SAML for ASP.NET Core API

High Level SAML API

Add SAML SSO functionality to your web application with just a few lines of code.

A high-level, configuration-driven SAML API hides the complexities of SAML SSO, making for a quick and easy implementation.

Configuration changes, including adding support for additional partner providers, can be made with zero code updates.

SAML Middleware

The SAML authentication handler provides SSO support for service provider applications. The SAML middleware provides SSO support for identity provider applications. The middleware approach means even fewer lines of code.

Initiating SSO from the SP

A SAML authn request is created and sent to the IdP.

            
// SP-initiated SSO.
await _samlServiceProvider.InitiateSsoAsync(partnerName, returnUrl);
            
        

Initiating SSO from the IdP

A SAML response is created and sent to the IdP.

            
// IdP-initiated SSO.
await _samlIdentityProvider.InitiateSsoAsync(partnerName, userName, attributes, relayState);
            
        

Receiving the SAML Response

A SAML response is received from the SP and processed.

            
// SP or IdP-initiated SSO.
var ssoResult = await _samlServiceProvider.ReceiveSsoAsync();
            
        
SAML for ASP.NET Core API

Low Level SAML API

A low-level API provides complete control and flexibility.

The low-level SAML API allows access to the SAML profiles, protocols, bindings, assertions and metadata. For most scenarios, the high-level SAML API provides all the control you need in a simpler interface. For situations where this isn’t enough, the low-level SAML API is available.

SAML for ASP.NET Core Platform Support

Platform Support

The SAML library supports .NET Core 3.1, .NET 6.0 and above. All .NET Core platforms, including Windows, Linux and macOS, are supported.
