Issue validating SAML signature

[Eze Ikonne]

Hi all,

I am not sure if  this the right forum for the issue that I having, I am using opensaml-2.2.3 downloaded from shibboleth. My application is a service provider and I am trying to validate Saml Response from an IDP  that has a signed Assertion. Here is the logic that I am using

                BasicX509Credential cred = new BasicX509Credential();
                  cred.setEntityCertificate(matchedCert);
                  cred.setPublicKey(matchedCert.getPublicKey());
                  cred.setCRLs(null);

            try {
                SignatureValidator signatureValidator = new SignatureValidator(cred);
                signatureValidator.validate(sig);
                return true;
              } catch (ValidationException ex) {
                    ex.printStackTrace();
                System.out.println("******** signature validation failed");
              }


But I keep getting the following stacktrace ...

2019-01-03 21:21:03,857 [Service-0] DEBUG systemout - org.opensaml.xml.validation.ValidationException: Signature did not validate against the credential's key

I would appreciate it if anyone could point me to the right solution or maybe point out what my code is doing wrong. I have tried to run sample codes around this issue, but I have still to get any of the signature validation to be successful. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
