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: -Bindings: - * php5 no more depends upon an internal function of liblasso - * + >>> 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 reponse now produce 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('Value') + >>> print a.debug(0) + Value + + - 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 + - an FAQ file was started. -Tests: - * metadata test files from Renater were added - * add sp and idp sample files for testing with 1024 bits RSA keys - * performance test tool now accept a parameter to use a different set of sample - files - * consecutive dump and load of lasso objects is now tested as it MUST be - idempotent. 2.3.6 - November 29th 2011 --------------------------
