Why the error?

SAML for ASP.NET
1

Anyone have any idea why I’m seeing the following exception during a SAMLRequest? What’s the xmlElement it’s looking for?

Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Stack: at ComponentSpace.SAML2.Utility.XmlSignature.IsSigned(XmlElement xmlElement)

Thanks! – Curt

It’s hard to say without more information.
Could you please enable SAML trace and email the generated log file to support@componentspace.com?

Thanks for the reply, ComponantSpace.

Unfortunately, I can’t get what you asked for. I’m a third party SP trying to interface with a ComponantSpace-based IdP - it’s not my IdP… It looks like their app is throwing an exception - unfortunate again, I don’t believe the folks I’m working with have the resources to chase the exception.

I suspect the argument being passed in might be null. I thought if I knew the context of the argument to the method where it’s crashing, it might give me a clue as to what it doesn’t like about my SAML request.
