# Ruby SAML Identity Provider (IdP)

Forked from <https://github.com/lawrencepit/ruby-saml-idp>

[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/saml_idp.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/saml_idp)

The ruby SAML Identity Provider library is for implementing the server side of SAML authentication. It allows
your application to act as an IdP (Identity Provider) using the
[SAML v2.0](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Assertion_Markup_Language)
protocol. It provides a means for managing authentication requests and confirmation responses for SPs (Service Providers).

This was originally setup by @lawrencepit to test SAML Clients. I took it closer to a real
SAML IDP implementation.
This gem not manage any state of SAML configuration each requests that you want to respond to SP (Service Provider) you need to load SP's metadata and generate response according SAML 2.0 specification.

## Not using rails?

Include `SamlIdp::Controller` and see the examples that use rails. It should be straightforward for you.

Basically you call `decode_request(params[:SAMLRequest])` on an incoming request and then use the value
Basically you need configure your IdP provider information for your SP provider with `configure` (see Configuration)
method and then `decode_request(params[:SAMLRequest])` on an incoming request and then use the value
`saml_acs_url` to determine the source for which you need to authenticate a user. How you authenticate
a user is entirely up to you.

Once a user has successfully authenticated on your system send the Service Provider a SAMLResponse by
posting to `saml_acs_url` the parameter `SAMLResponse` with the return value from a call to
`encode_response(user_email)`.

### Configuration
Please check `configure` section for your controller

#### Signed assertions and Signed Response
## Configuration

By default SAML Assertion will be signed with an algorithm which defined to `config.algorithm`, because SAML assertions contain secure information used for authentication such as NameID.
Besides that, signing assertions could be optional and can be defined with `config.signed_assertion` option. Setting this configuration flag to `false` will add raw assertions on the response instead of signed ones. If the response is encrypted the `config.signed_assertion` will be ignored and all assertions will be signed.
Your application need to manage 2 things for configuration.
1. IdP data such as IdP certificate and other configs
For this configuration you have to create global initialization file in your application
Which do following configuration.

Signing SAML Response is optional, but some security perspective SP services might require Response message itself must be signed.
For that, you can enable it with `signed_message: true` option for `encode_response(user_email, signed_message: true)` method. [More about SAML spec](https://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-core-2.0-os.pdf#page=68)

#### Signing algorithm

Following algorithms you can set in your response signing algorithm
:sha1 - RSA-SHA1 default value but not recommended to production environment
Highly recommended to use one of following algorithm, suit with your computing power.
:sha256 - RSA-SHA256
:sha384 - RSA-SHA384
:sha512 - RSA-SHA512
```ruby
SamlIdP.config do
config.logger = ::Logger.new($stdout) # Default: if in Rails context - Rails.logger, else ->(msg) { puts msg }. Works with either a Ruby Logger or a lambda
end
```

maybe spell out service_provider instead of sp? Abbreviations get confusing IMO.
