Description

Hello,

Here is my configuration :

SP : Authentic
IDP : My server

When the SP (Authentic) builds an Authnrequest (Single Sign On) for the IDP (my server) there is a call to :

lasso_saml20_provider_get_first_http_method

This method retrieves the supported binding "SingleSignOnService" of the IDP and checks that this one is synchronous :

if (http_method_kind(result) == SYNCHRONOUS
&& ! has_synchronous_methods(provider, protocol_type))
continue;

For example result = LASSO_HTTP_METHOD_REDIRECT and protocol_type = LASSO_MD_PROTOCOL_TYPE_SINGLE_SIGN_ON.

If the retrieved method of the IDP is synchronous, this one also check that the provider (SP) has synchronous methods to retrieve the SAMLResponse of the IDP :

if (http_method_kind(result) == SYNCHRONOUS
&& ! has_synchronous_methods(provider, protocol_type))
continue;

The problem of "has_synchronous_methods" is :

kind = profile_names[protocol_type]; // in our case : kind = "SingleSignOnService"

if (endpoint_type && lasso_strisequal(endpoint_type->kind, kind)) {
result = binding_uri_to_http_method(endpoint_type->binding);
if (http_method_kind(result) == SYNCHRONOUS)
return TRUE;
}

In this configuration, the SP doesn't have a "SingleSignOnService" kind because it's a SP :

<ns0:SingleLogoutService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-Redirect" Location="http://192.168.0.25:8000/authsaml2/singleLogout" ResponseLocation="http://192.168.0.25:8000/authsaml2/singleLogoutReturn"/>
<ns0:SingleLogoutService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:SOAP" Location="http://192.168.0.25:8000/authsaml2/singleLogoutSOAP"/>
<ns0:ManageNameIDService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:SOAP" Location="http://192.168.0.25:8000/authsaml2/manageNameIdSOAP"/>
<ns0:ManageNameIDService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-Redirect" Location="http://192.168.0.25:8000/authsaml2/manageNameId" ResponseLocation="http://192.168.0.25:8000/authsaml2/manageNameIdReturn"/>
<ns0:AssertionConsumerService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-Artifact" Location="http://192.168.0.25:8000/authsaml2/singleSignOnArtifact" index="1"/>
<ns0:AssertionConsumerService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST" Location="http://192.168.0.25:8000/authsaml2/singleSignOnPost" index="2"/>

I think in this function when the call is made by an SP, kind should be "AssertionConsumerService " :

kind = profile_names[protocol_type]; // should return AssertionConsumerService

Because we have to check that the SP can retrieve the SAMLResponse, and the kind to check is "AssertionConsumerService" and not "SingleSignOnService" when the provider is an SP.

What do you think about that?

Regards,

Your analysis of the problem is good. I attach a patch to fix it. Could you verify that it really fixes your problem ??

Updated by Arnaud Maillet over 12 years ago

The patch seems ok, I try with Authentic as an SP and Authentic as an IDP and I didn't find any problem.
