Revision of Identity propagation with SAML from Mon, 2013-07-08 08:00
Hello,
In my scenario I have the following entities:
- SAML secured Portal (Domain A)
- User
- SAML secured API( Domain B, so different domain than the portal)
- an IdP
The user will login first to the portal, when not authenticated, the portal will redirect him to the identity provider to login. Once logged in to the IdP and hence to the Portal, the Portal will possess a SAML token identifying the user.
Now this portal will need to automatically call the API (present on another domain), and pass to it a SAML token identifying the user.
Problem is that the portal only posses the token that has been provided to him, and hence my question:
How can I propagate the identity of the user through the invocation chain?
Many thanks in advance
Regards,
Ihab
