NAME

Net::SAML2::Protocol::AuthnRequest - SAML2 AuthnRequest object

METHODS

new( ... )

Constructor. Creates an instance of the AuthnRequest object.

Important Note: Best practice is to always do this first. While it is possible to call as_xml() first you do not have to set the id as it will be set for you automatically.

However tracking the id is important for security to ensure that the response has the same id in the InResponseTo attribute.

Arguments:

nameidpolicy_format

Format attribute for NameIDPolicy

AuthnContextClassRef, AuthnContextDeclRef

Each one is an arrayref containing values for AuthnContextClassRef and AuthnContextDeclRef. If any is populated, the RequestedAuthnContext will be included in the request.

RequestedAuthnContext_Comparison

Value for the Comparison attribute in case RequestedAuthnContext is included (see above). Default value is exact.

as_xml( )

Returns the AuthnRequest as XML.
