APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When using AAA Authentication method "Retrieve SAML Assertions
    Corresponding to a SAML Browser Artifact", subsequent AAA steps
    using a Custom Template may fail to match on the value after
    upgrading from 3.7 to 3.8.
    
    The output from the authentication method changed resulting in
    the XPath that previously matched the contents of the SAML
    credential to no longer match the new format.
    

Local fix

  • Use the following XPath expression in your custom XSLT to
    capture the value of the SAML credential:
    
    string(/container/credentials/entry[@type='saml'])
    
    This will work for both the DataPower Releases 3.7 and 3.8.
    

Problem summary

  • The output of the AAA SAML Authentication credential was
    modified in 3.8.1.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Two SAML entries are now added to the output of the AAA SAML
    Authentication credential in order to provide backwards
    compatibility.
    

Temporary fix
