F5 APM and SAML 2.0 Artifact Resolution Protocol

Am asking lots of questions this week :)

 

Am trying to setup an F5 SAML iDP config and the service vendor only supports using Artifact Resolution Protocol (or backchannel communications) where the SP is given a reference to the SAML Response and then it collects it from the iDP.

 

I'm unable to find any info about whether the F5 APM can do this, or if it supports it. Anyone have any idea on if its possible?

 

Thanks

 

  • Hello David,

     

    I am afraid that F5 currently supports the WebSSO profile only (POST-Binding). However I found a post promising it should work in future, considering complexity of the Artifact Resolution Protocol, IMHO it will take some time..

     

    Btw - it is unusual to have a SP supporting only the Art. resol. protocol..

     

    Best regards Gabriel

      Isnt the biggest vendor either so their choice of only that is a little challenging. Thanks for the answer
  • Good news is that Artifact mode will be supported in the upcoming 11.6 release. Very very soon....
