@montblanc0/node-saml v5.0.1

Node SAML (fork)

This is a fork of the original SAML 2.0 authentication provider for Node.js.

Purpose

Upon testing SAML authentication, I set up Keycloak to encrypt the assertions, but I chose not to sign them.

node-saml fails with Error: Invalid signature from encrypted assertion as it assumes the encrypted SAMLAssertion must be signed as well.

While allowing such scenario in production environments could be considered a security risk, node-saml should have a flag to respect the IdP's decision to send unsigned encrypted assertions.

Changes

This fork adds the following configuration property to the constructor:

• allowUnsignedEncryptedAssertions: when true, bypasses signature validation when a SAMLAssertion is both encrypted and unsigned (defaults to false)

Installation

npm install @montblanc0/node-saml
