OpenConext EngineBlock v4.3.0 Release Notes

Full support for SP Proxies and improvements to error handling.

SP Proxies are Service Providers that:

  • Have 'coin:trusted_proxy' set
  • Sign their AuthnRequests
  • Mention another Service Provider, also known to EB, in the AuthnRequest > Scoping > RequesterId.

For these proxies EB will act like a big brother and do consent, attribute release, WAYF and attribute manipulation
for them. Most notable implementation is the upcoming SURFconext Step Up Gateway.

List of issues resolved:

  • EB > 4 accepts SAML Responses over HTTP Redirect #83
  • Remove Management of 3rd party OpenSocial Group Providers from Profile #81
  • WAYF screen not valid HTML #79
  • Consistently apply licensing file header #76
  • Remove Internal endpoint #74
  • Full support for SP Proxies #64
  • Show more informative error when IdP denies user access #61
  • Add specific error message for IdP cert mismatch #55
  • Improve error message for invalid IdP signing certificate #25
