Create a credential object in java SAML

I'm working on the sign SAML assertions. My code is the same as in this question:

Signing response using openSAML

I need to create the method getSigningCredential() to make the credential object. How can I create this Credential object?

Any help is appreciated.

Solution

  • There are many ways to do this, depending on where you stor your keys. Metadata, keystore or somewhere else.

    I have a blog post on this subject and I discuss it further in my book A Guide to OpenSAML

    Basically you use one of the provided CredentialResolvers in OpenSAML

    MetadataCredentialResolver KeyStoreCredentialResolver etc...
