SAML SSO and the Genero Application Server

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is a Single Sign On (SSO) protocol supported by the Genero Application Server. It is based on a Genero REST service and is delivered in the Genero Web Services package under $FGLDIR/web_utilities/services/saml.

If you installed Genero Web Services with a different user, as the web server will run it, you must set write permission at least on saml.db and the parent bin directory, otherwise SSO service will fail to insert data into sqlite database.

Note: Genero implements only version 2.0 of the SAML specification and supports only the HTTP-POST bindings. It is only intended for Genero Web Client applications.
