Shibboleth Developers

["Shahzad Younas" <>]

Thanks. But i want to do all this in java, and so my aim is to have a string containing the SHAR's post to the AA.

But instead of creating the whole message, it would be easier and less error prone if i just allow shibboleth to create it, and "catch" it before it is posted.

 

I dont wish to change anything of shibboleth, or directly add code into it.

 

The tcpmon idea seems like its on the right lines, but how do i actually leverage that in my java code?

 

Many Thanks

There's a couple of things you can do. You can use a simple proxy server (for example Apache Axis's TCPMonitor or Proxyimtron) that's designed for this type of work. Or you can just write a simple CGI/Servlet on the AA side.

 

Remember if you're doing it yourself (ie to automate testing) -- you need to send the Client certificate as well otherwise you won't get all of the proper attributes.

Hi,

 

Can anyone tell me how can I capture or intercept the HTTP POST which the SHIRE does to the AA for an attribute query? I am making a httpconnection in Java and I am trying to "automate" a user logging in.

 

I want to just capture that message, and then later POST it to the AA myself.

 

Many thanks

Shahzad
