# Authentication through SAML 2.0
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The experimental SAML provider allows authentication through the SAML 2.0 HTTP POST binding.
|
|
|
|
The connector uses the value of the `NameID` element as the user's unique identifier which dex assumes is both unique and never changes. Use the `nameIDPolicyFormat` to ensure this is set to a value which satisfies these requirements.
|
|
|
|
## Caveats
|
|
|
|
There are known issues with the XML signature validation for this connector. In addition work is still being done to ensure this connector implements best security practices for SAML 2.0.
|
|
|
|
The connector doesn't support signed AuthnRequests or encrypted attributes.
|
|
|
|
The connector doesn't support refresh tokens since the SAML 2.0 protocol doesn't provide a way to requery a provider without interaction.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
connectors:
|
|
- type: samlExperimental # will be changed to "saml" later without support for the "samlExperimental" value
|
|
# Required field for connector id.
|
|
id: saml
|
|
# Required field for connector name.
|
|
name: SAML
|
|
config:
|
|
# Issuer used for validating the SAML response.
|
|
issuer: https://saml.example.com
|
|
# SSO URL used for POST value.
|
|
ssoURL: https://saml.example.com/sso
|
|
|
|
# CA to use when validating the SAML response.
|
|
ca: /path/to/ca.pem
|
|
|
|
# CA's can also be provided inline as a base64'd blob.
|
|
#
|
|
# catData: ( RAW base64'd PEM encoded CA )
|
|
|
|
# To skip signature validation, uncomment the following field. This should
|
|
# only be used during testing and may be removed in the future.
|
|
#
|
|
# insucreSkipSignatureValidation: true
|
|
|
|
# Dex's callback URL. Must match the "Destination" attribute of all responses
|
|
# exactly.
|
|
redirectURI: https://dex.example.com/callback
|
|
|
|
# Name of attributes in the returned assertions to map to ID token claims.
|
|
usernameAttr: name
|
|
emailAttr: email
|
|
groupsAttr: groups # optional
|
|
|
|
# By default, multiple groups are assumed to be represented as multiple
|
|
# attributes with the same name.
|
|
#
|
|
# If "groupsDelim" is provided groups are assumed to be represented as a
|
|
# single attribute and the delimiter is used to split the attribute's value
|
|
# into multiple groups.
|
|
#
|
|
# groupsDelim: ", "
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Requested format of the NameID. The NameID value is is mapped to the ID Token
|
|
# 'sub' claim. This can be an abbreviated form of the full URI with just the last
|
|
# component. For example, if this value is set to "emailAddress" the format will
|
|
# resolve to:
|
|
#
|
|
# urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress
|
|
#
|
|
# If no value is specified, this value defaults to:
|
|
#
|
|
# urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent
|
|
#
|
|
nameIDPolicyFormat: persistent
|
|
```
