Spring Security and Okta - spring-security

I've read several blogs about this subject and all the stackoverflow.com articles I can get my hands on, but nothing seems to answer the problem I've been encountering.
I've followed several Okta examples online, including the main blog post that was posted this year. I still run into the issue below, which when I trace through the spring-security code gets me to the voting process in spring and it fails.
TRACE 2017-08-22 16:45:11,128 [org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext] - Publishing event in Root WebApplicationContext: org.springframework.security.access.event.AuthorizationFailureEvent[source=FilterInvocation: URL: /SSO]

at org.springframework.security.access.intercept.AbstractSecurityInterceptor.beforeInvocation(AbstractSecurityInterceptor.java:206)
In my setup I'm not using spring boot or spring annotations, but rather good ol' spring xml configuration. I've look at the configuration enough that I don't see where the issue lies.

XML parser pool needed for OpenSAML parsing
WARNING: If customizing a ParserPool implementation See https://shibboleth.net/community/advisories/secadv_20131213.txt
Specifically the following should be explicitly set to avoid exploits:
1) set pool property 'expandEntityReferences' to 'false'
2) set feature 'javax.xml.XMLConstants.FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING' to true
3) set feature 'http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl' to true. This is a Xerces-specific feature,
including derivatives such as the internal JAXP implementations supplied with the Oracle and OpenJDK JREs. For
other JAXP implementations, consult the documentation for the implementation for guidance on how to achieve a
similar configuration.

This guide is a bit old, but it shows how to make things work with good ol' Spring XML: https://developer.okta.com/code/java/spring_security_saml.html

HttpServletRequest returns null session after authenticated IDP and redirected to SP

I'm setting up OKTA SAML 2.0 integration with Struts 1.0 in Wildfly 8.1.0. Earlier I had the same setup in JBoss 7 server in which everything works fine. I just replicated the same in Wildfly 8 but after the authentication is completed in OKTA and the web page is redirecting to my application in which
request.getSession(false)
returns null.
Here is my SecurityFilter.java
public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res,
FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) req;
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) res;
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
}

If the authentication is redirected to
http://localhost:8080/application
then there is value in the session
but when I try the same in production URL
http://www.myproductionsite.com:8080/
then I'm getting null pointer exception at
request.getSession(false);
You would have encountered this issue in Chrome v80 and above. Chrome now requires the session cookie to have samesite=NONE attribute if our application allows other domains such as Okta to POST data on the path /saml/SSO. This feature exists to protect applications against CSRF
If the cookie doesn't have the samesite=NONE attribute, Chrome will not include this cookie with the request Okta posts making your application see this request as a completely new request explaining the request.getSession(false) value to be null
Please see more here - https://support.okta.com/help/s/article/FAQ-How-Chrome-80-Update-for-SameSite-by-default-Potentially-Impacts-Your-Okta-Environment?language=en_US
There are different options to provide the sameSite attribute. The cleanest I think is by using spring session and providing a cookie serializer bean or using the latest release of spring session.
See this link for more options - Same-Site cookie in Spring Security

Spring SAML InResponseToField

I am using the Spring Saml Sample application but with a load balancer in front. I have change the contextProvider as following. Requests are being redirected to IDP and after authentication, I keep getting error "Caused by: org.opensaml.common.SAMLException: InResponseToField of the Response doesn't correspond to sent message a1agabe66iba055b26j9i0gac8ah48h"
Can someone help me out please.

Spring Security multiple authentication provider not getting to the second one

I have an app that uses Spring Security, was using a custom authentication provider just fine. I need to add a SAML IDP into the mix now. So I got the sample SAML application up and running and I use that security context as a base. I have my manager defined like this:
<security:authentication-manager alias="authenticationManager">
<security:authentication-provider ref="myAuthenticationProvider" />
<security:authentication-provider ref="samlAuthenticationProvider"/>
</security:authentication-manager>
Now when I submit my login form with a username/passeord that is only in the SAML IDP, I can see from the logs that it calls myAuthenticationProvider, which then throws a BadCredentialsException, then nothing. I don't see any other exception, and not a peep out of the SAMLAuthenticationProvider.
I have read the documentation a few times, and it seems to indicate this can be done, but I don't see an example. Does anyone have an example of using SAML and BasicAuthentication?
I don't think you need to add an extra authentication provider for a new IDP. You just need to add a new ?? in your CachingMetadataManager Bean. In the securityContext.xml provided in the sample app:
<!-- IDP Metadata configuration - paths to metadata of IDPs in circle of trust is here -->
<bean id="metadata" class="org.springframework.security.saml.metadata.CachingMetadataManager">
<constructor-arg>
<list>
<!-- Example of classpath metadata with Extended Metadata -->
<bean class="org.springframework.security.saml.metadata.ExtendedMetadataDelegate">
<constructor-arg>
<bean class="org.opensaml.saml2.metadata.provider.ResourceBackedMetadataProvider">

<bean class="java.util.Timer"/>
</constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg>
<bean class="org.opensaml.util.resource.ClasspathResource">
<constructor-arg value="/metadata/idp.xml"/>
</bean>
</constructor-arg>
<property name="parserPool" ref="parserPool"/>
</bean>
</constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg>
<bean class="org.springframework.security.saml.metadata.ExtendedMetadata">
</bean>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
<!-- Example of HTTP metadata without Extended Metadata -->
<bean class="org.opensaml.saml2.metadata.provider.HTTPMetadataProvider">
<!-- URL containing the metadata -->
<constructor-arg>
<value type="java.lang.String">http://idp.ssocircle.com/idp-meta.xml</value>
</constructor-arg>
<!-- Timeout for metadata loading in ms -->
<constructor-arg>
<value type="int">15000</value>
</constructor-arg>
<property name="parserPool" ref="parserPool"/>
</bean>
<!-- Example of file system metadata without Extended Metadata -->
<bean class="org.opensaml.saml2.metadata.provider.FilesystemMetadataProvider">
<constructor-arg>
<value type="java.io.File">/usr/local/metadata/idp.xml</value>
</constructor-arg>
<property name="parserPool" ref="parserPool"/>
</bean>
</list>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
If you un-comment the second bean in the list, it will enable another IDP specified in the xml file provided at /usr/local/metadata/idp.xml. If you want to add the metadata of another IDP over http, just copy the one for ssocircle and make adjustments.

Error on implementing spring-saml-security with WSO2

I am trying to implement SAML 2.0 is my application, by using my app as a service provider and WSO2 server as an idp. I have downloaded and implemented the spring-security-saml2-sample application and I have modified it to work with WSO2 server as idp and the sample application works as expected.
I am now trying to incorporate securityContext.xml and the related configurations into my application, however I am getting an exception during metadata generation.
The exception is as follows:

I have included SAMLBootstrap in the context.xml
Might be helpful for others. I faced similar issue and the reason this occurred was that another piece of legacy code in the system was re-instantiating OpenSAML library by invoking DefaultBootstrap.bootstrap();
Since SpringSAML already initializes it during container bootstrapping, had to remove initialization from legacy code
Having the complete securityContext.xml in your question would really help. But first of all make sure it contains the following bean, as the exception seems to indicate that the initialization login in SAML bootstrap wasn't executed:
<bean class="org.springframework.security.saml.SAMLBootstrap"/>
Also, try changing the bean to:
<bean class="org.springframework.security.saml.SAMLBootstrap" lazy-init="false"/>

As soon as I run my application on tomcat, I get a request for username/password basic authentication dialog. Even when I try to access: localhost:8080/myapp/version, which is explicitly set to permitAll, I get the authentication request dialog. Help!
Thank,
Sammy
You have the basicAuthenticationFilter in your filter chain therefor it's going to try to authenticate a user. The permitAll will allow any user, but the request still needs to have a user in the SecurityContext (retrieved from your UserDetailsService).
If you want those URI's to allow all access (even without authenticating a user) then do this:
<intercept-url pattern="/version" filters="none"/>
