I can use some help.
I've got some very sketchy requirements to build Single Sign On to 3rd party website.
The documentation I have says that I need to :
Create an X509 Certificate Public Key Send a SAML post with some basic info to a specific URL
Use plain ( ASCII/UTF8 ) text
In the sample SAML assertion, the X509 certificate is supposed to look like this :
.....
<ds:KeyInfo>
<ds:X509Data>
<ds:X509Certificate>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</ds:X509Certificate>
</ds:X509Data>
<ds:KeyValue>
<ds:RSAKeyValue>
<ds:Modulus>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</ds:Modulus>
<ds:Exponent>xxxx</ds:Exponent>
</ds:RSAKeyValue>
</ds:KeyValue>
...
So I've created my self-signed certificate, and if I use the command
openssl x509 -noout -text -in ca.crt
I see the public key, but it's got 8 line breaks in it and looks something like this :
Subject Public Key Info:
Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption
RSA Public Key: (1024 bit)
Modulus (1024 bit):
01:a6:26:44:13:cb:ab:5d:37:83:b4:9f:25:a4:8f:
73:b8:e3:8c:a6:8a:58:13:a8:4f:af:43:8f:13:4a:
96:75:63:ba:8d:6a:43:9c:31:... etc
How can I use the public key in my Java servlet, running on tomcat, on RedHat linux. And how is it going to work inside and XML document ?
Or have I taken a wrong turn somewhere ?
Thanks for your help
