Infocard Configuration

You have to configure infocard profile and login handlers in handlers.xml; and the infocard relying party in relying-party.xml.

If you want to permit Service Providers to request non-eduPerson attributes, which is usually the case, those will have to be configured in your attribute-resolver.xml as well.

Create an SP entity.

Add to one of your local metadata files:

   <EntityDescriptor entityID="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:infocard"
                  xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata"
                  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
      <SPSSODescriptor protocolSupportEnumeration="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol
                urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:protocol">
           <!-- This tells IdPs that you only need transient identifiers. -->
           <NameIDFormat>urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient</NameIDFormat>
           <NameIDFormat>urn:mace:shibboleth:1.0:nameIdentifier</NameIDFormat>
         </SPSSODescriptor>

        <Organization>
                <OrganizationName xml:lang="en">(some name)</OrganizationName>
                <OrganizationDisplayName xml:lang="en">(some display name)</OrganizationDisplayName>
                <OrganizationURL xml:lang="en">(some URL)</OrganizationURL>
        </Organization>
        <ContactPerson contactType="technical">
                <SurName>your name</SurName>
                <EmailAddress>your address</EmailAddress>

        </ContactPerson>
     </EntityDescriptor>

Configure profile handlers.

handler.xml:

Add this namespace definition:

xmlns:icard="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:idp:infocard"

Add to the schema location:

urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:idp:infocard classpath:/schema/infocard.xsd

Add these ProfileHandler endpoints:

<!-- Infocard profile handlers -->

    <ProfileHandler xsi:type="icard:InfocardStatus">
        <RequestPath>/infocard/status</RequestPath>
    </ProfileHandler>

    <!-- the '.crd' path is needed for some IS to identify the content as a card -->
    <ProfileHandler xsi:type="icard:InfocardCard" relyingParty="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:infocard">
      <RequestPath>/infocard/card</RequestPath>
      <RequestPath>/infocard/card/your_name.crd</RequestPath>
    </ProfileHandler>

    <ProfileHandler xsi:type="icard:InfocardMex" relyingParty="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:infocard">
        <RequestPath>/infocard/mex</RequestPath>
    </ProfileHandler>

    <ProfileHandler xsi:type="icard:InfocardMex" relyingParty="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:infocard">
        <RequestPath>/infocard/mex/pw</RequestPath>
    </ProfileHandler>

    <ProfileHandler xsi:type="icard:InfocardMex" relyingParty="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:infocard">
        <RequestPath>/infocard/mex/pc</RequestPath>
    </ProfileHandler>

    <ProfileHandler xsi:type="icard:InfocardSTS" relyingParty="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:infocard">
        <RequestPath>/infocard/sts</RequestPath>
    </ProfileHandler>

Configure the infocard relying party.

relying-party.xml:

Add this namespace definition:

xmlns:icard="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:idp:infocard-rp"

Add to the schema location:

urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:idp:infocard-rp classpath:/schema/infocard-rp.xsd

Define the infocard relying party. By convention, claims are specified by "namespace/attribute", so the claim definitions can be a little long.

The signing credential must be the credential used by your webserver's browser port.

<RelyingParty id="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:infocard"
                  provider="your_provider_id"
                  defaultAuthenticationMethod="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:unspecified"
                  defaultSigningCredentialRef="some_credential">
        <ProfileConfiguration xsi:type="icard:InfocardCardProfile"
                 cardName="some_name" cardId="some_id:{0}" cardVersion="1"
                 imageGenerator="path_to_your_image_generator"

                 stsAddress="https://your_server/idp/profile/infocard/sts"
                 privacyNotice="https://your_server/path_to_privacynotice">

           <!-- JDBC configuration for the "managed card backed by personal card" auth method -->

login.config

Add a stanza for your authn, for example:

InfocardUserPassAuth {
  com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;
};
