passport-saml-encrypted

A strategy for Passport authentication that supports encrypted SAML responses.

This is largely a fork of https://github.com/bergie/passport-saml Which seems to be dormant.

It was created to support encrypted SAML responses.

Returned data object:

Note: If there is a single value for an attribute, it will be a string. If there are multiple values, it will be an array. E.G.:

{ issuer: 'https://fedpocv1.corp.company.com',
  nameID: 'g2IpU4vJ53211ila09gh8wUtzgm',
  nameIDFormat: 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient',
  Email: ' lmarkus@company.com',
  Corpid: 'lmarkus',
  FirstName: 'Lenny',
  LastName: 'Markus',
  ROLE_NAME: [ 'R_DEFAULT_ADMINISTRATION_ROLE', 'V_V_OPERATIONS' ] }

Custom Request Builder Callbacks

Sometimes you need specific parameters and attributes for your authorization and logout requests. Using the following configuration keys, you can supply a function that returns a string that is the request xml. The params function parameter to the callback contains:

id - A unique id created for this request
instant - The instant time for this request
req - The request object.
options - The options you passed to SamlStrategy

An example follows:

fnAuthRequest = function(params) {
  return "<samlp:AuthnRequest xmlns:samlp=\"urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol\" ID=\"" + params.id 
    + "\" Version=\"2.0\" IssueInstant=\"" + params.instant 
    + "\" ProtocolBinding=\"urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST\" Destination=\"" 
    + params.options.entryPoint + "\">" + "<saml:Issuer xmlns:saml=\"urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion\">" 
    + params.options.issuer + "</saml:Issuer>\n</samlp:AuthnRequest>\n";
}

fnLogoutRequest = function(params) {
  return "<samlp:LogoutRequest xmlns:samlp=\"urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol\" "
    + "xmlns:saml=\"urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion\" ID=\"" + params.id + "\" Version=\"2.0\" IssueInstant=\""
    + params.instant + "\" Destination=\"" + params.options.entryPoint + "\">"
    + "<saml:Issuer xmlns:saml=\"urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion\">" + params.options.issuer + "</saml:Issuer>"
    + "<saml:NameID Format=\"" + params.req.user.nameIDFormat + "\">" + params.req.user.nameID + "</saml:NameID>"
    + "</samlp:LogoutRequest>";
}
passport.use(new SamlStrategy(
  {
    path: '/login/callback',
    entryPoint: 'https://openidp.feide.no/simplesaml/saml2/idp/SSOService.php',
    issuer: 'passport-saml'
    customBuildAuthorizeRequestCallback:fnAuthRequest
    customBuildLogoutRequestCallback:fnLogoutRequest
  }, fnSamlDone)

Contributions welcome.

Documentation from the original forked repo follows:

Passport-SAML

This is a SAML 2.0 authentication provider for Passport, the Node.js authentication library.

The code was originally based on Michael Bosworth's express-saml library.

Passport-SAML has been tested to work with both SimpleSAMLphp based Identity Providers, and with Active Directory Federation Services.

Installation

$ npm install passport-saml-encrypted

Usage

Configure strategy

This example utilizes the Feide OpenIdp identity provider. You need an account there to log in with this. You also need to register your site as a service provider.

The SAML identity provider will redirect you to the URL provided by the path configuration.

passport.use(new SamlStrategy(
  {
    path: '/login/callback',
    entryPoint: 'https://openidp.feide.no/simplesaml/saml2/idp/SSOService.php',
    issuer: 'passport-saml'
  },
  function(profile, done) {
    findByEmail(profile.email, function(err, user) {
      if (err) {
        return done(err);
      }
      return done(null, user);
    });
  })
));

Provide the authentication callback

You need to provide a route corresponding to the path configuration parameter given to the strategy:

app.post('/login/callback',
  passport.authenticate('saml', { failureRedirect: '/', failureFlash: true }),
  function(req, res) {
    res.redirect('/');
  }
);

Authenticate requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying saml as the strategy:

app.get('/login',
  passport.authenticate('saml', { failureRedirect: '/', failureFlash: true }),
  function(req, res) {
    res.redirect('/');
  }
);

Security and signatures

Passport-SAML uses the HTTP Redirect Binding for its AuthnRequests, and expects to receive the messages back via the HTTP POST binding.

Authentication requests sent by Passport-SAML can be signed using RSA-SHA1. To sign them you need to provide a private key in the PEM format via the privateCert configuration key. For example:

    privateCert: fs.readFileSync('./cert.pem', 'utf-8')

It is a good idea to validate the incoming SAML Responses. For this, you can provide the Identity Provider's certificate using the cert confguration key:

    cert: 'MIICizCCAfQCCQCY8tKaMc0BMjANBgkqh ... W=='

If the response is encrypted, you need to supply your public key to the SAML provider, and use your private key to decrypt the response. This is specified as:

    privateCert: fs.readFileSync('path/to/privkey.pem', 'utf-8')

Usage with Active Directory Federation Services

Here is a configuration that has been proven to work with ADFS:

  {
    entryPoint: 'https://ad.example.net/adfs/ls/',
    issuer: 'https://your-app.example.net/login/callback',
    callbackUrl: 'https://your-app.example.net/login/callback',
    cert: 'MIICizCCAfQCCQCY8tKaMc0BMjANBgkqh ... W==',
    privateCert: fs.readFileSync('./ssl/privkey.pem', 'utf-8'),  //need to generate key using openssl and put it in server
    encryptedSAML:true,
    identifierFormat:"urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient"
  }

Please note that ADFS needs to have a trust established to your service in order for this to work.

Usage no npm install needed!
