I’m trying to configure a SAML 2.0 IdP with Shibboleth, but the metadata import fails. I also tried saving as a file to import, but that failed too. The log shows an Error Handling Route. Is anyone familiar with configuring Shibboleth for SSO through Ignition yet?
In what way does the import fail? Are there any error messages in the gateway logs when the import fails?
Next to the import button, the only message that pops up is “import failed” in red. See attached for the Error Handling Route message from the log.
Could you copy and paste the entire stacktrace text here? I can’t see which line number is referenced on the first line of the stack since it is cut off.
java.lang.NullPointerException: null

Can you attach (or DM me) a copy of your IdP’s metadata XML which is causing the NPE?
For posterity, @nickbrickner DM’d me the failing metadata XML, and turns out there is a bug in Ignition’s code which does not properly process IdP metadata when any KeyDescriptor tag under a IDPSSODescriptor tag is missing the use attribute. According to the SAML spec, the use attribute may be omitted, and if omitted, should be treated as use="signing". I’ve logged a ticket to fix this, and as a workaround for anyone running into this issue, you may download the metadata XML to a file on your computer, open it with a text editor, and change the following XML tag under the IDPSSODescriptor XML tag from <KeyDescriptor> to <KeyDescriptor use="signing"> , then import the metadata file into Ignition and it should work.
