v4.0.3:

• Fix the expiration date for the SAML generated certificate
• Added a new ValueRetriever interface and its implementation SessionStoreValueRetriever for the OpenID Connect protocol

• Improved handling of expired tokens in OidcProfile

v4.0.2:

• Fix the ClassCastException when receiving a SAML logout response
• Send the access token as a header for the GithubClient
• CAS front channel logout: fix the 401 error after the logout
• Fix default CallbackUrlResolver in CasClient

v4.0.1:

• Type parameters: add the ? extends Credentials type parameter for the Client in the return type of the method find of the ClientFinder and add the UserProfile type parameter for the ProfileManager in the return type of the getProfileManager method of the ProfileManagerFactoryAware*
• Add setters on Color
• Pull the pac4j-saml-opensamlv3 dependency instead of the pac4j-saml dependency
• Remove deprecated behaviors: the retrieval of one CommonProfile in request or session via the ProfileManager and the retrieval of a String as the requested URL
• The default client name parameter used for security has a new value (force_client) to avoid conflicting with the default client name parameter (client_name) used on the callback (the old value is still used as a fallback, but will be removed)
• Allow pac4j-saml to store and generate SAML metadata and keystores using a REST API and provide options for extensibility so custom components can be designed and injected to manage metadata artifacts externally. Resolution of SAML2 identity provider metadata can be controlled/overridden.
• Handle a strange use case for the JEEContext where the request.getRequestURI() returns a path starting by a double slash
• Can return a custom profile when the authentication fails or is cancelled (“silent login”)
• Fix the CAS logout URL computation (for central logout without prefix)
• Introduce the WebContextFactory concept and the JEEContextFactory implementation

v4.0.0:

• Improved the profile manager configuration
• Renamed J2E components as JEE
• Started updating dependencies via Renovate
• A client can return any kind of profile (using a custom AuthorizationGenerator or ProfileCreator) and even a minimal user profile (UserProfile)
• HTTP actions are no longer applied automatically to the web context (the setResponseStatus and writeResponseContent methods have been removed from the WebContext interface), an HttpActionAdapter must be used for that. Multiple HTTP actions (inheriting from HttpAction) are created to handle the necessary HTTP actions. The RedirectAction is replaced by the new HTTP actions inheriting from RedirectionAction. The redirect method is renamed as getRedirectionAction
• By default, the CSRF check applies on the PUT, PATCH and DELETE requests in addition to the POST requests
• Renamed the SAMLMessageStorage* classes as SAMLMessageStore* (based on Store)
• For Google2Client, change profile URL from https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me to https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/userinfo. This change is to prepare for the shutdown of Google plus API. This change will remove the birthday and emails attribute for Google2Client.
• For an AJAX request, only generates the redirection URL when requested (addRedirectionUrlAsHeader property of the DefaultAjaxRequestResolver)
• Updated the APIs to use Optional instead of returning null
• Use the 303 “See Other” and 307 “Temporary Redirect” HTTP actions after a POST request (RedirectionActionHelper)
• Handles originally requested URLs with POST method
• Add HTTP POST Simple-Sign protocol implementation
• Properly handle states and nonces for multiple OIDC clients
• A profile can be renewed by its client when it’s expired
• Most web authorizers are now matchers. The default matchers are “securityHeaders,csrfToken” and the default authorizer is “csrfCheck”. Use “none” for no matcher or authorizer
• Use the FindBest utility class to find the best adapter, logic…
• Support for the OIDC back-channel and front-channel logouts
• Load the profiles in the ProfileManager (from the session or not) like in the DefaultSecurityLogic via the getLikeDefaultSecurityLogic and getAllLikeDefaultSecurityLogic methods
• REVERT: remove the ID token in the removeLoginData method (previously clearSensitiveData)
• The pac4j-saml module is saved as the legacy pac4j-saml-opensamlv3 module and upgraded to JDK 11 and OpenSAML v4

v3.8.3:

v3.8.2:

• Add customizable SAML post Logout URL
• QualifiedName must not be included by default in SAML authentication requests
• Added replay protectection to the SAML client.
• Fix SAML signature validation w.r.t. WantAssertionsSigned handling. Signing is now always required, even when WantAssertionsSigned is disabled. WantAssertionsSigned now requires explicit signing of the assertions, not the response.
• Added support for the SAML artifact binding for the authentication response.
• Sign metadata when configured to do so and open up the metadata generation API for customization.
• Never sign AuthnRequests with XMLSig when using REDIRECT binding, signing is done via the Signature query parameter.
• Added support for LinkedIn v2 API
• Added support for FigShare

v3.7.0:

• Fix SAML SP metadata signature
• CAS improvements: better service requests detection, support of the CAS server method parameter
• Fix the CasRestProfile with JWT

• Add the get, post, put and delete matchers based on the HttpMethodMatcher when not defined

v3.6.1:

• Multiple authn context class refs can be set in the SAML protocol support
• For Google2Client, change profile url from https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me to https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/userinfo. This change is to prepare for the shutdown of Google plus API. This change will make the birthday attribute return null and emails attribute resolve a single email from email attribute for Google2Client.
• Clean shutdown of the SAML2Client via the destroy method
• Do not clear the ID Token as a sensitive data in the OidcProfile
• Improve signature and digest methods for SAML metadata
• Enhance OAuth 2 generic support

• Added UserInfoOidcAuthenticator to authenticate a user based on an access token received from an OpenID Connect login process
• Updated the OpenID Connect/JWT dependencies (v6)
• Added DirectBearerAuthClient

• SAML SLO support with SOAP (ingoing only), HTTP-POST and HTTP-Redirect bindings
• OpenID Connect improvements: supports multiple JWS algorithms from the identity server, retrieves the Keycloak roles

v3.3.0:

• Improve SAML support: always return a default key which is a private one, add a SingleLogoutService URL in the SP metadata, make local and central logouts work together, allow attributes to be mapped to new names
• Default state generation can be overriden by your own StateGenerator for the OAuth, OpenID Connect and SAML protocols
• Custom OpenSAML bootstrapping in SAML authentication module

• AzureAdClient uses the PathParameterCallbackUrlResolver by default

v3.0.2:

• Properly handles all the HTTP codes in the setResponseStatus method of the J2EContext
• Added the setExcludedPath and setExcludedPattern methods to the PathMatcher class (for Shiro)

v3.0.1:

• The ProfileHelper.flatIntoOneProfile method returns an AnonymousProfile (instead of empty) if it’s the only profile

v3.0.0:

• Handle AJAX requests in the OpenID Connect logout
• All session interactions are done via the SessionStore (retrieved from the WebContext)
• All exceptions (especially HttpAction) are unchecked
• Upgraded dependencies
• Added “multi-tenancy” capabilities: you can dynamically define multiple callback URLs for the same client, except for SAML for which you need as many SAML2Client as the number of different callback URLs you want
• The CallbackUrlResolver computes the callback URL (using a query parameter or a path parameter to define the client), based on the UrlResolver which computes a URL
• You can define an error (page) URL at the logics’ level to handle unexpected exceptions
• The SAML Keystore alias can be defined via a property; SAML date comparisons are now UTC-based
• The client name is not set at the credential’s level
• The username of the AzureAdProfile is the UPN
