NAME
samlsign - sign and verify XML documents
SYNOPSIS
samlsign <options>
DESCRIPTION
samlsign signs or verifies signed XML documents. To sign a document,
use -s. To verify a document, omit -s. One of the -c, -R, or -T
options are required when verifying. Either -k or -R is required when
signing.
By default, samlsign signs or verifies standard input. Pass -u or -f
to retrieve the document from a URL or file path. Signed documents are
always printed to standard output.
OPTIONS
-u URL The URL of the document to sign or verify.
-f PATH
The full path of the document to sign or verify.
-id ID Rather than acting on the entire document, only act on the
object with the specified ID. Only that object (with its new
signature) will be printed to standard output.
-s Sign, rather than the default action of verify.
-k KEY Specifies the full path to the key to use for signing.
-c CERT
Specifies the full path to the certificate to use for
verification.
-R RESOLVER
Specifies a credential resolver to use for either signing or
verification.
-T TRUST
Specifies the trust engine for TrustEngine-based verification.
-M METADATA
Specifies the metadata for TrustEngine-based verification.
-i ISSUER
Specifies the issuer for verification.
-p PROT
Specifies the protocol for TrustEngine-based verification. This
option allows specification of an arbitrary protocol by name,
but more commonly one would use one of the options listed below
for standard protocol names.
-r RNAME
Specifies the resource name for TrustEngine-based verification.
This option allows specification of an arbitrary resource name
by name, but more commonly one would use one of the options

not given, the default is SAML20MD_NS.
-saml10
Use the SAML1.0 protocol for TrustEngine-based verification.
-saml11

-saml2 use the SAML2.0 P NS protocol for TrustEngine-based
verification.
-idp Set the resouce name to IDPSSODescriptor for TrustEngine-based
verification.
-aa Set the resource name to AttributeAuthorityDescriptor for
TrustEngine-based verification.
-pdp Set the resource name to PDPDescriptor for TrustEngine-based
verification.
-sp Set the resource name to SPSSODescriptor for TrustEngine-based
verification.
