Spring Security can parse asserting party metadata to produce an AssertingPartyDetails
instance as well as publish relying party metadata from a RelyingPartyRegistration
instance.
Parsing <saml2:IDPSSODescriptor>
metadata
You can parse an asserting party’s metadata using RelyingPartyRegistrations
.
When using the OpenSAML vendor support, the resulting AssertingPartyDetails
will be of type OpenSamlAssertingPartyDetails
.
This means you’ll be able to do get the underlying OpenSAML XMLObject by doing the following:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
OpenSamlAssertingPartyDetails details = (OpenSamlAssertingPartyDetails)
registration.getAssertingPartyDetails();
EntityDescriptor openSamlEntityDescriptor = details.getEntityDescriptor();
val details: OpenSamlAssertingPartyDetails =
registration.getAssertingPartyDetails() as OpenSamlAssertingPartyDetails;
val openSamlEntityDescriptor: EntityDescriptor = details.getEntityDescriptor();
Producing <saml2:SPSSODescriptor>
Metadata
You can publish a metadata endpoint using the saml2Metadata
DSL method, as you’ll see below:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
http
// ...
.saml2Login(withDefaults())
.saml2Metadata(withDefaults());
http {
//...
saml2Login { }
saml2Metadata { }
}
You can use this metadata endpoint to register your relying party with your asserting party. This is often as simple as finding the correct form field to supply the metadata endpoint.
By default, the metadata endpoint is /saml2/metadata
, though it also responds to /saml2/metadata/{registrationId}
and /saml2/service-provider-metadata/{registrationId}
.
You can change this by calling the metadataUrl
method in the DSL:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
.saml2Metadata((saml2) -> saml2.metadataUrl("/saml/metadata"))
saml2Metadata {
metadataUrl = "/saml/metadata"
}
Changing the Way a RelyingPartyRegistration
Is Looked Up
If you have a different strategy for identifying which RelyingPartyRegistration
to use, you can configure your own Saml2MetadataResponseResolver
like the one below:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Bean
Saml2MetadataResponseResolver metadataResponseResolver(RelyingPartyRegistrationRepository registrations) {
RequestMatcherMetadataResponseResolver metadata = new RequestMatcherMetadataResponseResolver(
(id) -> registrations.findByRegistrationId("relying-party"));
metadata.setMetadataFilename("metadata.xml");
return metadata;
}
@Bean
fun metadataResponseResolver(val registrations: RelyingPartyRegistrationRepository): Saml2MetadataResponseResolver {
val metadata = new RequestMatcherMetadataResponseResolver(
id: String -> registrations.findByRegistrationId("relying-party"))
metadata.setMetadataFilename("metadata.xml")
return metadata
}
