SAML

​An identification through E-Ident can be performed using the SAML v1.1 identification protocol. This page outlines the identification process, the identification parameters, single sign-on (SSO) functionality and how to perform a log out.

SAML v1.1 identification

The figure below illustrates the identification sequence for an E-Ident customer using SAML v1.1.

 

 

  1. The end user accesses the E-Ident customer site with a request to log on. 
  2. The end user browser is redirected to E-Ident to begin identification. Sample identification request:  https://www.ident-preprod1.nets.eu​/its/index.html?mid=<value>&TARGET=<value>   
    Read more about the mandatory and optional identification request parameters.
  3. End user identification is initiated towards a selected eID. The end user supplies his/her credentials.
  4. E-Ident redirects the end user to the E-Ident customer's artifact resolver URL with the ArtifactID. The artificat resolver URL is defined upon customer registration.
  5. The customer sends a request directly to E-Ident to retrieve the user info based on the ArtifactID. E-Ident returns the SAML assertion containing all information about the user.
    Read more about the content of the SAML assertion.
     

Identification request parameters

The different identification request parameters are divided in these sections:

Mandatory

​Parameter​Description​Constraints
​mid​Customer identifier. This is an ID assigned to the customer upon configuration and must be used in subsequent requests to E-Ident.​NA
​TARGET​Data sent back to the artifact receiver after identification. Customers can use this to carry session specific data tokens such as name or URL of resource user intended to access, or a session ID. 

​Parameter name must be in upper case.

URL encode following parameters: [? | & | #]

Optional

​Parameter​Description​Constraints
​additional_info

​The additional info parameter can be used by any customer to enter their own information. The parameter value will be returned as it was entered in the corresponding claim in the ID Token or attribute in the SAML assertion.

In addition, the information is added to E-Ident statistics and may be returned to the customers as part of statistics. The last part must be agreed with Nets in each case.

​Format:

[A-Za-z0-9_\-帿ŨÆ]{0,50} 

Max length: 50 characters

​deflect​Where the artifact receiver should be opened. Options are to keep it in iframe (_self) or take over the page (_top).

Valid values: [_top, _self]

Default: _top

​forcepkivendorA comma separated list of eIDs. The list limits the eIDs made available to the end user for identification. See the next table for a mapping between eID and the constraint.​

​One or more of:

no_bankid, no_bidmobno_buypass, dk_nemid_js, dk_nemid-opensign, mitid, mitid:mitid_erhverv, se_bankid, passport_reader, mobile_id, smart_id, verimi, nets_sms

​locale

The language used to provide user with information during identification. If not provided, then E-Ident uses the language specified by the web browser.

If no supported languages are available in the browser, or the parameter, then English is used by default.


​Supported language codes:

Supported language codes:

[nb-NO |  nn-NO | en-GB |  da-DK  sv-SE | fi-FI | sv-FI]

​start​A customer URL that points to a start page. The start page is used as an exit strategy for users that opt out of the identification sequence (for example, choosing to cancel the identification process midway or after a status message is displayed by E-Ident).

Note:  The start URL is not used if a status URL is provided.

Format: URL

Range: only URLs to trusted domains are allowed by E-Ident.

Trusted domains are a part of the customer configuration setup. 

This parameter overrides the URL issued to E-Ident during configuration.

​status

​The URL is used to provide end users with clear messages in cases where an unexpected event occurs. Unexpected events can be errors during identification, change of status, or other relevant information not associated with a successful identification. E-Ident always appends a status code to the provided URL, so this URL must allow a status code to be appended to it.

Example: If the event uid.expired occurs, and the URL is defined as being https://customer/statusurl.html?su= (notice how this URL works well with the appended status code), then the actual URL requested will be https://customer/statusurl.html?su=uid.expired

​Format: URL

Range: only URLs to trusted domains are allowed by E-Ident

Trusted domains are a part of the customer configuration setup. 

This parameter overrides the URL issued to E-Ident during configuration.

​styleA customer with a specific typographic, layout, or colour scheme can provide a URL to a CSS style sheet. If provided, the given style sheet will be used when rendering web pages in a browser.

Note: style is ignored if the wi parameter is set to “n” or not used.

​Format: URL

Range: only URLs to trusted domains are allowed by E-Ident.

Trusted domains are a part of the customer configuration setup. 

This parameter overrides the URL issued to E-Ident during configuration.

​wi

The wi parameter is used to indicate that the user interface shall be embedded UI.

Note: The wi parameter may also be set to n to indicate standalone UI. However, as this is default UI option it is not necessary to use the wi parameter.

​Valid values: [ r ]

Single sign-on (SSO)

Single sign-on allowed registered customer sites in a cluster to share asserted end user attributes without requiring the end users to identify themselves again. A SSO enable identification is transparent to the customer and requires no special treatment in the customer application. The request and valid parameters are identical to those in an ordinary identification request.

Log out​​

​An end user session can be terminated using the log out functionality.

  1. Invoke a log out by calling https://www.ident-preprod1.nets.eu​/gls/logout.html
    Read more about the log out parameters.
  2. E-Ident will call the customers's log out URL provided upon registration. This allows the customers web site to clean any session context data for the end user.
