  * Webapps: let SAML requests through SAML requests are used for
    instance by Google Apps for your domain; they are implemented as a
    HTTP redirect to a URL containing the query parameter called
    "SAMLRequest". Besides letting the request through, we must also add
    the SAML domain to the list of the allowed hosts. (LP: #1302780)

Title:
  [webapp-container] Google Apps For Business support when using an
  external SSO provider

Status in Web Browser App:
  Fix Committed
Status in “webbrowser-app” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  When using an SSD provider and Google Apps For Business, the URL
  containment prevents the login sequence to succeed. The navigation is
  redirected to an external browser and the user can never log in from
  within the webapp itself.

  [Testcase]
  - Open the Gmail webapp (look for Gmail in the Dash, then click on the application launcher)
  - At the Google login prompt, authenticate with your Google Apps for Businness acccount: username@xxxxxxxxxxxx

  Expected result:
  - You authenticate successfully and can access Gmail
  Actual result:
  - As soon as you validate your login, you are redirected to the default browser where the transaction finishes, and are then logged to Gmail, from within your browser; not inside the webapp itself

  
  [Regression potential]

  None, the issue itself is a regression compared to the previous
  releases where the browser was used as the webapp container and was
  sharing credentials in a way sufficient to allow a successful
  authentication with Google Apps for Business.
