Can I use SHA-2 algorithm using old dll

SAML for ASP.NET
1

Hi,

How can I use SHA-2 algorithm using old dll. Is it just changing the signature method like below:

SignatureMethod = “<a href=“http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsa-sha1"”>http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsa-sha1”

to “<a href=“http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsa-sha2"”>http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsa-sha2” value?

Thanks,
Muhammad Masood

I’m afraid not. You would need to upgrade to the latest release.

In the SAML configuration you can specify the SignatureMethod.
However, we now default to SHA-256. You would only need to specify the signature method if you wish to use SHA-1.

Hi, Just to confirm we can't use SHA-2 algorithm using old dll? I believe there should be some way of doing it.

Please email support and specify which version of the .NET framework you are using. There may be a solution but it’s not something we support. The simplest and best solution moving forward is to upgrade.
