## README

# node-saml

Create SAML assertions. Supports SAML 1.1 and SAML 2.0 tokens.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/auth0/node-saml.png)](https://travis-ci.org/auth0/node-saml)

### Supported Node Versions

node >= 12

### Usage

```js
var saml = require('saml').Saml20; // or Saml11

var options = {
  cert: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/test-auth0.pem'),
  key: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/test-auth0.key'),
  issuer: 'urn:issuer',
  lifetimeInSeconds: 600,
  audiences: 'urn:myapp',
  attributes: {
    'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress': 'foo@bar.com',
    'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name': 'Foo Bar'
  },
  nameIdentifier: 'foo',
  sessionIndex: '_faed468a-15a0-4668-aed6-3d9c478cc8fa'
};

var signedAssertion = saml.create(options);
```

Everything except the cert and key is optional.

### Encryption

SAML assertions can optionally be encrypted, by providing a certificate and public key, as follows:

```js
var saml = require('saml').Saml20; // or Saml11

var options = {
  cert: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/test-auth0.pem'),
  key: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/test-auth0.key'),
  nameIdentifier: 'foo',
  encryptionPublicKey: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/encryption-key.pub'),
  encryptionCert: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/encryption-cert.pem'),
  encryptionAlgorithm: 'http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#aes256-cbc', // Defaults to http://www.w3.org/2009/xmlenc11#aes256-gcm if not specified
  disallowEncryptionWithInsecureAlgorithm: true,
  warnOnInsecureEncryptionAlgorithm: true
}
```

See [node-xml-encryption](https://github.com/auth0/node-xml-encryption) for documentation on the allowed algorithms. If using algorithms treated as insecure by [node-xml-encryption](https://github.com/auth0/node-xml-encryption), you must provide disallowEncryptionWithInsecureAlgorithm option set to false.
A warning will be piped to `stderr` using console.warn() by default when the insecure algorithms are used and above mentioned flag is false. This can be disabled via the `warnOnInsecureEncryptionAlgorithm` flag.
