gosaml

SAML client library written in Go (golang)

SAML is the successful OASIS standard for cloud based single sign on (SSO). SAML allows for companies that maintain a security infrastructure internally to allow using that same set of credentials via a safe, secure mechanism with externally hosted services.

For instance, New Relic allows you to configure a saml provider (https://newrelic.com/docs/subscriptions/saml-service-providers) so you can maintain your own credentials instead of using New Relic's.

Ping Identity has a nice video for SAML here: https://www.pingidentity.com/resource-center/Introduction-to-SAML-Video.cfm

Installation

Use the go get command to fetch gosaml and its dependencies into your local $GOPATH:

$ go get github.com/geappliances/gosaml

Usage

Generating Unsigned AuthnRequests

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/geappliances/gosaml"
)

func main() {
    // Configure the app and account settings
    appSettings := saml.NewAppSettings("http://www.onelogin.net", "issuer")
    accountSettings := saml.NewAccountSettings("cert", "http://www.onelogin.net")

    // Construct an AuthnRequest
    authRequest := saml.NewAuthorizationRequest(*appSettings, *accountSettings)

    // Return a SAML AuthnRequest as a string
    saml, err := authRequest.GetRequest(false)

    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println(saml)
}

The above code will generate the following AuthnRequest XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<samlp:AuthnRequest xmlns:samlp="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol" xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion"

    AttributeConsumingServiceIndex="0">
    <saml:Issuer>https://sp.example.com/SAML2</saml:Issuer>
    <samlp:NameIDPolicy AllowCreate="true" Format="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient"></samlp:NameIDPolicy>
    <samlp:RequestedAuthnContext xmlns:samlp="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol" Comparison="exact"></samlp:RequestedAuthnContext>
    <saml:AuthnContextClassRef xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion">
        urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:PasswordProtectedTransport
    </saml:AuthnContextClassRef>
</samlp:AuthnRequest>

Generating Signed AuthnRequests

See the github wiki for basic instructions on generating an X.509 certificate for signing.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/mattbaird/gosaml"
)

func main() {
    // Configure the app and account settings
    appSettings := saml.NewAppSettings("http://www.onelogin.net", "issuer")
    accountSettings := saml.NewAccountSettings("cert", "http://www.onelogin.net")

    // Construct an AuthnRequest
    authRequest := saml.NewAuthorizationRequest(*appSettings, *accountSettings)

    // Return a SAML AuthnRequest as a string
    saml, err := authRequest.GetSignedRequest(false, "/path/to/publickey.cer", "/path/to/privatekey.pem")

    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println(saml)
}

The above code will generate the following AuthnRequest XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
