SAML - Encoding an SAMLRequest String using Deflate, Base-64, URL-encode?

NiallAug 14 2017 — edited Jan 24 2019

Hi,

I'm currently trying to create a PL/SQL / APEX solution for authenticating against a corporate (non-Oracle) SAML2.

The first step is to create the request (SAMLRequest). According to what I've been reading here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAML_2.0#HTTP_Redirect_Binding

Before it's sent, the message is deflated (without header and checksum), base64-encoded, and URL-encoded, in that order.

Does anyone know of an existing Oracle API that will do this (especially the deflation)?

If not, what would you suggest?

I've started looking at UTL_COMPRESS but don't find a reference to deflating anywhere.

All input is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Niall.
