I’m having issues deserializing a saml.json file, the error is:
Document
| Name | Value | Type | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ◢ | $exception | {“The SAML configuration couldn’t be deserialized.”} | ComponentSpace.Saml2.Exceptions.SamlException |
Document
| Name | Value | Type | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ◢ | InnerException | {“Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”} | System.Exception {System.NullReferenceException} |
The code I’m running is:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
string jsonConfigName = “saml-simple.json”;
string samlConfigPath = @“C:\Projects\SamlTest”;
string jsonFilePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(samlConfigPath, jsonConfigName);
string samlConfigText = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(jsonFilePath);
var configurations = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(samlConfigText);
// Always fails.
services.AddSaml(samlConfigurations =>
{
samlConfigurations.Configurations = ConfigurationDeserializer.Deserialize(jsonConfigName, samlConfigPath).Configurations;
});
// Works
services.AddSaml(samlConfigurations =>
{
samlConfigurations.Configurations = configurations.Configurations;
});
… and the JSON contents of the file is:
{

As you can see, this isn’t a big problem now, because I used the Newtonsoft library directly, but it would be best to use the supplied method for deserialisation.
Am I missing some additional configuration settings?
