SSL configuration issue with Spring-SAML
I'm trying to set up a SP based on "spring-security-saml2-sample", but when I deploy the WAR file on Tomcat I get the following exception:
Initialization of metadata provider org.opensaml.saml2.metadata.provider.HTTPMetadataProvider@443c35d3 failed, provider will be ignored

I understand that the exception is caused because the IdP (Oracle OIF) self-signed certificates are not correctly imported in keystore. Federation URL is protected with SSL so I've already included the SSL certificate in the keystore (samlKeystore.jks). I've also included OIF certificate used for signing SAML assertion responses.
Here is the securityContext.xml I'm trying with:

I suppose that SSL certificates for IdP metadata service must be added to samlKeystore.jks, is that right? Is there any additional configuration needed for handling SSL?
Thank you very much in advance,
Daniel.
Answer
By default Spring SAML doesn't use the samlKeystore.jks for verification of calls done with the HTTPMetadataProvider. This means that you will need to import the certificate of the HTTPS endpoint https://dominio.com/fed/idp/metadata to your JDK (typically jre/lib/security/cacerts).
There's also another option. I've just pushed a commit which will allow you to use the samlKeystore.jks also for these calls by including the following bean:
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean">
<property name="targetClass" value="org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.Protocol"/>
<property name="targetMethod" value="registerProtocol"/>
<property name="arguments">
<list>
<value>https</value>
<bean class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.Protocol">
<constructor-arg value="https"/>
<constructor-arg>
<bean class="org.springframework.security.saml.trust.httpclient.TLSProtocolSocketFactory"/>
</constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg value="443"/>
</bean>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
You will need to update to the latest trunk for the TLSProtocolSocketFactory to be available.
