The Shibboleth IdP V3 software has reached its End of Life and is no longer supported. This documentation is available for historical purposes only. See the IDP4 wiki space for current documentation on the supported version.

ScriptConfiguration

Overview

The Script (basic:Script prior to V3.2) type allows definition of complex filtering with a scriptlet as either a Mapper or a PolicyRule depending on the location. The script is either a Policy Rule or a Mapper depending on its location:

  • If the script is specified within the scope of an <AttributeRule> element then the script has to be Mapper, returning a Set<IdPAttributeValue>, which is added to the permit or deny list for the attribute in question.
  • If the script is specified within the scope of a <PolicyRequirementRule> element then the script has to be a PolicyRule (returning a Boolean), which defines whether the rule is active or not.

Schema Name

The Script type is defined in the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:afp namespace, the schema for which can be located at http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-afp.xsd

The deprecated basic:Script type was defined in the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:afp:mf:basic namespace, the schema for which can be located at http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-afp-mf-basic.xsd

Attributes

Two optional attributes may be specified:

NameTypeDefaultDescription
language              
Stringjavascript

The language of the script

customObjectRef 3.2

String
The name of a Spring Bean defined elsewhere. This bean will be made available to the script with the name "custom". See the ScriptedAttributeDefinition for more details.

Child Elements

One of two child elements can be provided

NameDescription
<ScriptFile>The path of a resource (usually a file) which contains the script
<Script>The script. It is usual to specify this within a CDATA

Data available to the script

The script has the following variables available

NameTypeDescription
filterContextAttributeFilterContextThe AttributeFilter context provides some information about the request, and a mechanism to navigate to other contexts in the tree
profileContextProfileRequestContext

The root context for the request

attribute (Matcher Only)IdPAttribute

The attribute being filtered

custom 3.2ObjectContains whatever was provided by the customObjectRef attribute (see above)
subjects 3.3

Array of Subject

The Subjects associated with this authorization.  Note that these will only be present if the attribute resolution has been associated with an Authentication (and so this will not work for back channel requests).

Examples

Inline Matcher
<AttributeRule attributeID="email">
	<PermitValueRule xsi:type="Script">
		<Script>
        <![CDATA[
            hashSetType = Java.type("java.util.LinkedHashSet");
            result = new hashSetType();
            result.add(attribute.getValues().iterator().next());
            result;
        ]]>
		</Script>
	</PermitValueRule>
</AttributeRule>

This simple rule just adds the first value of the attribute "email" to its permit list.

Externally specified PolicyRule
<AttributeFilterPolicy id="Example">
	<PolicyRequirementRule xsi:type="Script" language="JavaScript">
		<ScriptFile>%{idp.home}/conf/scripts/simple.js</ScriptFile>
	</PolicyRequirementRule>
</AttributeFilterPolicy>
Simple JavaScript PolicyRule
boolType = Java.type("java.lang.Boolean");
if (/* Some sort of condition */) {
  result = new boolType(false);
} else {
  result = new boolType(true);
}
result;
