# How to test SAML as a developer without a server
|
|
|
|
https://fujifish.github.io/samling/samling.html (https://github.com/fujifish/samling) is a great resource for being able to tinker with the
|
|
SAML options within Synapse without needing to deploy and configure a complicated software stack.
|
|
|
|
To make Synapse (and therefore Element) use it:
|
|
|
|
1. Use the samling.html URL above or deploy your own and visit the IdP Metadata tab.
|
|
2. Copy the XML to your clipboard.
|
|
3. On your Synapse server, create a new file `samling.xml` next to your `homeserver.yaml` with
|
|
the XML from step 2 as the contents.
|
|
4. Edit your `homeserver.yaml` to include:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
saml2_config:
|
|
sp_config:
|
|
allow_unknown_attributes: true # Works around a bug with AVA Hashes: https://github.com/IdentityPython/pysaml2/issues/388
|
|
metadata:
|
|
local: ["samling.xml"]
|
|
```
|
|
5. Ensure that your `homeserver.yaml` has a setting for `public_baseurl`:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
public_baseurl: http://localhost:8080/
|
|
```
|
|
6. Run `apt-get install xmlsec1` and `pip install --upgrade --force 'pysaml2>=4.5.0'` to ensure
|
|
the dependencies are installed and ready to go.
|
|
7. Restart Synapse.
|
|
|
|
Then in Element:
|
|
|
|
1. Visit the login page and point Element towards your homeserver using the `public_baseurl` above.
|
|
2. Click the Single Sign-On button.
|
|
3. On the samling page, enter a Name Identifier and add a SAML Attribute for `uid=your_localpart`.
|
|
The response must also be signed.
|
|
4. Click "Next".
|
|
5. Click "Post Response" (change nothing).
|
|
6. You should be logged in.
|
|
|
|
If you try and repeat this process, you may be automatically logged in using the information you
|
|
gave previously. To fix this, open your developer console (`F12` or `Ctrl+Shift+I`) while on the
|
|
samling page and clear the site data. In Chrome, this will be a button on the Application tab.
