This is a simple example project used in the book A Guide to OpenSAML V3
The project show how to implement SAML 2.0 Web browser SSO profile using OpenSAML V3 in Java.
The purpose of this project is to be an example and tutorial on how OpenSAML works and does not necessarily fulfill all best practises and security requirements. It can be a good place to start as a beginner when experimenting, but should not be used for production purposes.
This projekt demonstrate the following in OpenSAML
- Including and bootstrapping the OpenSAML library
- Sending a AuthnRequest using HTTP Redirect binding
- Sending a Authentication Response using the HTTP Artifact Binding
- Encrypting and decrypting Assertion
- Reading credentials, signing and verifying messages
On my blog, blog.samlsecurity.com, I provide a lot of guides, tutorials and examples on the use of OpenSAML and SAML.
