Service Provider delay while attempting SAML Artifact Binding

Follow
    Applies to:
  • SecureAuth Identity Platform
  • Legacy SecureAuth IdP
Deployment model:
  • Hybrid
  • On Premises
  • Version Affected:  9.2 and higher

    Description:  

    When SAML metadata has been shared by a realm with a Service Provider, some Service Providers can attempt SAML Artifact Binding instead of HTTP Post Binding or HTTP Redirect Binding.  This typically causes a delay while the Service Provider times out.

     

    Cause:  

    The metadata shared by a realm includes an AttributeAuthorityDescriptor with a SOAP binding.

    SecureAuth IdP does not currently have SAML SOAP support.

     

    Resolution:  

    Edit the metadata XML before sharing with the Service Provider. 

    Remove the entire AttributeAuthorityDescriptor section including everything within e.g.:

    • Should the Location Bindings using SOAP also be removed from the metadata?
