Introduction

This app provides a simple Identity Provider (IdP) to test SAML 2.0 Service Providers (SPs) with the SAML 2.0 Web Browser SSO Profile.

This sample is not intended for use with production systems!

Installation

1. npm install
2. bower install
3. openssl req -x509 -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -subj '/C=US/ST=California/L=San Francisco/O=JankyCo/CN=Test Identity Provider' -keyout idp-private-key.pem -out idp-public-cert.pem -days 7300

Bower, a front-end package manager, can be installed with npm install -g bower

Usage

node app.js --acs {POST URL} --aud {audience}

Open http://localhost:7000 in your browser to start an IdP initiated flow to your SP

Example

node app.js --acs https://foo.okta.com/auth/saml20/example --aud https://www.okta.com/saml2/service-provider/spf5aFRRXFGIMAYXQPNV

IdP SAML Settings

Issuer

The default IdP issuer is urn:example:idp. You can change this with the --iss argument.

Binding

Both SSO POST and Redirect bindings are available on the same endpoint which by default is http://localhost:7000

Binding	URL
HTTP-Redirect	http://localhost:port
HTTP-POST	http://localhost:port

http://localhost:port/idp will also work if your SP has weird URL validation rules

Signing Certificate

You must generate a self-signed certificate for the IdP.

openssl req -x509 -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -subj '/C=US/ST=California/L=San Francisco/O=JankyCo/CN=Test Identity Provider' -keyout idp-private-key.pem -out idp-public-cert.pem -days 7300

SAML Metadata

IdP SAML metadata is available on http://localhost:port/metadata

Assertion Attributes

The IdP mints the user's profile as a SAML Assertion Attribute Statement using the metadata property in config.js. Profile properties that match a metadata entry id property will be generated as a SAML Attribute with the same name. The IdP UI will automatically render an input for each entry defined via a metadata entry in config.js with a default value from the matching profile property.

Profile Property

{
  "email": "[email protected]"
}

Metadata Entry

{
  "id": "email",
  "optional": false,
  "displayName": "E-Mail Address",
  "description": "The e-mail address of the user",
  "multiValue": false
}

SAML Assertion Attribute Statement

<saml:Attribute Name="email"><saml:AttributeValue xsi:type="xs:anyType">[email protected]</saml:AttributeValue>

Default Attributes

The default profile mappings are defined in config.js as:

Profile Property	SAML Attribute Name
userName	Subject NameID
nameIdFormat	Subject NameID Format
nameIdNameQualifier	Subject NameID Name Qualifer
nameIdSPNameQualifier	Subject NameID SP Name Qualifer
nameIdSPProvidedID	Subject NameID SP ProvidedID
firstName	firstName
lastName	lastName
displayName	displayName
email	email
mobilePhone	mobilePhone
groups	groups

SAML attribute mappings currently default to Okta (Inbound SAML)

Custom Attributes

New attributes can be defined at runtime in the IdP UI or statically by modifying the profile and metadata objects in config.js.

1. Add metadata entry for your new attributes. The id property must be the name of the SAML Attribute

   {
     "id": "customAttribute",
     "optional": false,
     "displayName": "Custom Attribute",
     "description": "My custom attribute",
     "multiValue": false
   }

2. Optionally add a default profile attribute value that will be used on startup


## Assertion Encryption

Encrypted assertions require both a certificate and public key from the target service provider in the PEM format (base64 encoding of `.der`, `.cer`, `.cert`, `.crt`).  You can convert certificate formats with `openssl`

#### DER to PEM

`openssl x509 -inform der -in to-convert.der -out converted.pem`

> The following formats or extensions should be convertible to the pem format: `.der`, `.cer`, `.cert`, `.crt

#### PEM Certificate to Public Key

PEM files that contain the header `-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----` can also be converted to  just the public key which is a file with just the `-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----` header

`openssl x509 -pubkey -noout -in cert.pem > pub.key`
