Version 8.0.0

on GitHub

8.0.0 (2021-09-07)

This is a breaking release, if you were using the openid_connect frontend. To
keep compatibility:

1. Install the proxy with pip install satosa[pyop_mongo] in order to fetch
   the right dependencies.
2. If you were not using the client_db_path option then set the new option
   client_db_uri to the value of db_uri.

• The internal data now hold the authenticating authority as part of the
  AuthenticationInformation object
  (satosa.internal::AuthenticationInformation::authority).
• The Context object now holds a dictionary of query string params
  (context.qs_params).
• The Context object now holds a dictionary of http headers
  (context.http_headers).
• The Context object now holds a dictionary of server headers
  (context.server_headers).
• The Context object now holds the request method (context.request_method).
• The Context object now holds the request uri (context.request_uri).
• The Context object now holds a dictionary of http headers.
• frontends: the openid_connect frontend has a new configuration option
  signing_key_id to set the kid field on the jwks endpoint.
• frontends: the openid_connect frontend dependency pyop has been updated
  to work with both Redis and MongoDB. This changed how its dependencies are
  set. This is reflected in this package's new extras that can be set to
  pyop_mongo (to preserve the previous behaviour), or pyop_redis.
• frontends: the openid_connect frontend filters out unset claims.
• frontends: the openid_connect frontend has a new option
  extra_id_token_claims to define in the config per client which extra claims
  should be added to the ID Token to also work with those clients.
• frontends: the openid_connect frontend has a new option client_db_uri to
  specify a database connection string for the client database. If unset,
  client_db_path will be used to load the clients from a file.
  Previously, the option db_uri was used to set the client database string.
  If you were relying on this behaviour, add the client_db_uri option with
  the same value as db_uri.
• frontends: document the client_db_path option for openid_connect
• frontends: the openid_connect frontend has a new configuration option
  id_token_lifetime to set the lifetime of the ID token in seconds.
• frontends: the saml2 frontend has a new option enable_metadata_reload to
  expose an endpoint (/<module_name>/reload-metadata) that allows external
  triggers to reload the frontend's metadata. This setting is disabled by
  default. It is up to the user to protect the endpoint if enabled. This
  feature requires pysaml2 > 7.0.1
• backends: the saml2 backend derives the encryption keys based on the
  encryption_keypairs configuration option, otherwise falling back to
  the key_file and cert_file pair. This is now reflected in the internal
  pysaml2 configuration.
• backends: the saml2 backend sp property is now of type
  saml2.client::Saml2Client instead of saml2.client_base::Base. This allows
  us to call the higer level method
  saml2.client::Saml2Client::prepare_for_negotiated_authenticate instead of
  saml2.client_base::Base::create_authn_request to properly behave when
  needing to sign the AuthnRequest using the Redirect binding.
• backends: the saml2 backend has a new option enable_metadata_reload to
  expose an endpoint (/<module_name>/reload-metadata) that allows external
  triggers to reload the backend's metadata. This setting is disabled by
  default. It is up to the user to protect the endpoint if enabled. This
  feature requires pysaml2 > 7.0.1
• backends: new ReflectorBackend to help with frontend debugging easier and
  developing quicker.
• backends: the saml2 backend has a new configuration option
  send_requester_id to specify whether Scoping/RequesterID element should be
  part of the AuthnRequest.
• micro-services: new DecideBackendByTargetIssuer micro-service, to select
  a target backend based on the target issuer.
• micro-services: new DiscoToTargetIssuer micro-service, to set the discovery
  protocol response to be the target issuer.
• micro-services: new IdpHinting micro-service, to detect if an idp-hinting
  feature has been requested and set the target entityID. Enabling this
  micro-service will result in skipping the discovery service and using the
  specified entityID as the IdP to be used. The IdP entityID is expected to be
  specified as a query-param value on the authentication request.
• micro-services: new AttributePolicy micro-service, which is able to force
  attribute policies for requester by limiting results to a predefined set of
  allowed attributes.
• micro-services: the PrimaryIdentifier micro-service has a new option
  replace_subject_id to specify whether to replace the subject_id with the
  constructed primary identifier.
• micro-services: PrimaryIdentifier is set only if there is a value.
• micro-services: AddSyntheticAttributes has various small fixes.
• micro-services: ScopeExtractorProcessor can handle string values.
• dependencies: the pystache package has been replaced by chevron, as
  pystache seems to be abandoned and will not work with python v3.10 and
  setuptools v58 or newer. This package is a dependency of the
  satosa.micro_services.attribute_generation.AddSyntheticAttributes
  micro-service.
• tests: MongoDB flags have been updated to cater for deprecated flags.
• docs: updated with information about the newly added micro-services.
• docs: various typo fixes.
• docs: various example configuration fixes.
