Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server users of * * WS-Security and SAML or SAML APIs * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A SAML Attribute cannot be created * * that comforms to the OASIS SAML 2.0 * * X.500/LDAP Attribute Profile * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install a fix pack that contains this APAR * **************************************************************** It is not possible to create a SAML token that contains an Attribute that conforms to the OASIS SAML 2.0 X.500/LDAP Attribute Profile. Also, if a SAMLToken object is built from XML that contains an X.500/LDAP Attribute, the Encoding and xsiType attributes on the Attribute element are lost. This applies to SAML Web Single Sign On, the WS-Security SAML token consumer, SAMLConsumeLoginModule and the Generic Issued Token consumer and gerator, GenericIssuedTokenGenerateLoginModle and GenericIssuedTokenConsumeLoginModule.
Problem conclusion
The SAML code is updated so that an Attribute can be created that conforms to the OASIS SAML 2.0 X.500/LDAP Attribute Profile. Also, the code is updated so that, if a SAMLToken object is created from XML that contains an X.500/LDAP Attribute, the Encoding and xsiType attributes are not lost. The following APIs are added to the SAMLAttribute class: public SAMLAttribute(String name, String[] stringAttributeValue, OMStructure[] omAttributeValue, String attributeNamespace, String nameFormat, String friendlyName, String encoding, String xsiType) public static SAMLAttribute buildSAML20LDAPStringTypeAttribute(String name, String[] stringAttributeValue, String friendlyName) public static SAMLAttribute buildSAML20LDAPBase64TypeAttribute(String name, String[] stringAttributeValue, String friendlyName) public void setLdapType(boolean setting) public boolean getLdapType() public void setEncoding(String encoding) public String getEncoding() public void setXsiType(String type) public String getXsiType() The following APIs are also added to the SAMLAttribute class: public SAMLAttribute(String name, String[] stringAttributeValue, OMStructure[] omAttributeValue, String attributeNamespace, String nameFormat, String friendlyName) public static SAMLAttribute buildSAML20Attribute(String name, String[] stringAttributeValue, OMStructure[] omAttributeValue, String nameFormat, String friendlyName) public static SAMLAttribute buildSAML11Attribute(String name, String[] stringAttributeValue, OMStructure[] omAttributeValue, String attributeNamespace) public OMStructure[] getOMAttributeValue() Refer to the javadoc for the SAMLAttribute class for additional information on these new methods. Refer to the following Knowledge Center articles for information on how to add Attributes to a SAML token: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.0.0/com.i bm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc/info/ae/ae/twbs_managesamlattr ibs.html http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.0.0/com.i bm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc/info/ae/ae/twbs_addingattribut estoselfissuedSAMLtokens.html The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 7.0.0.37, 8.0.0.10, and 8.5.5.4.
