With this post I am to share the steps of a popular solution using WSO2 Identity Server and WSO2 API Manager. Following diagram will give an initial insight on this solution. Overview 1.  Webapp that requires single sign on(SSO) facility with some other applications.                  - To achieve this we are using WSO2 Identity Server(IS) as the Identity Provider(IDP).  2.  Webapp needs to consume some APIs secured with OAuth tokens.                  - To expose the APIs secured with OAuth tokens we are using WSO2 API Manager(AM) here.                 - Since we already have the SAML Response received at SSO step, SAML2 Bearer grant type is ideal to use at this scenario to request an OAuth token to access the required APIs.                 - Allowing AM to properly issue an OAuth...

This is the 3rd post I am writing to explain the use of extension points in WSO2 Identity Server. WSO2 Identity Server has so many such extension points which are easily configurable and arm the server with lot of flexibility. With this, we can support so many domain specific requirements with minimum efforts. Firstly I have shared the usage and steps of writing a custom user store manager .  Secondly a custom claim handler which is also related with SAML SSO Response.  Now this third post deals with writing a custom SAML SSO Assertion signer. What we can customize? Credentials used to sign the SAML Assertion (The private key) Signing Algorithm This sample can be extended to customize how we sign the SAML Response and validate the signature as well. How? We have to write a class extending  The class 'org.wso2.carbon.identity.sso.saml.builders.signature.DefaultSSOSigner' or Implementing, The interface 'org.wso2.carbon.identity...
