Workaround for xmlsec breaking when SHA1 is deprecated: Allow signature and digest algorithm as parameters ... #452

Open thomaswar opened 10 months ago

... for metadata generation. Also using sha256 as default to prevent xmlsec breaking on systems where sha1 is disabled.

Details

Pull allows for additional parameters --signature-algorithm and --digest-algorithm in scripts/saml_metadata.py which are applied when signing is true (the default). Given Strings should reference xmldsig (mirroring frontend/backend configuration) like "SIG_RSA_SHA256".

Change of behavior

Defaults in scripts/saml_metadata.py select SHA256 instead of SHA1 (SHA1 is just the default in pysaml2) to avoid metadata generation breaking on systems where SHA1 is already deprecated and thus xmlsec1 unable to sign metadata. Which was the reason for the change in the first place (RHEL9).
