NAME

samlsign - sign and verify XML documents

SYNOPSIS

samlsign <options>

DESCRIPTION

samlsign signs or verifies signed XML documents. To sign a document, use -s. To verify a document, omit -s. One of the -c, -R, or -T options are required when verifying. Either -k or -R is required when signing.

By default, samlsign signs or verifies standard input. Pass -u or -f to retrieve the document from a URL or file path. Signed documents are always printed to standard output.

OPTIONS

Options:

Option Description
-u URL The URL of the document to sign or verify.
-f PATH The full path of the document to sign or verify.
-id ID Rather than acting on the entire document, only act on the object with the specified ID. Only that object (with its new signature) will be printed to standard output.
-s Sign, rather than the default action of verify.
-k KEY Specifies the full path to the key to use for signing.
-c CERT Specifies the full path to the certificate to use for verification.
-R RESOLVER Specifies a credential resolver to use for either signing or verification.
-T TRUST Specifies the trust engine for TrustEngine-based verification.
-M METADATA Specifies the metadata for TrustEngine-based verification.
-i ISSUER Specifies the issuer for verification.
-p PROT Specifies the protocol for TrustEngine-based verification. This option allows specification of an arbitrary protocol by name, but more commonly one would use one of the options listed below for standard protocol names.
-r RNAME Specifies the resource name for TrustEngine-based verification. This option allows specification of an arbitrary resource name by name, but more commonly one would use one of the options listed below for standard resource names.
-ns RNS Specifies the namespace for TrustEngine-based verification. If not given, the default is SAML20MD_NS.
-saml10 Use the SAML1.0 protocol for TrustEngine-based verification.
-saml11 use the SAML1.1 protocol for TrustEngine-based verification.
-saml2 use the SAML2.0 P NS protocol for TrustEngine-based verification.
-idp Set the resouce name to IDPSSODescriptor for TrustEngine-based verification.
-aa Set the resource name to AttributeAuthorityDescriptor for TrustEngine-based verification.
-pdp Set the resource name to PDPDescriptor for TrustEngine-based verification.
-sp Set the resource name to SPSSODescriptor for TrustEngine-based verification.
