SAML v2 Identity Provider APIs

Overview

This API has been available since 1.6.0

SAML v2 identity providers connect to external SAML v2 login systems. This type of login will optionally provide a Login with …​ button on FusionAuth’s login page. This button is customizable by using different properties of the identity provider.

Optionally, this identity provider can define one or more domains it is associated with. This is useful for allowing employees to log in with their corporate credentials. As long as the company has an identity solution that provides SAML v2, you can leverage this feature. This is referred to as a Domain Based Identity Provider. If you enable domains for an identity provider, the Login with …​ button will not be displayed. Instead, only the email form field will be displayed initially on the FusionAuth login page. Once the user types in their email address, FusionAuth will determine if the user is logging in locally or if they should be redirected to this identity provider. This is determined by extracting the domain from their email address and comparing it to the domains associated with the identity provider.

FusionAuth will locate the user’s email address in the SAML assertion which will be used to create or lookup the existing user. Additional claims from the SAML response can be used to reconcile the User to FusionAuth by using a SAML v2 Reconcile Lambda. Unless you assign a reconcile lambda to this provider, on the email address will be used from the available assertions returned by the SAML v2 identity provider.

Create a SAML v2 Identity Provider

Request

Create a SAML v2 Identity Provider using a generated id

URI

POST /api/identity-provider

Create a SAML v2 Identity Provider with the provided unique id

URI

POST /api/identity-provider/{identityProviderId}

The type property in the request JSON is used to determine that you are managing an SAML v2 identity provider.

Request Parameters

identityProviderId [UUID] Optional defaults to secure random UUID

The Id to use for the new Identity Provider. If an id is not provided, a secure random UUID is generated.

Request Body

identityProvider.applicationConfiguration [Map<UUID, Object>] Optional

The configuration for each Application that the identity provider is enabled for.

identityProvider.applicationConfiguration[applicationId].buttonImageURL [String] Optional

This is an optional Application specific override for the top level buttonImageURL.

identityProvider.applicationConfiguration[applicationId].buttonText [String] Optional

This is an optional Application specific override for the top level buttonText.

identityProvider.applicationConfiguration[applicationId].createRegistration [Boolean] Optional defaults to true

Determines if a UserRegistration is created for the User automatically or not. If a user doesn’t exist in FusionAuth and logs in through an identity provider, this boolean controls whether or not FusionAuth creates a registration for the User in the Application they are logging into.

identityProvider.applicationConfiguration[applicationId].enabled [Boolean] Optional defaults to false

Determines if this identity provider is enabled for the Application specified by the applicationId key.

identityProvider.buttonImageURL [String] Optional

The top-level button image (URL) to use on the FusionAuth login page for this Identity Provider.

identityProvider.buttonText [String] Required

The top-level button text to use on the FusionAuth login page for this Identity Provider.

identityProvider.debug [Boolean] Optional defaults to false Available since 1.7.3

Determines if debug is enabled for this provider. When enabled, each time this provider is invoked to reconcile a login an Event Log will be created.

This is useful for debugging purposes, but is not intended to be left on during production. It should be enabled during integration or if you are experiencing an issue with this identity provider.

identityProvider.domains [Array<String>] Optional

This is an optional list of domains that this SAML v2 provider should be used for. This converts the FusionAuth login form to a domain-based login form. This type of form first asks the user for their email. FusionAuth then uses their email to determine if an identity provider should be used. If an identity provider should be used, the browser is redirected to the login URL of that identity provider. Otherwise, the password field is revealed on the form so that the user can login using FusionAuth.

identityProvider.emailClaim [String] Optional

The name of the email claim (Attribute in the Assertion element) in the SAML response that FusionAuth uses to uniquely identity the user. If this is not set, the useNameIdForEmail flag must be true.

identityProvider.enabled [Boolean] Optional defaults to false

Determines if this provider is enabled. If it is false then it will be disabled globally.

identityProvider.idpEndpoint [String] Optional

The SAML v2 login page of the identity provider.

identityProvider.keyId [UUID] Required

The id of the key stored in Key Master that is used to verify the SAML response sent back to FusionAuth from the identity provider. This key must be a verification only key or certificate (meaning that it only has a public key component).

identityProvider.lambdaConfiguration.reconcileId [UUID] Optional

The id of a SAML reconcile lambda that is applied when the identity provider sends back a successful SAML response.

The specified Lambda Id must be of type SAMLv2Reconcile.

identityProvider.name [String] Required

The name of this SAML v2 identity provider. This is only used for display purposes.

identityProvider.postRequest [Boolean] Optional Defaults to false Available since 1.20.0

When true the authentication request will use the HTTP POST binding with the identity provider instead of the default Redirect binding which uses the HTTP GET method.

identityProvider.requestSigningKeyId [UUID] Optional Available since 1.20.0

The key pair Id to use to sign the SAML request.

Required when identityProvider.signRequest is true.

identityProvider.signRequest [Boolean] Optional Defaults to false Available since 1.20.0

When true authentication requests sent to the identity provider will be signed.

identityProvider.type [String] Required

This field must be set to SAMLv2.

identityProvider.useNameIdForEmail [Boolean] Optional Defaults to false

Whether or not FusionAuth will use the NameID element value as the email address of the user for reconciliation processing. If this is false, then the emailClaim property must be set.

identityProvider.xmlSignatureC14nMethod [String] Optional Defaults to exclusive Available since 1.20.0

The XML signature canonicalization method used when digesting and signing the SAML request.

Required when identityProvider.signRequest and identityProvider.postRequest are true.

Update a SAML v2 Identity Provider

Request

Update an Identity Provider

URI

PUT /api/identity-provider/{identityProviderId}

PATCH /api/identity-provider/{identityProviderId}

Available since 1.12.0

When using the PATCH method, use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request. The PATCH method will merge the provided request parameters into the existing object, this means all parameters are optional when using the PATCH method and you only provide the values you want changed. A null value can be used to remove a value. Patching an Array will result in all values from the new list being appended to the existing list, this is a known limitation to the current implementation of PATCH.

Start a SAML v2 Login Request

This API has been available since 1.19.0

This API is used to initiate a SAML v2 login request when integrating without the FusionAuth hosted login pages.

The SAML v2 AuthN request will require a unique request identifier. This API must be used to record this identifier prior to sending the SAML response from the IdP to FusionAuth in order to protect against SAML response replay attacks. You may optionally provide an identifier to this API if you need to generate your own identifier, or use the generated value provided in the API response.

Request

Complete a SAML v2 Login

This API allows you to complete a SAML v2 login after the user has authenticated with a SAML v2 identity provider. If you are using the FusionAuth login UI with the SAML v2 button you will not utilize this API directly.

This API is intended to be used if you want to build your own login page and you have added a SAML v2 login button to this page.

For example, if you built your own login page, you could add a Login with Pied Piper button to utilize a third party SAML v2 identity provider. When the user completes the SAML v2 login step, they will be redirected back to your application. This is done via a form submit (using the HTTP POST method). This POST will contain a parameter named SAMLResponse. Using this API you can pass the SAMLResponse returned from the SAML v2 provider to FusionAuth and we will complete the login workflow and reconcile the user to FusionAuth.

The user does not need to exist yet in FusionAuth to utilize this API. The SAMLResponse returned from the SAML v2 provider will be used to retrieve the user’s email address, if that user does not yet exist in FusionAuth the user will be created. If create registration has been enabled for this identity provider and the user does not yet have a registration for this application, a registration will be automatically created for the user. The user will be assigned any default roles configured for the application. If create registration has not been enabled, a registration will not be created if one does not yet exist. This last scenario is useful if you wish to manually provision users and then subsequently allow them to login with this SAML v2 identity provider.

Request

Complete SAML v2 Login

URI

POST /api/identity-provider/login

Request Headers

X-Forwarded-For [String] Optional

The IP address of a client requesting authentication. If the IP address is provided it will be stored for login history of the user. It is generally preferred to specify the IP address in the request body. If it is not provided in the request body this header value will be used if available, the request body value will take precedence.

X-FusionAuth-TenantId [String] Optional

The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.

The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.

Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.

See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.

Request Body

applicationId [UUID] Required

The Id of the Application the user is to be logged into. This application must have SAML v2 login enabled for this request to succeed.

identityProviderId [UUID] Required

The unique Id of the identity provider to process this login request.

ipAddress [String] Optional

The IP address of the end-user that is logging into FusionAuth. If this value is omitted FusionAuth will attempt to obtain the IP address of the client, the value will be that of the X-Forwarded-For header if provided or the last proxy that sent the request. The IP address will be stored in the User login history.

data.samlResponse [String] Required

The SAMLResponse parameter from the form submit (via a POST request) from the SAML v2 identity provider.

metaData.device.description [String] Optional

A human readable description of the device represented by the device parameter.

metaData.device.lastAccessedAddress [String] Optional

The IP address of this login request.

metaData.device.name [String] Optional

A human readable name of the device represented by the device parameter.

metaData.device.type [String] Optional

The type of device represented by the device parameter. The following types may be specified:

  • BROWSER

  • DESKTOP

  • LAPTOP

  • MOBILE

  • OTHER

  • SERVER

  • TABLET

  • TV

  • UNKNOWN

noJWT [Boolean] Optional defaults to false

When this value is set to true a JWT will not be issued as part of this request. The response body will not contain the token field, and the access_token and refresh_token cookies will not be written to the HTTP response.

This optional parameter may be helpful when performing high volume authentication requests and the JWT is not being utilized, in this scenario removing the additional latency required to issue and sign the JWT may have a measurable cumulative effect on performance.
