Following this documentation, the following has been done as of 2014-08-06:
- AWS metadata from https://signin.aws.amazon.com/static/saml-metadata.xml added directly to sp-metadata.xml in the metadata directory of the IdP home (/opt/shibboleth-idp/metadata/).
Note that this metadata includes a certificate with indicated use of signing, but not encryption.

- Custom relying party configuration was added to relying-party.xml to enable unencrypted SAML responses.
<!-- Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides no encryption cert, so diable encryption --> <RelyingParty id="urn:amazon:webservices" provider="urn:mace:incommon:alaska.edu" defaultSigningCredentialRef="IdPCredential" defaultAuthenticationMethod="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:PasswordProtectedTransport"> <ProfileConfiguration xsi:type="saml:SAML2SSOProfile" encryptAssertions="never" encryptNameIds="never" /> </RelyingParty>
- New attributes created in attribute-resolver.xml with names required by AWS.
The AWSrole is mapped from group membership in LDAP; initially only a single mapping is included, so additional roles will have to be mapped and added to this attribute definition as they are deployed. Of course the assignment of roles requires adding the group corresponding to the role and adding individual people to those groups.
<!-- AWS requires each authorized user to have one or more roles matching a role names created in AWS. We use of group memberships reflected as values in the "eduIsMemberOf" LDAP attribute This attribute will remain with a null value if the user hasn't been explicitly put into any such applicable group, meaning they will not be authorized in AWS and may receive an error from AWS --> <resolver:AttributeDefinition xsi:type="Mapped" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:ad" id="AWSrole" sourceAttributeID="isMemberOf"> <resolver:Dependency ref="myLDAP" /> <resolver:Dependency ref="isMemberOf" /> <!-- SAML 2 (only) encoder for the attribute --> <resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML2String" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:attribute:encoder" name="https://aws.amazon.com/SAML/Attributes/Role" friendlyName="AWSrole" /> <!-- Note we don't want to have any default value for this mapping, as there will be many group memberships that don't have any applicability to AWS. --> <!-- map group 'cn=aws:role:role-name' to defined AWSrole attribute format --> <ValueMap> <ReturnValue>arn:aws:iam::688521806680:role/$1,arn:aws:iam::688521806680:saml-provider/OITshibb</ReturnValue> <SourceValue ignoreCase="true">cn=aws:688521806680:role:(.*?),ou=group,dc=alaska,dc=edu</SourceValue> </ValueMap> </resolver:AttributeDefinition>
The AWSsessionID appears to be intended to link activity to a user; we agreed to use the scoped version of the user's BannerID as it is unchanging.
<!-- AWS "Role Session Name" is an identifier for the session; AWS docs suggest individual identifier like username or email --> <!-- We'll use the persistent uakPersonID or eduPersonUniqueID to facilitate persistence of name for audit --> <resolver:AttributeDefinition id="AWSsessionID" xsi:type="Simple" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:ad" sourceAttributeID="eduPersonUniqueId"> <resolver:Dependency ref="eduPersonUniqueId" /> <resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML2ScopedString" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:attribute:encoder" name="https://aws.amazon.com/SAML/Attributes/RoleSessionName" friendlyName="AWSsessionID" /> </resolver:AttributeDefinition> <resolver:AttributeDefinition id="ADmemberOf" xsi:type="Simple" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resolver:ad" sourceAttributeID="memberOf"> <resolver:Dependency ref="uaADLDAP" /> <resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML2String" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:attribute:encoder" name="urn:oid:1.2.840.113556.1.2.102" friendlyName="ADmemberOf" /> </resolver:AttributeDefinition>
- An attribute release policy currently releases ONLY these required custom attributes plus the opaque transientId used for the NameID in the subject portion of the SAML assertion.
- AWS apparently cannot initiate a request to the IdP, so we use "unsolicited" SSO. The following URL initiates such a request and relays the SAML to the appropriate end point specified in the AWS metadata.
https://idp.alaska.edu/idp/profile/SAML2/Unsolicited/SSO?providerId=urn%3Aamazon%3Awebservices
As of 2014-08-12, this URL and IdP configuration logs UA users into AWS and presents roles corresponding to their group memberships.
