Spring Boot and SAML 2.0

Question

Is there a way to integrate SAML 2.0 in a Spring Boot-based application? I\'d like to implement my own SP and communicate with a remote IdP.

I recently released a spring boot plugin for this here. It is basically a wrapper around Spring Security SAML that allows for friendlier configuration through a DSL or config properties. Here's an example using the DSL:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableSAMLSSO
public class SpringBootSecuritySAMLDemoApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(SpringBootSecuritySAMLDemoApplication.class, args);
    }

    @Configuration
    public static class MvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

        @Override
        public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry) {
            registry.addViewController("/").setViewName("index");
        }
    }

    @Configuration
    public static class MyServiceProviderConfig extends ServiceProviderConfigurerAdapter {
        @Override
        public void configure(ServiceProviderSecurityBuilder serviceProvider) throws Exception {
            serviceProvider
                .metadataGenerator()
                .entityId("localhost-demo")
            .and()
                .sso()
                .defaultSuccessURL("/home")
                .idpSelectionPageURL("/idpselection")
            .and()
                .logout()
                .defaultTargetURL("/")
            .and()
                .metadataManager()
                .metadataLocations("classpath:/idp-ssocircle.xml")
                .refreshCheckInterval(0)
            .and()
                .extendedMetadata()
                .idpDiscoveryEnabled(true)
            .and()
                .keyManager()
                .privateKeyDERLocation("classpath:/localhost.key.der")
                .publicKeyPEMLocation("classpath:/localhost.cert");

        }
    }
}

That's basically all the code you need.
