Net::SA...lMessage(3)

📦 version 0.85, in alpine 3.24

💅 Net::SAML2::Role::ProtocolMessage — bestie edition

okay so you're looking at Net::SAML2::Role::ProtocolMessage, a Perl module (it lives over in the Net::SAML2 fam, part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew) and honestly? it's giving ✨ supportive base class ✨. It's the shared behaviour that all the Protocol messages inherit so nobody has to write the same stuff twice. very main character energy of it to just... hand out defaults. 🎀

🌸 VERSION

version 0.85 — that's the one, keep it in mind 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what does this thing actually do? Two things, and it does them well:

  • It provides default ID and timestamp arguments for Protocol classes. like, you don't have to hand-craft those yourself, it's already handled 🫶
  • It provides a status-URI lookup method for the statuses that this implementation uses. short name goes in, full URI comes out. iykyk 💅

🦋 CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS

These are the args you can pass when you're constructing one of these bad boys. all four, no gatekeeping:

  • issuer — the URI of the issuer. literally just where it's coming from 🧚
  • issuer_namequalifier — the NameQualifier attribute for the Issuer. yes it's a mouthful, we love her anyway 💜
  • issuer_format — the Format attribute for the Issuer. format girlies rise 🌈
  • destination — the URI of the Destination. where it's headed, no cap ⭐

🔥 METHODS

🌟 status_uri( $status )

This is the glow-up method: it gives you a mapping from short names for statuses to the full status URIs. so you say the cute short version, it hands you the whole long official one. obsessed 😭

The legal short names for $status are — and please only use these, the rest are not invited to the party:

  • "success"
  • "requester"
  • "responder"
  • "partial"
fr fr, those are the four. anything else is not a legal short name here, so don't come for her 💀
