PlatformVersionLibrary for download
Java1.8 or higher
.NET4.5 or higher
.NET Standard2.0saml-validation-.net-2.0.0.zip
PHP5.6 or highersaml-validation-php-1.1.0.zip

This diagram describes the traffic that takes place when a user logs in to the web application: 

Sequence diagram


  1. The user visits the web application.
  2. The user logs in with the requested method. Nexus GO sends an authentication response.
  3. The user is redirected to the Validation URL, as specified in the environment.
  4. The authentication response is validated.
  5. The user is either logged in or denied.

Verify that the specified folder exists.


101

102

Failed to read IDP metadata

Verify correct access to read the file.

Used in java

103

Used in java

105

The metadata did not contain a valid X509Certificate, consult the Identity Provider.


106

IDP metadata missing required certificate

The metadata did not contain a valid X509Certificate, consult the Identity Provider.


107

IDP missing SingleSignOnService for expected binding

The library requires that the IDP has one, and only one, SingleSignOnService with type “urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-Redirect”.

Either remove duplicated SingleSignOnService manually, or consult the Identity Provider.

Used in java

108

The library requires that the IDP has one, and only one, SingleSignOnService with type “urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-Redirect”.

Either remove duplicated SingleSignOnService manually, or consult the Identity Provider.

Used in java

109
