Indicated by type="KeyDescriptor", this attribute extractor allows the signing/TLS or encryption keys advertised in an IdP's metadata to be exposed as attributes within the SP. This plugin executes only when extraction of an <md:RoleDescriptor> (or one of its concrete subtypes) is done, which is dependent on the use of the metadataAttributePrefix application setting.

Any public keys that apply (see below) are encoded as DER, using the SubjectPublicKeyInfo encoding commonly used in certificates, and then base64-encoded. At least one of the two attributes below must be specified.

Attributes

NameTypeDefaultDescription
signingIdstring

If set, public keys marked for signing or TLS authentication will be placed into an attribute with the specified name.

hashIdstring
If set, public keys marked for signing or TLS authentication will be placed into an attribute with the specified name. The DER-encoded keys are hashed before being base64-encoded.
hashAlg string"SHA1"Optional name of hashing algorithm to use if the hashId setting is used. The algorithm names to use here are dependent on the cryptographic library that supplies the hashing. In the case of OpenSSL, they're simple names like "SHA1" or "SHA256"
encryptionIdstring

If set, public keys valid for encryption will be placed into an attribute with the specified name.
