OpenSAML user discussion

["Denis Koelewijn" <>]

Chad,

Thanks for you quick reply. Let me clarify my question.

In my case the SAML Requestor receives an artifact from the SAML Responder via the user agent (redirect). To have the artifact resolved, I need to send an ArtifactResolve message to the SAML Responder. I'd like to do this over SOAP, so I need to create a SOAP ArtifactResolve message. This message is a request in a new request-response (to the SAML Responder), not a response to an existing request.

The HTTPSoap11Encoder, though, needs an HTTPResponse object to which the artifact is written. And that's where I'm stuck. Am I using the wrong class to do the encoding ?

I'm using OpenSAML2 by the way.

Regards, Denis

Not sure what you mean.

The encoder is tied to a response because its meant to encode the
outgoing message.  It's not tied to a "front-channel" vs "back-channel"
response.  There is not technical difference between a front-channel or
back-channel request, at the protocol level.  We just use the different
terms as a way to talk about requests made by the browser (or other user
agent) and those made directly from entity to another.
