A.7 Support for POST and REDIRECT in SAML Request

SAML assertions contain authentication and authorization information, which is transmitted using a request method. This enables a secure and standardized exchange of identity and access data between systems or domains.

After generating certificates for a SAML signed request, users need to configure SAML with request type.

To update the request type, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the <COMPLIANCE_STUDIO_INSTALLATION_PATH>/deployed/mmg-home/mmgui/ conf directory.
2. Open application.properties file and add the following parameters at the end of the file.

   saml.request.type=POST
   saml.include.sp.cert=Y

   Note:

   • SAML requests can be sent using different methods, called bindings. Currently, we support REDIRECT and POST bindings, with REDIRECT being the default method.
   • The possible values for saml.request.type are POST and REDIRECT and possible value for saml.include.sp.cert is either Y or N.
