going beyond the F5 provided SAML AuthnRequest

F5 implements the SAML 2.0 standard but that standard allows for many optional fields. is there a way to set such fields in for example the AuthnRequest?

  • Generally speaking, the configurable options are (only currently I hope) limited to what you can set in the profiles. That said, if 1) depending I suppose on the the optional fields you're considering, and 2) you don't care about signing or encrypting the AuthnRequest, you could layer the SP policy behind a VIP and iRule to tweak the outgoing request however you wanted.

     

    Definitely doable.

     

  • thanks Kevin, i pretty much expect this to be the case but always worth to double check.

     

    if i got some time ill look into the layered approach, for now ill accept the situation.
