Usage

To use eIDAS Proxy Service, adjust Django settings:

• Set up Django template engine and static files.
• Add 'eidas_node.proxy_service.apps.ProxyServiceConfig' to INSTALLED_APPS.
• Set ROOT_URLCONF to 'eidas_node.proxy_service.urls' or include it in your URL configuration.

• HASH_ALGORITHM (optional, default 'sha256'): A hash algorithm used for token digest.
• SECRET (required): A token secret shared with eIDAS node.
• ISSUER (required): An issuer of the light token.
• LIFETIME (optional, default 10): A lifetime of the light token in minutes until is its considered expired. Set to 0 for unlimited lifetime.
• PARAMETER_NAME (optional, default 'token'): The name of the HTTP POST parameter to provide encoded light token.

PROXY_SERVICE_RESPONSE_TOKEN

Settings of a light token corresponding to an outgoing light response. A dictionary with following items:

• HASH_ALGORITHM (optional, default 'sha256'): A hash algorithm used for token digest.
• SECRET (required): A token secret shared with eIDAS node.
• ISSUER (required): An issuer of the light token.

Settings for the interaction with Identity Provider. A dictionary with following items:

• ENDPOINT (required): The URL where the Identity Provider expects authentication requests.
• REQUEST_ISSUER (required): The issuer of the authentication request registered at Identity Provider.
• KEY_FILE (optional, default None): The path of a key to decrypt Identity Provider's authentication response.
• CERT_FILE (optional, default None): The path of a certificate to verify the signature of Identity Provider's authentication response.
• REQUEST_SIGNATURE (dictionary, required, use {} to disable signing): Options for signing SAML requests sent to Service Provider:
  • KEY_FILE (required, string): The path to a signing key.
  • CERT_FILE: (required, string): The path to the corresponding certificate.

PROXY_SERVICE_TRANSIENT_NAME_ID_FALLBACK

Optional boolean, disabled by default. If enabled, PROXY_SERVICE_AUXILIARY_STORAGE must be set too. If the transient name ID format is requested in the request but a different format is provided in the response, a new random transient ID is generated instead of the provided ID.

PROXY_SERVICE_TRACK_COUNTRY_CODE

Optional boolean, disabled by default. If enabled, PROXY_SERVICE_AUXILIARY_STORAGE must be set too. Once enabled, the country code of the request is logged along with the status of the corresponding request.

PROXY_SERVICE_AUXILIARY_STORAGE

An auxiliary storage to hold some response metadata needed during request processing. It is required if PROXY_SERVICE_TRACK_COUNTRY_CODE or PROXY_SERVICE_TRANSIENT_NAME_ID_FALLBACK is enabled.

A dictionary with following items:

• BACKEND (optional, default 'eidas_node.storage.ignite.AuxiliaryIgniteStorage'): The backend class for communication with the light storage.

  • timeout: A timeout for socket operations.

PROXY_SERVICE_LEVELS_OF_ASSURANCE

An optional mapping of Authentication Context Classes (str) to Levels of Assurance (eidas_node.constants.LevelOfAssurance). The default mapping is empty so other classes than Levels of Assurance are unrecognized and propagated as an error. Example:

from eidas_node.constants import LevelOfAssurance
PROXY_SERVICE_LEVELS_OF_ASSURANCE = {
    'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:Password': LevelOfAssurance.LOW,
}

Customization

You can customize the authorization flow by subclassing view classes in eidas_node.proxy_service.views, overriding necessary methods and adjusting URL configuration.

  • Method: HTTP POST.
  • POST Parameters:
    • SAMLRequest (required): A SAML request to forward to eIDAS Network.
    • RelayState (required): A relay state.
    • country or the value set in CONNECTOR_SERVICE_PROVIDER['COUNTRY_PARAMETER'] (required): Citizen country code.
