NAME
Net::SAML2::Object::Response - A response object
VERSION
version 0.89
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SAML2::Object::Response;
my $xml = ...;
my $response = Net::SAML2::Object::Response->new_from_xml(xml => $xml);
if (!$response->is_success) {
warn "Got a response but isn't successful";
my $status = $response->status;
my $substatus = $response->substatus;
warn "We got a $status back with the following sub status $substatus";
}
else {
$response->to_assertion(
# See Net::SAML2::Protocol::Assertion->new_from_xml for the other
# construction options
key_file => ...,
key_name => ...,
)
}
DESCRIPTION
A generic response object to be able to deal with an response from the IdP. If the status is successful you can grab an assertion and continue your flow.
ATTRIBUTES
status
Returns the status of the response
substatus
Returns the sub status of the response
assertions
Returns the nodes of the assertion
cacert
path to the CA certificate for verification. Trusts the certificate embedded in the document once it chains to this CA.
One of cacert or cert_text is required for ensuring that the Response is properly validated.
cert_text
text form of the IdP signing certificate (FORMAT_PEM). Pins that exact certificate instead of accepting anything that chains to a CA, and is propagated to the Assertion by to_assertion exactly as cacert is. See "new_from_xml" in Net::SAML2::Protocol::Assertion.
insecure_trust_embedded_cert
Boolean, default false. When true, to_assertion proceeds with no pre-configured trust anchor (every embedded signing certificate is accepted). This disables effective signature verification and is intended only for local testing. Production deployments must leave this false and supply cacert or cert_text.
METHODS
$self->new_from_xml(xml => $xml, destination => $destination)
Creates the response object based on the response XML
$self->to_string
Stringify the object to the full response XML
$self->to_assertion(%args)
Create a Net::SAML2::Protocol::Assertion from the response. See "new_from_xml" in Net::SAML2::Protocol::Assertion for more.
