Method Detail

doWebArtifact

public static void doWebArtifact(HttpServletRequest request,
                                 HttpServletResponse response,
                                 java.lang.String target)
                          throws java.io.IOException,
                                 SAMLException

This method is designed to do the SAML web-browser profile with Artifact. Once the browser (user) authenticated to Identity Server, it can call this method to complete the single sign on to the target host and be redirected to the specified target site.

Parameters:

request - HttpServletRequest

response - HttpServletResponse

target - A String representing the target URL

doWebPOST

public static void doWebPOST(HttpServletRequest request,
                             HttpServletResponse response,
                             java.lang.String target)
                      throws java.io.IOException,
                             SAMLException

This method is designed to do the SAML web-browser POST profile. Once the browser (user) authenticated to Identity Server, it can call this method to complete the single sign on to the target host and be redirected to the target site.

Parameters:

request - HttpServletRequest

response - HttpServletResponse

target - A String representing the target URL

getAssertionByArtifact

public static Assertion getAssertionByArtifact(AssertionArtifact artifact)
                                        throws java.io.IOException,
                                               SAMLException

This method returns the Assertion for the corresponding artifact. It sends an ArtifactQuery SAML message to the destination identified by the source ID in the artifact and returns the Assertion contained in the SAML response message.

Parameters:

artifact - An AssertionArtifact representing the artifact

Returns:

An Assertion corresponding to the artifact

getAssertionByArtifact

public static Assertion getAssertionByArtifact(java.lang.String artifact)
                                        throws java.io.IOException,
                                               SAMLException

This method returns the Assertion for the corresponding artifact. It sends an ArtifactQuery SAML message to the destination identified by the source ID in the artifact and returns the Assertion contained in the SAML response message.

Parameters:

artifact - A String representing the artifact

Returns:

An Assertion corresponding to the artifact
