2.5.0 - September 2nd 2015
--------------------------
151 commits, 180 files changed, 8391 insertions, 1339 deletions
- lots of bugfixes (reported by static analysis tools like clang,
coverity and manual inspection) thanks to Simo Sorce and John Dennis from
RedHat
- xsd:choices are now parsed correctly by implementing a real finite automata
for parsing XML documents. New flag for jumping forward and backward in
schema snippets have been added. It fixes parsing of message from third
party not following the ordre from the schema (they are entitled to do it but
most SAML implementations do not)
- added C CGI examples for SP and IdP side
- removed the _POSIX_SOURCE declaration
- added support for the SHA-2 family of hash functions
- fixed protocol profile selection when parsing AuthnRequest
- added support for Python 3, thanks to Houzefa Abbasbhay from
XCG Consulting
- fixed default value of WantAuthnRequestSigned in metadata parsing
- SAML 2.0 ECP is now functionnal, thanks to John Dennis from RedHat
- added two new API function to LassoProfile to extract the Issuer and
InResponseTo attribute of messages, allowing pre-treatment before parsing
the message, to load the metadata of the remote provider, or find the request
which the response matches.
- fixed segfault when parsing HTTP-Redirect marlformed base64 content
- added support for automake 1.15 (jdennis)

Minor version number increase since ABI was extended (new methods).
- Key rollover support:
Lasso is now able to accept messages signed by any key declared as a signing
key in a metadata and not just the last one. You can also decrypt encrypted
nodes using any of a list of private keys, allowing roll-over of encryption
certificates. Signing key roll-over is automatic, your provider just have to
provide the new signing key in their metadata. For multiple-encryption key
you can load another private key than the one loaded in the LassoServer
constuctor with code like that:
>>> import lasso
>>> server = lasso.Server(our_metadata, first_private_key_path)
>>> server.setEncryptionPrivateKey(second_private_key_path)
See the FAQ file for the workflow of a proper key roll-over.
- Partial logout response now produces a specific error code when parsed by
lasso_logout_process_response_msg()
- Bugs in lasso_assertion_query_build_request_msg() were fixed
- Processing of assertions is not stopped when checking that first level
status code is not success, so that later code can check the second level
status code.
- A new generic error for denied request was added,
LASSO_PROFILE_ERROR_REQUEST_DENIED
- A new API lasso_server_load_metadata() was added to load federation files
(XML files containing metadata from multiple providers) and to check
signatures on them.
- Better warning and errors are reported in logs when failing to load a
metadata file.
- Bugs around missing namespace declaration for dump file were fixed, it
prevented reloading dumped object (like LassoLogin).
- lasso_node_get_xml_node_for_any_type() must be able to copy the content of
an XML node to another (namespace, attribute and children). It did not, now
it is fixed. It can be used for example to add specific attribute like
xsi:type="string" to a Saml2AttributeValue. Here is a python snippet to do that:
>>> import lasso
>>> a = lasso.Saml2AttributeValue()
>>> a.setOriginalXmlnode('<Dummy xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="string">Value</Dummy>')
>>> print a.debug(0)
<saml:AttributeValue xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="string">Value</saml:AttributeValue>
- support for symetric keys signatures: for a long time XMLDsig standard has
supported HMAC signature, or signature based on a shared secret key an hash
algorithm. Lasso now supports to share a key with another Lasso using
service or identity provider and to verify and sign SAML exchange using this
key. Performance can be 100 times more than with assymetric cryptography,
i.e. RSA.
- nodes able to hold any XML attribyte (like saml:AttributeValue) contains a
hashtable to for holding those attributes, those hashtable have a new syntax
for attributes of another namespace than the current node namespace,
inspired by the Python ElementTree library:
{the_namespace}the_attribute_name
ex:
{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance}type
for the classic xsi:type attribute.
- xmldsig:X509Data node now possess a binding as a Lasso object. You can use
it combined with the new class LassoSaml2KeyInformationDataType to use the
holder-of-key subject confirmation method.
- The perfs benchmarking tools now allows to select a different metadata set
(for example to test with different public key sizes).
- Perl minimal version for the binding was downgraded to 5
- pseudo-XSchema validation: the new XML deserializer does more to enforce
constraints of the schema defining SAML messages. It means Lasso is less
forgiving with non-conform implementation of SAML.
- thin-sessions mode: A new flag was added named thin-session, you can set it
using lasso_set_flag("thin-sessions") or by setting the LASSO_FLAG
environement variable to the string "thin-sessions". The effect of this flag
is to remove complete storage of assertions in the LassoSession object,
which was made mainly to support logout and the artifact binding for ID-FF
1.2. A new thinner structure is used for supporting logout, and ID-FF 1.2
can now use the same storage mechanism as the SAML 2 implementation for the
artifact binding (i.e. using lasso_profile_get_artifact_message after
artifact generation and lasso_profile_set_artifact_message before artifact
retrieval).
- better initialization and access to SessionIndex in logout requests:
LassoSession now store all generated SessionIndex for a session using a
small structure, using it the LassoLogout profile can now initialize
LassoLogout message with all of them. It's not necessary to implement this
functionnalitý in your service or identity provider anymore.
- new LassoKey object: this new class was introduced to simplify management of
keys when using shared key signature. But you can also use it to load
assymetric keys. In the future it should gain API to do XML signature and
encryptiong independently of any SAML 2.0 or ID-FF 1.2 exchange. Providing
the first simple binding of libxmlsec to Python.
- Improvements to autoconf and automake files to compile under Darwin (Mac Os
X) and Fedora.
- a FAQ file was started.

Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
On SP initiated logout, the SP x509 certificate was included in the
HTTP redirect URL. First this was an SAML standard violation, and second
it inflated the URL beyond 2038 bytes, which is the maximum length for
IE7 and prior. As a result, SP initated single logout was broken with IE7
and prior versions.
Alliance standards: ID-FF, ID-WSF and SAML. It defines processes for
federated identities, single sign-on and related protocols. Lasso is
built on top of libxml2, XMLSec and OpenSSL and is GPL licensed.
