OpenSAML user discussion

Hi,

 

Thanks for responding. I'm sending the SAML in a servlet session and then capturing it in a JSP for subsequent processing. I'm also making sure that the input to the Parser is indeed a base64 decoded version of the SAML. I'm printing this Base64 decoded content before sending it to the Parser and it is displaying the correct SAML file. However, I noticed one thing - when the decoded version of the SAML is printed, it looks like the following:

But when I right click and do a 'view source' on this page, it is displaying the decoded SAML content properly(the original content of the SAML)

Please let me know where I could be going wrong. I'm not able to get the document object as a result of parsing. The parsing process doesn't also throw any exceptions/error messages.

 

Thanks,

Laks.

Are you sure you are getting the right input value? You haven’t said exactly what you’re doing here, but if you’re doing the browser SSO profile, then the SAML Response would not normally be there as an attribute, but as a parameter. It’s also not known as “samlToken”.

I'm able to get over the bootstrap initialization problem. However, when I try to parse the Base64-decoded SAML, the document object is coming up as null. Here's the code snippet which I'm using for this purpose:
 
String samlResponseB64Str = (String)session.getAttribute("samlToken");
