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

npm install samlp

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.

Options

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')
              }
}));

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:

• profileMapper: a class implementing the profile mapper. This is used to render the claims type information (using the metadata property). See PassportProfileMapper for more information.
• endpointPath: this is the full path in your server to the auth route. By default the metadata handler uses the metadata request route without /FederationMetadata/2007..blabla.

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.

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:

• IdP Initiated: a logout is initiated by invoking the GET logout endpoint specified in the IdP metadata. The IdP creates a signed SAML LogoutRequest and propagates it to the involved Session Participants.
• SP Initiated: a Session Participant starts a SLO by sending a SAML LogoutRequest to the IdP. The IdP propagates it to the involved Session Participants.

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

Options

• options.cert: This is the public certificate of the IdP
• options.key: This is the private key of the IdP. The IdP will sign its SAML LogoutRequest and LogoutResponse with this key.
• options.store: Since the logout flow will involve several requests/responses, we need to keep track of the transaction state. The default implementation uses req.session to store the transaction state via the 'flowstate' module
• options.sessionParticipants: Will handle SessionParticipant objects. Each SessionParticipant object needs to have the following structure:

var sessionParticipant = {
  serviceProviderId : 'https://foobarsupport.zendesk.com', // The Issuer (Session Participant id)
  nameId: '[email protected]', // 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
};

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'))
  }));

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);
