Salesforce SSO SAML Validation

Hi All,

 

I am creating a SAML assertion for the Salesforce SSO. I used OPEN SAML for creating the assertion.

Used keytool to create the certificates.

 

I am getting the following error when I validate my SAML response against the SAML validator in Salesforce 

 

11. Validating the Signature
  Is the response signed? false
  Is the assertion signed? true
  Is the correct certificate supplied in the keyinfo? true
  An exception was thrown on signature validation: java.security.SignatureException: Signature encoding error
  Certificate specified in settings: CN=dev.comityworks.com Expiration: 21 Oct 2012 07:15:05 GMT
  Certificate specified in this assertion: CN=dev.comityworks.com Expiration: 21 Oct 2012 07:15:05 GMT

 

The SAML Response is below

Hey Sachin,

 

I am also trying to implement the SAML assertion and while validating the same I am getting the same signed errors which you also got. Would really appreciate if you can tell how did you resolved your issue. Because we have uploaded the certificate and supplying the same in the X509Certificate element, however its throwing the following errors still.

 

Is the response signed? false
Is the assertion signed? false
Is the correct certificate supplied in the keyinfo? false
Certificate specified in settings: OU=IT Department, O=Make Positive, EMAILADDRESS=mandeep.singh@makepositive.com, C=UK, ST=NH, CN=MakePositive Root Certificate Authority Expiration: 11 Nov 2017 09:52:55 GMT

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

I could resolve the first 3 errors out of these. They were because the SAML XML used for signature was missing the ds prefix which is required and its namespace assigned appropriately. Example is shown below:

 

<ds:Signature xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#">
<ds:SignedInfo>
<ds:CanonicalizationMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#"/>
<ds:SignatureMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsa-sha1"/>
<ds:Reference URI="#_0f551f9288c8b76f21c3d4d15c9cd1df1290476801091">
<ds:Transforms>
<ds:Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#enveloped-signature"/>
<ds:Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#">
</ds:Transform>
</ds:Transforms>
<ds:DigestMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#sha1"/>
<ds:DigestValue>4NVTbQ2WavD+ZBiyQ7ufc8EhtZw=</ds:DigestValue>
</ds:Reference>
</ds:SignedInfo>
<ds:SignatureValue>---</ds:SignatureValue>
<ds:KeyInfo>
<ds:X509Data>
<ds:X509Certificate>---</ds:X509Certificate>
</ds:X509Data>
</ds:KeyInfo>
</ds:Signature>

 

 

However I am still not able to get past the following errors for the signature:

 

Signature or certificate problems
The signature in the response is not valid

 

I have supplied the private key as Signature and also tried its MD5 hash, but it did not worked. :(

Did you ever find a solution?
