I have custom policies setup within our Azure AD B2C tenant to setup a SAML based signin SP initiated flow. On receipt of the response from the third party IDP I get the exception "The response has an invalid relay cookie".
I believe this is because the IDP's response is missing the InResponseTo property. Having spoken to said IDP, they are not able to send back the InResponseTo property in their response.
Is there a way to either remove the InResponseTo property from our initial request, OR is it possible to disable checking the InResponseTo attribute on receipt of the response?
I've successfully run a signin using the same custom policies in B2C, but using https://samltest.id/start-sp-test/ as the IDP instead, and can see the InResponseTo property returned in the response from here. So this is the only thing I have been able to identify as the a possible cause.
I know this is bad practice / a security flaw, but we are trying to prove we can get the identity flow working with this third party, with a view this will be fixed at a later date.

As an SP, we've opted for the POST binding option - it seemed to be the advised approach. SAML is now set up and working with the IDP. We would now like to change to Redirect as it is better handled in Ajax calls after timeout.
My question is whether we can switch from POST to Redirect without incurring a setup change on the IDP side. Seeing as both bindings are just using the UserAgent (browser) as a transport anyway, I figured it may be possible. But the binding is defined in the AssertionConsumerService in the metadata which indicates that IDP would need to be informed and have its configuration changed.
Sending a SAML Response (which is what is sent to an Assertion Consumer Service endpoint) via Redirect is not supported by the SAML spec since responses easily get too large to send as a query parameter. See line 420 in the SAML Web SSO Profile spec https://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-profiles-2.0-os.pdf
Identity Provider issues to Service Provider In step 5, the identity provider issues a message to be delivered by
the user agent to the service provider. Either the HTTP POST, or HTTP
Artifact binding can be used to transfer the message to the service
provider through the user agent. The message may indicate an error, or
will include (at least) an authentication assertion. The HTTP Redirect
binding MUST NOT be used, as the response will typically exceed the
URL length permitted by most user agents.
You can switch to Artifact, though SP metadata will need to updated on the IDP to relay the changed endpoint.
We are implementing SAML integration and I am the service provider and my identity provider is asking me to send "SAML Consumer URL" and "RelayState"
I would need help to understand what is SAML consumer URL & RelayState and how do I get/generate it for my application.
Thank you for your time and help!
TLDR, AssertionConsumerUrl (ACS) endpoint is SAML protocol endpoint, RelayState is like cross-domain cookie, used to coordinate messages and actions of IdPs and SPs.
In 5.1.Web Browser SSO Profile of SAML 2.0 Technical Review, it will give you a general understanding of how the flow goes.
Down to the SSO implementation, for example Shibboleth, this FlowAndConfig doc details the SSO flow pretty well.
In 2. SP Determines IdP and Issues Authentication Request:
Cookie Set by SP
During this step, the SP will preserve the original
resource requested by the browser using a "relay state" mechanism,
which is configured by a relayState property on the <SessionInitiator>
element. The default mechanism does not rely on a cookie any longer,
but many systems do, and send a state management cookie containing the
resource URL to the client along with the request prepared for the IdP
or DS/WAYF.
In 5. Back to the SP:
The browser delivers the response from the IdP to an Assertion Consumer Service endpoint at the SP.
relay state info returned from IdP to SP
Cookie Read by SP
The "relay state" information returned by the IdP, if any, will have
been created by the SP and if using a cookie, will point to a
specially named cookie that should accompany the authentication
response supplied to the ACS endpoint in this step. This is the cookie
set in Step 2 above. If this cookie is missing (or if no relay state
exists at all), the associated application's homeURL property is
substituted as a fall back.
Also, Shibboleth has some wiki for those two terms as well.
AssertionConsumerService concept
RelayState concept
Hope it helps!
Using WSO2 5.1.0. Needs to send SAML assertion like firstName, lastName from WSO2 as IDP to SP. Refer Configuration. User profile do have first name and last name values.
Restarted WSO2, no error in logs. But I don't receive these values in SAML response sent from WSO2 to my Service porvider.
For this, in your Service Provider's SAML Configuration, you need to make sure following two checkboxes are selected.
Enable Attribute Profile
Include Attributes in the Response Always
Then, inside the Claim Configuration section of the Service Provider configuration, you need to add the particular claims you need to receive as Requested Claims. Then these claims will be included in SAML response.
If you want the claims to have a different key name, you can define a custom claim dialect there and provide your own key names for claims.
We are considering to send some session information in the SAML claims.
The session information would be something to received by the chosen (custom) authenticator, such as value of an HTTP header (X509 DN), extra information provided on the logon screen, etc ...
Currently (by default) all claims are read from the userstore (as mapped by the claim mapping).
The only way I currently found to pass the session information is to implement/overwrite the SAML2SSOManager implementation.
Is there any simpler way to pass some user attributes from the authenticator which will be handled as a claim by the default SAML2SSOManager implementation?
I see the federated authenticators use context.getSubject().getUserProperties() to pass remote claims to the SAML response. Is it a way? ( regardless I put any ClaimMapping into the userProperties and declare the claim as required, I am unable to get it out as SAML response claim)
Thank you in advance
Apparently the way to go is implementing a custom ClaimHandler as described http://pushpalankajaya.blogspot.be/2014/07/adding-custom-claims-to-saml-response.html
The local authenticator can set the claims as user properties (of the subject).
In this case extending the handleLocalClaims should be enough, not to mess with federated mapping (where federated authenticators use the subject userAttributes as well)
I am implementing the Azure B2C preview in our mobile app but I am having trouble retrieving the application claims once the Signup policy has completed and the redirect_uri is called. I have specified the claims I need returned through the "Application claims" section of the policy blade and similarly through the other two policies (Sign-in and Profile) but I never receive a JWT along with the access code on the callback to the redirect_uri.
I have also tried HTTP and HTTPS in the redirect_uri and using the different response_mode settings but all i get is the code returned.
Am i missing something, or does the signup policy not support returning other claims at this point. I was planning on using them to send a welcome email to the new user.
I think i may have just realised - i need to make a call to the token endpoint to swap my code for the id_token and then i can get the claims.
