Overview

The SAML2.SSO profile configuration bean enables support for the SAML 2.0 Browser Single Sign-On profile (the most common profile used today with Shibboleth). This includes support for "unsolicited" or "IdP-initiated" SSO via the request format documented here.

...

The most typical options used are described in more detail below, but not every obscure option is discussed. See the javadoc for all of the possible configuration options for this profile (note that many of them are inherited from parent classes).

Virtually all the configuration options below can be set via two different properties: a static property that explicitly sets the value to use and a lookup strategy or predicate property that takes a Function or Predicate and returns the value to use. The dynamic property is generally named "propertyNamePredicate" or "propertyNameLookupStrategy" for Boolean- and non-Boolean-valued properties respectively.

Notes

The default value of signResponses for this profile is "true", in keeping with modern best practice. As long as one of the response or assertion are signed, use of the profile is "safe" in terms of authentication integrity, but there are vulnerabilities in XML Encryption that make signing responses advisable when the most common encryption algorithms are used. Some of the backstory around the signing defaults is discussed in this thread.
