XMLSecurity::SignedDocument.validate not recognizing X509Certificate text

[danwoolley]

I had this problem with two different providers. In def validate:

base64_cert = self.elements["//ds:X509Certificate"].text

returned an error because the ds:X509Certificate node was nil.

I changed it to

base64_cert = REXML::XPath.first(self, "//ds:X509Certificate", {"ds"=>DSIG}).text

and it was able to find the node and return the proper text.

I've already got a pull request up that fixes this issue (had it with PingFederate) so +1 on getting this fixed. See ticket #23

Ryan - I want to personally thank you for this project. SAML is very complex and I would hate to have to implement this stuff from scratch. It's much appreciated. Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the thanks - but I've not had much to do with this project other than the one patch I've just submitted!

This appears to have been fixed in recent versions of ruby-saml.
