PingGateway 2024.11

SAML 2.0 and multiple applications

This page extends the previous example to add a second service provider.

The new service provider has entity ID sp2 and runs on the host sp2.example.com. To prevent unwanted behavior, the service providers must have different values.

  1. Add sp2.example.com to your /etc/hosts file:

    127.0.0.1 localhost am.example.com ig.example.com app.example.com sp.example.com sp2.example.com
  2. In PingGateway, configure the service provider files for sp2, using the files you created to configure the Fedlet.

    1. In fedlet.cot, add sp2 to the list of sun-fm-trusted-providers:

      cot-name=Circle of Trust
      sun-fm-cot-status=Active
      sun-fm-trusted-providers=openam, sp, sp2
      sun-fm-saml2-readerservice-url=
      sun-fm-saml2-writerservice-url=
    2. Copy sp.xml to sp2.xml, and copy sp-extended.xml to sp2-extended.xml.

    3. In both files, search and replace the following strings:

      • entityID=sp: replace with entityID=sp2

      • sp.example.com: replace with sp2.example.com

      • metaAlias=/sp: replace with metaAlias=/sp2

      • /metaAlias/sp: replace with /metaAlias/sp2

    4. Restart PingGateway.

  3. In AM, set up a remote service provider for sp2:

    1. Select Applications > Federation > Entity Providers.

    2. Drag in or import sp2.xml created in the previous step.

    3. Select Circles of Trust: Circle of Trust.

  4. Add the following routes to PingGateway:

    • Linux

    • Windows

    $HOME/.openig/config/routes/saml-handler-sp2.json
    %appdata%\OpenIG\config\routes\saml-handler-sp2.json
