This is the Reference in your signature: <Reference URI="#Assertion"><Transforms><Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#enveloped-signature"/></Transforms><DigestMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#sha1"/><DigestValue>LFkVUeisRZJTnIwrlZ7pMxp/oeM=</DigestValue></Reference> If a Reference that produces a node-set does not specify a canonicalization algorithm as the last transform, then inclusive C14n is implicitly used. See section 4.3.3.2 of http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/: "If the data object is a node-set and the next transform requires octets, the signature application MUST attempt to convert the node-set to an octet stream using Canonical XML [XML-C14N]." The CanonicalizationMethod specified in the SignedInfo element does not apply to the References, it only applies to the SignedInfo element. To fix this, you need to add an explicit exclusive C14N transform after the enveloped transform, ex: <Reference URI="#Assertion"><Transforms><Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#enveloped-signature"/><Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#"></Transform> </Transforms><DigestMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#sha1"/><DigestValue>LFkVUeisRZJTnIwrlZ7pMxp/oeM=</DigestValue></Reference> You may want to check with Scott or the SAML forums as to the best practices when signing SAML assertions. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
