Description

This issue is imported from pivotal - Originaly created at Oct 6, 2023 by Pieter van der Meulen

Currently the SAML EntityID of the engineblock SP that us used to do Stepup (SFO) authenticatons to the Stepup-Gateway is always https://<engineblock.sever.domain.name>/authentication/stepup/metadata

The key used to sign the SAML AuthnRequests from this SP is the engineblock default key.

To facilitate a rolling configuration update I want the SP entityID that is used for Stepup to be configurable so that at the same time that the engineblock default key is updated, this entityID can be changed. This then allows two entities, with two different keys, to be configured in the Stepup-Gateway.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Stepup (SFO) SAML AuthnRequest and its current engineblock SP entityID, then trace how the default signing key is configured. Done means the Stepup SP entityID can be configured independently so two entities with different keys can coexist during a rolling update.
