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.
