SAML Request-Response Handeling in WSO2 Identity Server


I am using WSO2 Identity Server 5.0 For Single Sign On Purpose. In my web application(Service Provider), I am writing my own custom implementation for SAML Request-Response handling using OpenSAML.

I want to know that which other encoding formats are supported by WSO2 IS 5.0 as I have seen BASE64 Encoding in one of the examples given by WSO2. This information will be useful for handling marshaling and unmarshalling Issues.

Thank you in Advance.


Solution

  • WSO2 Identity servers SAML implementation is adhere to SAML specifications. So it support the encoding mechanisms defined in SAML Binding specification [1] At the moment HTTP-Redirect and HTTP- Post bindings are supported HTTP-Redirect : DEFLATE Encoding HTTP-Post : BASE64 Encoding is used
