Request Body Fields
operationMetadata
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|
| targetScope | string | Yes | - | Policy scope: ALL or ENDPOINT |
| targetEndpoint | string | No* | - | Endpoint path (required if targetScope=ENDPOINT) |
| targetEndpointHTTPMethod | string | No* | - | HTTP method (required if targetScope=ENDPOINT) |
| targetPipeline | string | Yes | - | Pipeline: REQUEST, RESPONSE, or ERROR |
| deploy | boolean | No | true | Whether to deploy after adding policy |
| deployTargetEnvironmentNameList | array | No | [] | List of environment names to deploy to |
| order | integer | No | null | Policy execution order (starts from 1) |
Enum: targetScope
ALL - Policy applies to all endpoints
ENDPOINT - Policy applies only to specified endpoint
Enum: targetPipeline
REQUEST - Executes in request pipeline (validates request SAML)
RESPONSE - Executes in response pipeline (validates response SAML)
ERROR - Executes in error pipeline
Enum: targetEndpointHTTPMethod
GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS, HEAD
policy
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|
| type | string | Yes | - | Policy type: policy-saml-validation |
| description | string | No | - | Policy description |
| active | boolean | No | true | Whether policy is active |
| keyStoreName | string | Yes | - | Keystore name for SAML signature validation |
| allowUnknownSigner | boolean | No | false | Allow unknown signer for SAML validation |
| clearSaml | boolean | No | false | Clear SAML assertion after validation |
| clearSamlPath | string | No* | null | XPath to SAML assertion to clear (required if clearSaml=true) |
Note
keyStoreName is required and must reference a valid KeyStore containing SAML signing certificates.
- KeyStore name is automatically resolved to KeyStore ID (searches in project KeyStores first, then global KeyStores).
- If
clearSaml: true, clearSamlPath is required (XPath expression to locate SAML assertion).
XPath Examples
/soap:Envelope/soap:Header/wsse:Security/saml:Assertion - SOAP header SAML assertion
//saml:Assertion - Anywhere in document
/root/saml:Assertion - Root element SAML assertion

Notes and Warnings
-
KeyStore:
keyStoreName must reference a valid KeyStore containing SAML signing certificates
- KeyStore name is automatically resolved to KeyStore ID (searches in project KeyStores first, then global KeyStores)
- KeyStore must contain public keys or certificates for signature validation
- Certificates must match the signer’s certificate used in SAML assertion
-
Signature Validation:
- Validates SAML assertion signature using certificates from KeyStore
- Signature must be valid and certificate must be trusted
- Assertion must not be expired
-
Unknown Signer:
- When
allowUnknownSigner: false, only signers with certificates in KeyStore are allowed
- When
allowUnknownSigner: true, validation proceeds even if signer is not in KeyStore (less secure)
-
Clear SAML:
- When
clearSaml: true, SAML assertion is removed after validation
clearSamlPath must be a valid XPath expression pointing to SAML assertion
- Useful for removing sensitive SAML data before forwarding request
-
XPath:
clearSamlPath must be a valid XPath expression
- Supports namespaces (e.g.,
soap:Envelope, saml:Assertion)
- Use absolute paths for precise location
-
SAML Format:
- Supports SAML 1.1 and SAML 2.0 assertions
- Supports SAML assertions in SOAP headers (WS-Security)
- Supports SAML assertions in HTTP headers or body
-
Performance: SAML validation adds processing overhead. Use for necessary validation only.
-
Pipeline:
REQUEST pipeline validates SAML in request before processing
RESPONSE pipeline validates SAML in response before sending to client
- Validation failure results in 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden response
-
Error Handling: Invalid SAML assertion or signature causes validation to fail
-
Deployment: Policy changes require deployment to take effect. Set
deploy: true or deploy manually.
