Add SAML SSO to a Genero Web application

Follow these steps to add SAML SSO to a Genero Web application.

This task must be performed in the .xcf application configuration file for the Genera Application Server.

Add the <DELEGATE service="SAMLServiceProvider"/> element to the application configuration (.xcf) file.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<APPLICATION Parent="defaultgwc"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.4js.com/ns/gas/4.01/cfextwa.xsd">
  <EXECUTION>
    <PATH>$(res.path.qa)/applications/myapp</PATH>
    <MODULE>App.42r</MODULE>
    <DELEGATE service="SAMLServiceProvider"/>
  </EXECUTION>
</APPLICATION>

With the above configuration and default JGAS configuration, the delegation points to the SAMLServiceProvider.xcf added to the Genero Archive (gar) file referencing the delegation REST Web service in the $FGLDIR.

The JGAS will handle the SAML protocol and start the Genero web application only when the user has been authenticated, otherwise an HTML error page is returned.
