call this method is a request-marking event, such as GetRequest or PostRequest.

SetSessionProperty Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Sets the value of a custom provider session property.

Syntax

public void setSessionProperty(String sessionID, String name, String value);

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.

Start Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Starts the SP server.

Syntax

public void start();

Remarks

Use this method to start listening for incoming connections.

Stop Method (SAMLSPServer Class)

Stops the IdP server.

Syntax

public void stop();

Remarks

Call this method to stop listening for incoming connections.

Accept Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Reports an incoming connection.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void accept(SAMLSPServerAcceptEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerAcceptEvent {
  public String remoteAddress;
  public int remotePort;
  public boolean accept; //read-write
}

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

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void artifactReceived(SAMLSPServerArtifactReceivedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerArtifactReceivedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String issuer;
  public String artifact;
  public int action; //read-write
}

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

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void artifactResolveRequestPrepared(SAMLSPServerArtifactResolveRequestPreparedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerArtifactResolveRequestPreparedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String destination;
  public String artifact;
}

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about preparation of artifact resolution requests. This is fired right after the resolution request has been prepared, and just before the component sends it out to the identity provider.

ArtifactResolveRequestReceived Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Reports receipt of ArtifactResolveRequest message.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void artifactResolveRequestReceived(SAMLSPServerArtifactResolveRequestReceivedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerArtifactResolveRequestReceivedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String issuer;
  public boolean isEncrypted;
  public boolean isSigned;
  public String artifact;
  public int action; //read-write
}

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

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void assertionReceived(SAMLSPServerAssertionReceivedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerAssertionReceivedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String issuer;
  public String body;
  public boolean isEncrypted;
  public boolean isSigned;
  public String auth;
  public String nameID;
  public String nameIDFormat;
  public String sessionIndex;
  public String attributes;
  public String validFrom;
  public String validTo;
  public String relayState;
  public int action; //read-write
}

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)

Notifies the application of the preparation of an AttributeQuery.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void attributeQueryPrepared(SAMLSPServerAttributeQueryPreparedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerAttributeQueryPreparedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String destination;
  public String nameID;
  public String nameIDFormat;
  public String attributes;
}

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

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void authnRequestPrepared(SAMLSPServerAuthnRequestPreparedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerAuthnRequestPreparedEvent {

  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String destination;
  public String nameIDFormat;
  public boolean forceAuthn;
  public boolean nonInteractive;
  public String relayState; //read-write
}

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)

Reports an accepted connection.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void connect(SAMLSPServerConnectEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerConnectEvent {
  public long connectionId;
  public String remoteAddress;
  public int remotePort;
}

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

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void disconnect(SAMLSPServerDisconnectEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerDisconnectEvent {
  public long connectionID;
}

Remarks

The class fires this event when a connected client disconnects.

Encrypted Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

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

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void encrypted(SAMLSPServerEncryptedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerEncryptedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String issuerRDN;
  public byte[] serialNumber;
  public byte[] subjectKeyID;
  public boolean needCredential;
  public boolean skipThis; //read-write
}

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

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void error(SAMLSPServerErrorEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerErrorEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public int errorCode;
  public boolean fatal;
  public boolean remote;
  public String description;
}

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

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void externalSign(SAMLSPServerExternalSignEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerExternalSignEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String operationId;
  public String hashAlgorithm;
  public String pars;
  public String data;
  public String signedData; //read-write
}

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)

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

  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String destination;
  public String nameID;
  public String nameIDFormat;
  public String sessionIndex;
  public String relayState; //read-write
}

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).

  ...
  public void notification(SAMLSPServerNotificationEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerNotificationEvent {
  public String eventID;
  public String eventParam;
}

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

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void processingCompleted(SAMLSPServerProcessingCompletedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerProcessingCompletedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String tag;
  public int processingResult;
  public String response;
  public boolean redirect;
}

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

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void readArtifact(SAMLSPServerReadArtifactEvent e) {}

}

public class SAMLSPServerReadArtifactEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String requestID;
  public String issuer;
  public String artifact;
  public String value; //read-write
  public boolean skip; //read-write
}

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)

  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String URL;
  public String httpMethod;
  public int operationStatus; //read-write
  public String handle; //read-write
}

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.

public class SAMLSPServerResourceReadEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String handle;
  public int size;
  public int operationStatus; //read-write
}

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.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...

  public String URL;
  public String httpMethod;
  public boolean resProtected; //read-write
  public boolean resSpecial; //read-write
  public boolean allowWriting; //read-write
  public int action; //read-write
}

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)

  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerResourceWriteEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String handle;
  public int operationStatus; //read-write
}

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)

This event is fired when a SAML message has been prepared and is ready to be dispatched.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {

}

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.

SAMLMessageReceived Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

The server fires this event for every SAML message it receives.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void SAMLMessageReceived(SAMLSPServerSAMLMessageReceivedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSAMLMessageReceivedEvent {

  public void sessionEvent(SAMLSPServerSessionEventEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSessionEventEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String eventText;
}

Remarks

class uses this event to notify your code about events that happen within the lifeline of a SAML session. Handling it may be useful for development, logging, and monitoring purposes.

The SessionID parameter specifies the session ID, and the EventText parameter describes the event that happened. Below are a few typical examples of what EventText you can expect to get:

  • Start
  • AuthnRequestPrepared
  • ResponseReceived
  • ResourceSupplied
  • LogoutRequestPrepared
  • LogoutResponseReceived
  • LogoutRequestReceived
  • LogoutResponsePrepared
  • ArtifactResolveRequestReceived

  • Finish

SessionInfoNeeded Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

This event is fired in OfflineMode to request the session ID for the current flow.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void sessionInfoNeeded(SAMLSPServerSessionInfoNeededEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSessionInfoNeededEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID; //read-write
}

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

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void sessionStateRetrieve(SAMLSPServerSessionStateRetrieveEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSessionStateRetrieveEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String sessionState; //read-write
}

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

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void sessionStateSave(SAMLSPServerSessionStateSaveEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSessionStateSaveEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String sessionState;
}

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.

SignatureFound Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Signifies the start of signature validation.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void signatureFound(SAMLSPServerSignatureFoundEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSignatureFoundEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public int scope;
  public String signer;
  public String targetID;
  public String targetType;
  public String issuerRDN;
  public byte[] serialNumber;
  public byte[] subjectKeyID;
  public String sigMethod;
  public String digestMethod;
  public boolean certFound;
  public boolean validate; //read-write
}

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)

Reports the signature validation result.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void signatureValidated(SAMLSPServerSignatureValidatedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerSignatureValidatedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public int scope;
  public String signer;
  public String targetID;
  public String targetType;
  public String issuerRDN;
  public byte[] serialNumber;
  public byte[] subjectKeyID;
  public String sigMethod;
  public String digestMethod;
  public int validationResult; //read-write

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)

TLSCertValidate Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Fires when a client certificate needs to be validated.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void TLSCertValidate(SAMLSPServerTLSCertValidateEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerTLSCertValidateEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public boolean accept; //read-write
}

Remarks

The class fires this event to notify the application of an authenticating client. Use the event handler to validate the certificate and pass your decision back to the server component via the Accept parameter.

TLSEstablished Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Reports the setup of a TLS session.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void TLSEstablished(SAMLSPServerTLSEstablishedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerTLSEstablishedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
}

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to be notified about the setup of a TLS connection by a connected client.

TLSHandshake Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Fires when a newly established client connection initiates a TLS handshake.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void TLSHandshake(SAMLSPServerTLSHandshakeEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerTLSHandshakeEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String serverName;
  public boolean abort; //read-write
}

Remarks

Use this event to get notified about the initiation of the TLS handshake by the remote client. The ServerName parameter specifies the requested host from the client hello message.

TLSPSK Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Requests a pre-shared key for TLS-PSK.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void TLSPSK(SAMLSPServerTLSPSKEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerTLSPSKEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String identity;
  public String PSK; //read-write
  public String ciphersuite; //read-write
}

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)

Reports closure of a TLS session.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void TLSShutdown(SAMLSPServerTLSShutdownEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerTLSShutdownEvent {
  public long connectionID;
}

Remarks

The class fires this event when a connected client closes their TLS session gracefully. This event is typically followed by a Disconnect, which marks the closure of the underlying TCP session.

UserAuthCompleted Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Notifies the application about the success of user authentication flow.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void userAuthCompleted(SAMLSPServerUserAuthCompletedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerUserAuthCompletedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String assertionBody;
  public String auth;
  public String nameID;
  public String nameIDFormat;
  public String sessionIndex;
  public String validFrom;
  public String validTo;
  public String relayState;
}

Remarks

Subscribe to this event to get notified about completion of user authentication flow. The NameID, NameIDFormat, SessionIndex, ValidFrom, and ValidTo parameters contain the session parameters as stated in the assertion, which is provided via the AssertionBody parameter. The Auth parameter contain the authentication mechanism used.

The RelayState matches the original relay state that was used on the initiation stage of the authentication.

UserAuthFailed Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Notifies the application about failure of user authentication flow.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void userAuthFailed(SAMLSPServerUserAuthFailedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerUserAuthFailedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String relayState;
}

Remarks

Notifies the application about the start of user authentication flow.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void userAuthStart(SAMLSPServerUserAuthStartEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerUserAuthStartEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public int idPServiceIndex;
  public String relayState; //read-write
}

Remarks

The component invokes this event to signal the start of the user authentication flow. This happens shortly before the component proceeds to generation of AuthnRequest message.

The RelayState is an arbitrary string that will be passed to the IdP and mirrored back with the assertion. It is typically used to remember the URL of the resource or page that kicked in the SAML authentication flow.

UserLogoutCompleted Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Notifies the application about the completion of user logout flow.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void userLogoutCompleted(SAMLSPServerUserLogoutCompletedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerUserLogoutCompletedEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public String nameID;
  public String sessionIndex;
  public String relayState;
}

Remarks

UserLogoutStart Event (SAMLSPServer Class)

Notifies the application about the start of user logout flow.

Syntax

public class DefaultSAMLSPServerEventListener implements SAMLSPServerEventListener {
  ...
  public void userLogoutStart(SAMLSPServerUserLogoutStartEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class SAMLSPServerUserLogoutStartEvent {
  public long connectionID;
  public String sessionID;
  public int idPServiceIndex;
  public String nameID;
  public String sessionIndex;
  public boolean secondary;
  public String relayState; //read-write
}

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.

Remarks

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

The following fields are available:

Fields

Bytes
byte[] (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Returns the raw certificate data in DER format.

CA
boolean

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
byte[] (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
String

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
String

Default Value: ""

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

Fingerprint
String (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
String (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.

HashAlgorithm
String

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.

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
String (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
boolean (read-only)

Default Value: False

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

OCSPLocations
String

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
boolean

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
String

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
byte[] (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
boolean (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
boolean (read-only)

Default Value: False

Indicates whether the private key is extractable (exportable).

PublicKeyBytes
byte[] (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
boolean (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
String (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
boolean (read-only)

Default Value: False

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

SerialNumber
byte[]

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
String (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
String (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
String

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
byte[]

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
String

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
boolean (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
String

Default Value: ""

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

ValidTo
String

Default Value: ""

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

Bits
int (read-only)

Default Value: 0

The length of the key in bits.

Curve
String

Default Value: ""

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

Exportable
boolean (read-only)

Default Value: False

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

Fingerprint
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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

ID
byte[]

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
byte[]

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
byte[] (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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

Nonce
byte[]

Default Value: ""

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

Private
boolean (read-only)

Default Value: False

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

Public
boolean (read-only)

Default Value: False

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

Subject
byte[]

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
boolean (read-only)

Default Value: False

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

Valid
boolean (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

public CryptoKey();

Creates an empty crypto key object.

ExternalCrypto Type

Specifies the parameters of external cryptographic calls.

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
String

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
String

Default Value: ""

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

Data
String

Default Value: ""

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

ExternalHashCalculation
boolean

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
String

Default Value: "SHA256"

Specifies the request's signature hash algorithm.

KeyID
String

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
String

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
String

Default Value: ""

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

Constructors

public ExternalCrypto();

Creates a new ExternalCrypto object with default field values.

SAMLEntity Type

Represents SAML entity details.

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
String

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
String

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
String

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
String

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
String

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
String

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
String

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.

svtFailure4General failure

svtReferenceCorrupted5Reference corrupted (XML-based signatures only)

Signed
boolean (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
String (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
String

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
String

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.

ClientAuth
int

Default Value: 0

Enables or disables certificate-based client authentication.

Set this property to true to tune up the client authentication type:

ccatNoAuth0
ccatRequestCert1
ccatRequireCert2

ECCurves
String

Default Value: ""

Defines the elliptic curves to enable.

Extensions
String

Default Value: ""

Provides access to TLS extensions.

ForceResumeIfDestinationChanges
boolean

Default Value: False

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

PreSharedIdentity
String

Default Value: ""

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

PreSharedKey
String

Default Value: ""

Contains the pre-shared key for the PSK (Pre-Shared Key) key-exchange mechanism, encoded with base16.

PreSharedKeyCiphersuite
String

Default Value: ""

Defines the ciphersuite used for PSK (Pre-Shared Key) negotiation.

RenegotiationAttackPreventionMode
int

Default Value: 2

Selects the renegotiation attack prevention mechanism.

The following options are available:

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

RevocationCheck
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.
