SAML2 IdP Solution
The following pages contain information about the Higgins SAML2 IdP:
explains what the SAML2 IdP can do and how the different involved parties communicate with each other.
SAML2 IdP Deployment tells you how to deploy and configure the SAML2 IdP.
contains information on how to check out and build the source code of the involved Higgins components in the Eclipse IDE.
This page is the template for Solution description page
Contents
Introduction
The Higgins SAML2 IdP supports the SP-initiated SSO profile defined by SAML 2.0 specifications. Two parties are involved in this profile: A service provider (relying party, SP), and an identity provider (IdP).
The SP offers protected services and relies on the IdP to authenticate users.
See SAML2 IdP Overview for a detailed description of the SAML2 IdP solution's functionality.
An instance of the SAML2 IdP is deployed at https://graceland.parityinc.net/saml2idp-test/.
End-User Perspective
Functionality
The SAML2 IdP allows users to sign in to SPs (relying parties) using their credentials at some IdP.
Setup
The end user does not have to set up anything. The process is triggered by the end user trying to sign in at a SP.
Deployer Perspective
See SAML2 IdP Deployment for a detailed description of how to download and deploy the SAML2 IdP.

Developer Perspective
See SAML2 IdP Development for a detailed description of how to set up your development environment for the SAML2 IdP solution.
Architecture
The SAML2 IdP solution consists of two web applications (the actual IdP, and an example SP). They support the SP-initiated SAML 2.0 SSO profile:
The Higgins components used by this solution are:
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.configuration.api
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.configuration.common
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.configuration.xml
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.configuration.xrds
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.idas.api
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.idas.common
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.cp.jndi
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.idas.registry
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.idas.spi
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.messages
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.saml2idp.saml2
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.util.idas.cp
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.util.jscript
- plugins/org.eclipse.higgins.util.socket
Building
The two web applications that constitute the SAML2 IdP are:
- app/org.eclipse.higgins.saml2idp.server
- app/org.eclipse.higgins.saml2idp.test
These projects, as well as its dependencies, can be checked out from the Eclipse repository at the following SVN URI:
