Subject: IDP Documentation Survey
Date: 11/04/25 17:04:34
Some of you may recognize me from my former roles in the University of Maine and University of Wisconsin systems.
I am working with the Shibboleth Consortium to identify and prioritize options for improving the IDP (and IDP related) documentation -- one of the items on the
Shibboleth Project Roadmap 2025-2026<https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AQDS0#Enhanced-Product-Documentatio…>.
If you are running the Shibboleth Identity Provider in production OR have utilized the existing documentation site(s), you are invited to participate in this effort by completing a survey sharing your experiences.
The survey can be found at: https://forms.gle/1BD4uLkvWDrkEuEV9
The survey can be completed anonymously. Optionally, an email address can be provided -- it will only be used if there are any follow-up questions.
The survey will close on Wednesday, April 30th.
Thank you in advance,
Steve.

Hej!
Tänkte höra mig för vilka MFA-metoder som används eller funderar på att användas som uppfyller de krav som AL2 och AL3 ställer?
Dvs, tekniker som uppfyller kraven och möjligen fungerar efter 2025/2027?
Vad är det för produkter som används?
Hur "brett" använder ni dessa?
Är det någon som använder samma MFA-lösning i andra system utöver er IDP?
Tror frågorna räcker.
Anledningen är att vi tittar på att uppdatera AL2 (eller AL3) där vi försöker få tips på vilka tekniker som finns och som går/kommer gå att använda inom Swamid idag och i framtiden.

Hej,
För kännedom till er som kör.
Tänk dock på att mjukvara TOTP inte är tillåtet i SWAMID efter 2025.

Hej
Jag stötte på ett litet problem när jag försökte uppgradera OSet på vår IDP-server (Ubuntu). Det är två paket som inte kan autouppdateras och verkar behöva skötas manuellt - mysql-server och mysql-client. Två frågor, vad exakt används dessa till på IDP-servern (den server kör endast IDP) och vad är smidigaste sättet att uppdatera dessa på (om det nu behövs)?

Hej,
För kännedom.
Är samma säkerhetshål som för Shibboleth SP som vi skickar om förra veckan. Men nu är det IdP:n som har fått en fix.
Inte lika akut som SP:n men ni bör nog uppgradera ändå.
Infon skickad till saml-admins + admin, teknik och säkerhetskontakt i metadatat för de Shibboleth IdP jag hittat i SWAMID

>
> An updated version of the OpenSAML Java library is available
> which corrects a parameter manipulation vulnerability when
> using SAML bindings that rely on non-XML signatures.
>
> The Shibboleth Identity Provider is impacted by this issue, and
> it manifests as a low to moderate security issue in that context,
> depending on its configuration.
>
> A separate advisory may be issued discussing the broader
> implications for those using the OpenSAML library directly.
>
> Parameter manipulation allows the forging of signed SAML messages
> =================================================================
> Vulnerabilities in the OpenSAML library used by the Shibboleth
> Identity Provider allowed for creative manipulation of parameters
> combined with reuse of the contents of older requests to fool the
> library's signature verification of non-XML based signed messages.
>
> The uses of that feature involve very low or low impact use cases
> without significant security implications, and allow an attacker
> to forge signed messages used to request authentication or logout,
> neither of which presents a major concern.
>
> The IdP's support for inbound SAML assertions (proxying SAML
> authentication) did partially support the POST-SimpleSign binding
> but is not believed vulnerable to an attack. This support was
> not documented and has been removed in this patch out of caution.
>
> A moderate issue resulting in potential information disclosure (but
> not forged logins) exists when the "skipEndpointValidationWhenSigned"
> profile configuration option is used [1]. This option does not
> implement standardized SAML behavior, and allows an IdP to be
> manipulated into sending responses to any URL contained in a
> request, provided the request is signed.
>
> This vulnerability allows an attacker to manipulate the IdP into
> responding to a URL of the attacker's choice, but in doing so the
> response can only be used compliantly by a Service Provider
> operating under the expected entityID and at that exact location.
> Furthermore, in most cases the enclosed data would be encrypted
> under a key known only to the legitimate SP. It would be an
> unusual and deliberate decision to implement this feature with
> an SP *not* also having an encryption key to use, and moreover

>
> Thus, a combination of a number of deliberate, and to some extent

> Recommendations
> ===============
> Update to V5.1.4 (or later) of the Identity Provider software.
>
> In the meantime, avoiding use of the "skipEndpointValidationWhenSigned"
> profile option in conjunction with an SP without an encryption key
> or which does not support the modern AES-GCM data encryption algorithm

Hallihallå!
Onsdag 26 mars med start klockan 09.00 kommer vi göra underhåll på metadata.swamid.se. Borde gå snabbt och smärtfritt, meddelar via denna kanal när allting är klart och verktyget redo att användas igen.

Hej
Det kom in ett mail gällande sårbarheten i OpenSAML tidigare (https://wiki.sunet.se/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=241119211) dock står det väldigt lite kring hur man går tillväga med en uppdatering. Finns det någon lite mer detaljerad beskrivning eller tutorial för detta? Alt om någon har gjort det redan och kan hjälpa med instruktioner för Ubuntu.
Är det fler delar som påverkas och behöver uppdateras när man uppdaterar OpenSAML?

Hej.
Som info.
För er på Windowsplatformen kvittar 3.5.0.1 eller 3.5.0.2 båda är säkra men 3.5.0.2 visar rätt version i loggen.
Linux
CentoOS/Redhat mfl finns ju RPM:er från Shibboleth.net <http://shobboleth.net/>
Debian - Släppte en fixad version för Shibboleth 3.4 i Söndags.
Ubuntu - Finns buggraporter men inget släppt officielt. SUNET kör en del Ubuntu dock inte senaste. En kollega har byggt för oss :-) https://launchpad.net/~sunet/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
