Method Detail

createAuthenticationRequest

@Deprecated
java.lang.String createAuthenticationRequest(Saml2AuthenticationRequest request)

Deprecated.

please use createRedirectAuthenticationRequest(Saml2AuthenticationRequestContext) or createPostAuthenticationRequest(Saml2AuthenticationRequestContext) This method will be removed in future versions of Spring Security

Creates an authentication request from the Service Provider, sp, to the Identity Provider, idp. The authentication result is an XML string that may be signed, encrypted, both or neither. This method only returns the SAMLRequest string for the request, and for a complete set of data parameters please use createRedirectAuthenticationRequest(Saml2AuthenticationRequestContext) or createPostAuthenticationRequest(Saml2AuthenticationRequestContext)

Parameters:

request - information about the identity provider, the recipient of this authentication request and accompanying data

Returns:

XML data in the format of a String. This data may be signed, encrypted, both signed and encrypted with the signature embedded in the XML or neither signed and encrypted

Throws:

Saml2Exception - when a SAML library exception occurs

Since:

5.2

createRedirectAuthenticationRequest

default Saml2RedirectAuthenticationRequest createRedirectAuthenticationRequest(Saml2AuthenticationRequestContext context)

Deprecated.

Creates all the necessary AuthNRequest parameters for a REDIRECT binding. If the Saml2AuthenticationRequestContext doesn't contain any Saml2X509Credential.Saml2X509CredentialType.SIGNING credentials the result will not contain any signatures. The data set will be signed and encoded for REDIRECT binding including the DEFLATE encoding. It will contain the following parameters to be sent as part of the query string: SAMLRequest, RelayState, SigAlg, Signature. The default implementation, for sake of backwards compatibility, of this method returns the SAMLRequest message with an XML signature embedded, that should only be used for theSaml2MessageBinding.POST binding, but works over Saml2MessageBinding.POST with most providers.

Parameters:

context - - information about the identity provider, the recipient of this authentication request and accompanying data

Returns:

a Saml2RedirectAuthenticationRequest object with applicable http parameters necessary to make the AuthNRequest over a POST or REDIRECT binding. All parameters will be SAML encoded/deflated, but escaped, ie URI encoded or encoded for Form Data.

Throws:

Saml2Exception - when a SAML library exception occurs

Since:

5.3

createPostAuthenticationRequest

default Saml2PostAuthenticationRequest createPostAuthenticationRequest(Saml2AuthenticationRequestContext context)

Deprecated.

Creates all the necessary AuthNRequest parameters for a POST binding. If the Saml2AuthenticationRequestContext doesn't contain any Saml2X509Credential.Saml2X509CredentialType.SIGNING credentials the result will not contain any signatures. The data set will be signed and encoded for POST binding and if applicable signed with XML signatures. will contain the following parameters to be sent as part of the form data: SAMLRequest, RelayState. The default implementation of this method returns the SAMLRequest message with an XML signature embedded, that should only be used for the Saml2MessageBinding.POST binding.

Parameters:

context - - information about the identity provider, the recipient of this authentication request and accompanying data

Returns:

a Saml2PostAuthenticationRequest object with applicable http parameters necessary to make the AuthNRequest over a POST binding. All parameters will be SAML encoded but not escaped for Form Data.

Throws:

Saml2Exception - when a SAML library exception occurs
