Diving Into SSO With Spring SAML and SSOCircle

Recently I've been working on integrating SSO in an old Spring project and for that very reason, I created a small PoC to get my hands on Spring SAML and all its subtleties. In this article, I am going to share my experience of adding Spring SAML to a Spring MVC project and integrating it with SSOCircle.

Also, note that there is KeyStore Explorer which facilitates easy handling of the key stores and it comes in very handy when you have to deal with importing the IdP certificates. Another thing to mention here is that Maven might corrupt your .jks file during the build process and it becomes unusable, so to deal with that I added the following plugin in pom.xml under the build plugins.

As it is already well-documented I want to mention just one thing, make sure to set samlContextProviderLB.setIncludeServerPortInRequestURL(true); if you're dealing with your server port and you need it in your URL.
