Re: [higgins-dev] SAML2 IdP Deployment Problems

Okay good to hear! Let me know if you have any more trouble.

BTW can we somewhere see your project where you use Higgins components?

Hi,

Thanks Markus for your help.

1. I updated from SVN which solved the NullPointerException, thanks.

2. 3.  Finally the problem came from the eclipse integrated browser. It's
working fine with firefox :/

Thanks a lot
Regards
Wen

Hi,

Thanks for the detailed input.

1. Regarding your NullPointerException during Init, I just checked in a fix
for this. The idea is that for creating SAML 2.0 tokens, you can configure
the SAML2 IdP to either use the Higgins STS for doing that, or use
internal, simpler code instead. The latter requires much less configuration
work. Please update from SVN and see if it works now.

2. Not sure what you mean with "The SAML2Request is not redirected to the
IdP".
Try make sure that "saml2-idp-endpoint" and "saml2-sp-endpoint" are
configured correctly in the conf/application.properties file of the
saml2idp.test project (i.e. the Test SP).

3. The way the SAMLRequest is sent from the SP to the IdP is the SAML HTTP
Binding (see
http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-bindings-2.0-os.pdf.).
It involves compression and Base64 encoding. Not sure why it doesn't work
when you manually do that? Do you have any more information?

4. There used to be a helper project called
org.eclipse.higgins.saml2idp.saml2, which was used both by the SP and IdP.
It has been renamed to org.eclipse.higgins.util.saml because other project
started to use it too.

Hope that helps
Markus

 Hi all,

 Following instructions from here:
 http://wiki.eclipse.org/SAML2_IdP_Overview_1.1
 http://wiki.eclipse.org/SAML2_IdP_Deployment_1.1
 http://wiki.eclipse.org/SAML2_IdP_Development_1.1

 I got few problems during the deployment of the SAML2 IdP solution.

   2  NullPointerException in the Init class from the package
   org.eclipse.higgins.saml2idp.server:

 (Embedded image moved to file: pic02582.gif)

 It corresponds to the line 337, (i got the same on the line 343):

 (Embedded image moved to file: pic20898.gif)

 Finally i commented those 2 lines which "solved" the problem


   The SAML2Request is not redirected to the IdP. Once the
 samlAuthnRequest
   is formed in the redirectAuthnRequest from the SAMLUtil class which is
   called in the Login class from the SP. I'm not sure that my
 explanations
   are really clear, it's quite hard to explain in a mail and maybe even
   more to understand :/. The fact is that we never reach the server
   SAMLendpoint.

 It gives me this trace:

   Then the third thing which i'm currently working on is that the
   SAMLRequest in the URL sent by the SP to the IdP SAMLEndpoint (which
 i'm
   sending manually as the redirection is not working, because of the
   problem above^^) is not parsed. So far this is what i've found:
      On the SP side, the SAMLRequest parameter is an xml that is
      compressed with the deflater class and then encoded in base64.
      On the IdP side, the SAMLRequest is received via the getParameter
      method and then decoded with the base64 and decompressed with the
      inflater class.
      The problem is that the SAMLRequest is not full after the decoding
 or
      the decompression. As the xml is not complete, a parsing error
      occurs.


   I have a last little thing about the Base64, it seems that the
   org.eclipse.higgins.sts.spi.IBase64Extension class was removed from sts
   to use instead the common Base64 class (sources:
   http://www.nabble.com/SAML-utility-code-td17788915.html#a17874867  and
   http://graceland.parityinc.net/pub/higginsirc/log_2008-06-16.txt.) In
 the
   different higgins components i used, the org.eclipse.higgins.idp.saml2
   was still using this IBase64Extension class, so i just changed it to
   Base64. I don't know if it was an oversight or if the
   org.eclipse.higgins.idp.saml2 has been replaced by another one as in
 the
   wiki (http://wiki.eclipse.org/SAML2_IdP_Development_1.1) they are
   talking about a org.eclipse.higgins.saml2idp component that wasn't in
   the repository :/.


 That's pretty it, hoping it wasn't to bad explained.

 Thanks a lot
 Regards
 Wen
