SAML Protocol middleware to create SAMLP identity providers for node.js.

Build Status

Installation

npm install samlp

Supported Node Versions

node >= 12

Introduction

This middleware is meant to generate a valid SAML Protocol identity provider endpoint that speaks saml.

The idea is that you will use another mechanism to validate the user first.

The endpoint supports metadata as well in the url /FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml.

Login (Authentication Flow)

Usage

Options

Name Description Default
cert public key used by this identity provider REQUIRED
key private key used by this identity provider REQUIRED
getPostURL get the url to post the token f(audience, samlRequestDom, req, callback) REQUIRED
issuer the name of the issuer of the token REQUIRED
audience the audience for the saml token req.query.SAMLRequest.Issuer
getUserFromRequest how to extract the user information from request function(req) { return req.user; }
profileMapper mapper to map users to claims (see PassportProfileMapper) PassportProfileMapper
signatureAlgorithm signature algorithm, options: rsa-sha1, rsa-sha256 'rsa-sha256'
digestAlgorithm digest algorithm, options: sha1, sha256 'sha256'
signResponse whether to sign the SAML response false
signAssertion whether to sign the SAML assertion true
RelayState state of the auth process req.query.RelayState || req.body.RelayState
sessionIndex the index of a particular session between the principal identified by the subject and the authenticating authority SessionIndex is not included
responseHandler custom response handler for SAML response f(SAMLResponse, options, req, res, next) HTML response that POSTS to postUrl

Add the middleware as follows:

app.get('/samlp', samlp.auth({
  issuer:     'the-issuer',
  cert:       fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'some-cert.pem')),
  key:        fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'some-cert.key')),
  getPostURL: function (wtrealm, wreply, req, callback) {
                return callback( null, 'http://someurl.com')
              }
}));

SAML Protocol Metadata

This module also support generating SAML Protocol metadata (IDPSsoDescriptor):

app.get('/samlp/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml', samlp.metadata({
  issuer:   'the-issuer',
  cert:     fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'some-cert.pem')),
}));

It also accept two optionals parameters:

Note: If x-forwarded-host or x-forwarded-proto are received during the HTTP request to the metadata endpoint the urls contained in the metadata will use those them as host or protocol respectively instead of the original ones from request.headers.host and request.protocol.

Logout - SLO (Single Logout)

Starting on version v2.0 Single Logout is supported (SAML 2.0 Single Logout Profile). General support for SLO among Session Participants is varies a lot. This module supports the following flows:

Both flows need the IdP to accept SAML LogoutResponses from the Session Participants. This is also supported by this module.

Usage

Options

Name Description Default
cert public key used by this identity provider REQUIRED
key private key used by this identity provider REQUIRED
issuer the name of the issuer of the token REQUIRED
protocolBinding the binding to use 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST'
sessionParticipants an object that handles Session Participants. Check this implementation An empty object. It is REQUIRED if you want to use SLO
clearIdPSession a function to be called when the logout process is finished so the IdP can clean its session function (cb){ return cb();
store an object that handles the HTTP Session. Check this implementation new SessionStore(options) Uses req.session to store the current state

Notes

var sessionParticipant = {
  serviceProviderId : 'https://foobarsupport.zendesk.com', // The Issuer (Session Participant id)
  nameId: 'foo@example.com', // NameId Of the logged in user in the SP
  nameIdFormat: 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient', // Format of the NameId
  sessionIndex: '1', // The session index generated by the IdP
  serviceProviderLogoutURL: 'https://foobarsupport.zendesk.com/logout', // The logout URL of the Session Participant
  cert: sp1_credentials.cert, // The Session Participant public certificate, used to verify the signature of the SAML requests made by this SP
  binding: 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST' // Optional, participant-specific binding to use during SLO, if not provided - will use "protocolBinding" from provided options
};

In some situations it is possible for session participants to have mixed bindings during one Single Log Out (SLO) transaction. By default the library will use the binding specified in options.protocolBinding, however if mixed bindings must be used - each participant must have the binding specified as an additional field. If the binding value is invalid - it will fall back to HTTP-POST.

Add the middleware as follows:

  app.get('/logout', samlp.logout({
      deflate:            true,
      issuer:             'the-issuer',
      protocolBinding:    'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-Redirect',
      cert:               fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'some-cert.pem')),
      key:                fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'some-cert.key'))
  }));

  app.post('/logout', samlp.logout({
      issuer:             'the-issuer',
      protocolBinding:    'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST',
      cert:               fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'some-cert.pem')),
      key:                fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'some-cert.key'))
  }));

Error handling

Errors are not sent back to the SP. To do so, you'll need to use the sendError middleware.

samlp.sendError({
    RelayState:         'relayState',
    issuer:             'the-issuer',
    signatureAlgorithm: 'rsa-sha1',
    digestAlgorithm:    'sha1',
    cert:               fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'some-cert.pem')),
    key:                fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'some-cert.key')),
    error: { description: err.message },
    getPostURL: function (req, callback) {
      callback(null, 'http://someurl.com');
    }
})(req, res, next);
