[Bug 1689685] Re: SAML SSO authentication doesn't work as SimpleSAMLphp generates non-existent AssertionConsumerServiceURL

 

Hi Yaju,

We made some improvements for Mahara 17.10 in that area, which also
allow for ADFS to work. Can you please check the 17.10 code and see if
that resolves your problem?

Thank you
Kristina

Title:
  SAML SSO authentication doesn't work as SimpleSAMLphp generates non-
  existent AssertionConsumerServiceURL

Status in Mahara:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Wrong AssertionConsumerServiceURL is genereated in SAML2-AuthRequest.

  Mahara 16.10.3 and CentOS Linux release 7.2

  Since 16.10.x release, the SimpleSAMLphp library is included as a
  managed dependency with the Mahara codebase.

  We noticed that before sending an AuthRequest to an IDP, it generates
  wrong AssertionConsumerServiceURL behaving like it is hosted
  separately with Mahara which ends up in SSO failure.

  In our case, it generates  https://localhost/simplesaml/module.php/saml/sp/saml2-acs.php/default-sp
  instead of https://localhost/auth/saml/sp/saml2-acs.php/default-sp.

  We tracked down that it is generated using 'baseurlpath' => 'simplesaml/' defined in htdocs/auth/saml/config/config.php
  and
  $ar->setAssertionConsumerServiceURL(SimpleSAML_Module::getModuleURL('saml/sp/saml2-acs.php/' . $this->authId)); defined in htdocs/auth/saml/extlib/simplesamlphp/modules/saml/lib/Auth/Source/SP.php line 189.

  As a workaround, we have hacked the SimpleSAMLphp library for
  generating correct AssertionConsumerServiceURL which solves this
  issue.
