Other Samples

After successfully installing the UltimateSaml setup package you will see four SAML v2.0 WinForms sample projects in folder Samples\Saml\Win\CS for C# and Samples\Saml\Win\VB for VB.NET. To run these web sample projects, open the solution file Saml2Demo_XXXX.sln.

SamlMetadata

This sample demonstrates reading SAML metadata from the specified XML file.

SamlEncrypt

This sample demonstrates encrypting SAML assertions.

• Keystore File - A CER file containing the certificate to use to encrypt the assertion.
• SAML Assertion XML file - File that contains the SAML assertion XML to be encrypted.
• Algorithm - The encryption algorithm.
• Output XML file - The path to the output file.

SamlDecrypt

This sample demonstrates decrypting encrypted SAML assertions.

• Keystore File - A PFX file containing a key to use to decrypt the encrypted SAML assertions.
• Password - The password of the PFX file.
• SAML Assertion XML file - File that contains the encrypted SAML assertion XML to be decrypted.
• Algorithm - The decryption algorithm.
• Output XML file - The path to the output file.

SamlSign

This tool allows you to sign SAML assertions and protocol messages. It can be used to validate a signature for errors.

SamlVerify

To verify a certificate that is being used in your application, you can run the utility SamlVerify to see whether the signature is valid.

• The Certificate File is a CER file containing the certificate to use to verify the signature. Only specify this parameter if the certificate is being loaded from a certificate file or store. If the certificate is included in the XML signature, then do not specify this parameter.
• The SAML Protocol XML file is the file containing the SAML protocol response as XML.
