[security-dev] How to configure ServiceProviderAuthenticator do HTTP Post or HTTP Redirect ?

[Adam Dong]

Pedro,

Thanks for the reply. Just to confirm: on SP side, I understand I need to have IDP's cert with public key inside, but do I need to have that cert chain's root CA cert in my trust store; in other words, does picketlink SP side library check trust on root CA ?

Thanks,
Adam

Yes, you can. Please, take a look at [1]. You may also check the quickstarts for concrete examples.

Yes, validation is performed on both sides. You need the issuer's public key on the keystore of the verifier.
