does it support .net core?

[emailtowalter]

Need to have saml as service prodiver to validate the saml 2 token using .net core.

Supported?

Thanks

.net core does not yet support XmlDocument and a lot of things around SignedXml etc...
If you grabbed those classes from the .net45 source code and ported them then yes it would work

[ravipunjwani]

Any update on this please?

[eByte23]

Still the same story, .netstandard2.0 will reimplemented 99% off old .net461 api so the .netcore support would be possible

[eByte23]

.netstandard2.0 is slated for next year some time

[ravipunjwani]

Thanks @eByte23 for the quickest reply ever.

The waiting is too much and I don't think it would be easier for me at this moment to manage the same from net45 source code.
Can you suggest any other quickest workaround?

Thanks though.

If the implementation for the SignedXml and other xml apis have already been done the you could build your own version of system.xml.* from corefx and convert this project to dotnetcore style and reference that library

[ravipunjwani]

I tried a remake of whole solution into a solution with .net core project starting with SAML2.Core. Failed badly as many of the libraries are yet to be implemented. Especially Cryptography.Xml*

Trying out something else now

[eByte23]

Yes i dont believe those apis are available in current stable build. You would have to get code from github and build it

[ravipunjwani]

For a while, I dropped idea of going with this. Will try with Kentor.AuthServices.AspNetCore and see if that works out for me.
Or else will come back to this library continuing porting to core.

[eByte23]

Kentor only supports fullframework net451

[ravipunjwani]

Sustainsys/Saml2#489
The work is in progress and another branch available to test out: KentorIT/authservices/aspnetcore

The work is pending to be merged due to tests only.

[eByte23]

But that pr still only supports full framework though if you check the project json. It must be netstandard or netcoreapp to support core xplat

[ravipunjwani]

Yes that's the problem right here, right now! A day is lost. 👎

[eByte23]

So your obviously trying to run xplat correct?

[ravipunjwani]

Well not really, but I thought of keeping it xplat. Current platform is IIS with everything up and running. But I would still love to go with "No Managed Code".

I guess it would just take a bit of configuration in my project.json to refer 4.5 and get my project running, at least on IIS. Am i right?
