Configuring Fed-lab.org as Identity Provider - configuration

MY AIM : I am creating a Service provider at my local server using opensaml-java latest library from shibboleth.I want a Test IdP.I chose https://fed-lab.org/ . There is no clear procedure for this configuration also
1.I have created Metadata programmatically using opensaml.
I need to check whether my metadata is correct according to its standard schema.How can i check this?
2.I have registered my SP at https://fed-lab.org/ site after logging in.
3.I have downloaded the Identity Provider from https://fed-lab.org/online/identity-provider-metadata/
It has two IDPSSODescriptors.
In that SIngleSignOnServices are
1.https://openidp.feide.no/simplesaml/saml2/idp/SSOService.php and
2.https://fed-lab.org/simplesaml-test/module.php/fedlab/SingleSignOnService.php
I am using HTTP-Redirect binding
I have created the AuthnRequest message first . then did , deflate , base64encoding , URL encoding as per specification of SAML
https://openidp.feide.no/simplesaml/saml2/idp/SSOService.php?SAMLRequest=processedAuthnRequest
I am trying to access this URL , But I am getting nothing Response from the site.
WHere am I wrong ? please Let me help to figure it out.
Can u provide Test IdPs where there is a clear way(documentation) to do the configuration.

There is a very simple Idp at http://stubidp.kentor.se that doesn't require any kind of registration. Just enter your acs url and a subject nameid to send an unsolited Saml2Response.
It won't let you test everything (yet), but it can get you started on receiving a basic message and handling that.

Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'api.binance.com'

I keep on getting this error the moment I enabled error messaging in Django. I research about it. This binance thingy is about bitcoin and it is not related to what I'm doing.
Is this an attack that's trying to check/access my Django Web app?
Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'api.binance.com'. You may need to add 'api.binance.com' to ALLOWED_HOSTS.
Report at /api/v1/time
Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'api.binance.com'. You may need to add 'api.binance.com' to ALLOWED_HOSTS.
Request Method: GET
I check the api.binance.com. It is like an api and it says "ok"
What's your thought about this?
This is issue just means that external device on the internet is trying to connect on Django however since the the URL " api.binance.com" is not on the allowed list on Django settings.
It is giving error only when you enable the debugging to sent on your email.

Guide how to actually encrypt JSON Token for APNS

Hope somebody can get me past this point... because I spend pretty much time on it and still not working.
Short story is that I want to use Azure Notification Hub for my Xamarin.Forms app.
It want's these info to work:
That's all good and I got all of them under control, expect the Token one.
Ok, so I follow the Microsoft docs on the subject:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/notification-hubs/notification-hubs-push-notification-http2-token-authentification
I follow along and got things under controls I think, until I get to:
"Authentication token"
Here it says:
The authentication token can be downloaded after you generate a token for your application. For details on how to generate this token, refer to Apple’s Developer documentation.
Like it's no big deal and then it links to this page, which is suppose to help me. Read through it, clicked the links etc. read stuff.
I end up on this page: Establishing a Token-Based Connection to APNs
And the the craziness and confusion really kicks off for me, because, it then says, like it's the most common thing in the world:
Encrypt the resulting JSON data using your authentication token signing key and the specified algorithm
It doesn't really explain much, other than link to the jwt.io tool.
Well, that would have been great if I could make the tool work...
On the surface it's pretty easy, as the docs explains what to put in where, so I do that:
So the "header" and the "payload" is filled in and I assume it's correct - however, at the bottom I clearly need to put in some keys for this to be able to decrypted correctly on the other end...the question what do I put in here?
When I created my key in the Apple Developer portal, I of cause downloded the .p8 file, which I can see contains my PRIVATE key...but I have 2 problems.
Putting that into this jwt.io tool, result in a "invalid signature" right away, and I have no idea what to put into the "PUBLIC KEY" part.
So, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance and really hope somebody can help me, as I'm starting to go crazy over this, "tiny" step in the development that have been taking WAY too long now.
At the bottom of jwt.io there are libraries you can use to encrypt the token on your server. For example, this php library: https://github.com/lcobucci/jwt/blob/3.3/README.md
About public key. I think it's the KeyID that is the public key that APNs uses to verify. You only need the private key to generate the token. It goes like this in this php sample:
$token = (new Builder())->issuedBy('http://example.com') // Configures the issuer (iss claim)
->permittedFor('http://example.org') // Configures the audience (aud claim)
->identifiedBy('4f1g23a12aa', true) // Configures the id (jti claim), replicating as a header item
->issuedAt($time) // Configures the time that the token was issue (iat claim)
->canOnlyBeUsedAfter($time + 60) // Configures the time that the token can be used (nbf claim)
->expiresAt($time + 3600) // Configures the expiration time of the token (exp claim)
->withClaim('uid', 1) // Configures a new claim, called "uid"
->getToken($signer, $privateKey); // Retrieves the generated token
Just to whoever stumbles upon this question.
The token field in the Azure Notification Hubs Settings is the private key which you will find inside the .p8 file you downloaded from Apple Developer Account for Universal APN.
As for the JWT encryption, you need that when you sending a request to apple's apn server directly. You will need to send a Bearer token by encrypting the header and payload ( specifications are in apple's website). The encryption is done by crypto libraries, using algorithm ES256 ( only one supported for APN ) and the signing key is the token we mentioned above, that is the private key in the .p8. This creates a JWT that you include in your Authorization header for the request to APN server

Custom service/route creation using feathersjs

I have been reading the documentation for last 2 days. I'm new to feathersjs.
First issue: any link related to feathersjs is not accessible. Such as this.
Giving the following error:
This page isn’t working
legacy.docs.feathersjs.com redirected you too many times.
Hence I'm unable to traceback to similar types or any types of previously asked threads.
Second issue: It's a great framework to start with Real-time applications. But not all real time application just require alone DB access, their might be access required to something like Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure etc. In my case it's the same and it's more like problem with setting up routes.
I have executed the following commands:
feathers generate app
feathers generate service (service name: upload, REST, DB: Mongoose)
feathers generate authentication (username and password)
I have the setup with me, ready but how do I add another custom service?
The granularity of the service starts in the following way (Use case only for upload):
Conventional way of doing it >> router.post('/upload', (req, res, next) =>{});
Assume, I'm sending a file using data form, and some extra param like { storage: "s3"} in the req.
Postman --> POST (Only) to /upload ---> Process request (isStorageExistsInRequest?) --> Then perform the actual upload respectively to the specific Storage in Req and log the details in local db as well --> Send Response (Success or Failure)
Another thread on stack overflow where you have answered with this:
app.use('/Category/ExclusiveContents/:categoryId', {
create(data, params) {
// do complex stuff here
params.categoryId // the id of the category
data // -> additional data from the POST request
}
});
The solution can viewed in this way as well, since featherjs supports micro service approach, It would be great to have sub-routes like:
/upload_s3 -- uploads to s3
/upload_azure -- uploads to azure and so on.
/upload -- main route which is exposed to users. User requests, process request, call the respective sub-route. (Authentication and Auth to be included as well)
How to solve these types of problems using existing setup of feathersjs?
1) This is a deployment issue, Netlify is looking into it. The current documentation is not on the legacy domain though, what you are looking for can be found at docs.feathersjs.com/api/databases/querying.html.
2) A custom service can be added by running feathers generate service and choosing the custom service option. The functionality can then be implemented in src/services/<service-name>/<service-name>.class.js according to the service interface. For file uploads, an example on how to customize the parameters for feathers-blob (which is used in the file uploading guide) can be found in this issue.

Azure fails when try to create a MySQL database

When I try to create a MySQL database on Microsoft Azure using pure REST request (PUT) to:
https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<subscriptionid>/resourceGroups
/resource-<id>/providers/successbricks.cleardb/databases/<my-database>?
api-version=2014-04-01
I am getting this error:
HTTP STATUS CODE 400 Bad Request
Error message: 'Legal terms have not been accepted for this item on
this subscription. To accept legal terms, please go to the Azure
portal (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=534873) and configure
programmatic deployment for the Marketplace item or create it there
for the first time'
So I went to Microsoft Azure Portal, and I accepted the legal terms. I tried again, same error. I searched in almost the entire Azure Portal for some configuration about this and I found nothing.
Someone have the same problem?
Thanks.
you should not only accept the terms but follow the procedure of making the programmatic access possible. It should be on the license page.
Programmatic deployment only can be found in Virtual Machines MySQL, not in Data Storage MySQL Database. Try REST request after you enabled programmatic Deployment.
In addition, I successfully created a MySQL database using REST API without reproducing your question, but note that the request body need to be sent as well when using PUT request.
OK guys, found the solution. I don't know why, but if we change the JSON attribute { "plan.name": "Pay-As-You-Go" } to { "plan.name": "Free" } the database is created successfully.
I opened a support ticket to know which are the MySQL available plans. I will update the answer as soon as possible.

How can I let users register my product online?

I've a MySql database hosted in my web site, with a table named UsrLic
Where any one wants to buy my software must register and enter his/her Generated Machine Key (+ username, email ...etc).
So my question is:
I want to automate this process from my software, how this Process will be?
Should I connect and update my database directly from my software ( and this means I must save all my database connection parameters in it * my database username , password , server * and then use ADO or MyDac to connect to this database ? and if yes how secure is this process ?
or any other suggestions .
I recommend creating an API on your web site in PHP and calling the API from Delphi.
That way, the database is only available to your web server and not to the client application, ever. In fact, you should run your database on localhost or with a private IP so that only machines on the same physical network can reach it.
I have implemented this and am implementing it again as we speak.
PHP
Create a new file named register_config.php. In this file, setup your MySQL connection information.
Create a file named register.php. In this file, put your registration functions. From this file, include 'register_config.php'. You will pass parameters to the functions you create here, and they will do the reading and writing to your database.
Create a file named register_api.php. From this file, include 'register.php'. Here, you will process POST or GET variables that are sent from your client application, call functions in register.php, and return results back to the client, all via HTTP.
You will have to research connecting to and querying a MySQL database. The W3Schools tutorials will have you doing this very quickly.
For example:
Your Delphi program calls https://mysite/register_api.php with Post() and sends the following values:
name=Marcus
email=marcus#gmail.com
Here's how the beginning of register_api.php might look:
// Our actual database and registration functions are in this library
include 'register.php';
// These are the name value pairs sent via POST from the client
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
// Sanitize and validate the input here...
// Register them in the DB by calling my function in register.php
if registerBuyer($name, $email) {
// Let them know we succeeded
echo "OK";
} else {
// Let them know we failed
echo "ERROR";
}
Delphi
Use Indy's TIdHTTP component and its Post() or Get() method to post data to register_api.php on the website.
You will get the response back in text from your API.
Keep it simple.
Security
All validation should be done on the server (API). The server must be the gatekeeper.
Sanitize all input to the API from the user (the client) before you call any functions, especially queries.
If you are using shared web hosting, make sure that register.php and register_config.php are not world readable.
If you are passing sensitive information, and it sounds like you are, you should call the registration API function from Delphi over HTTPS. HTTPS provides end to end protection so that nobody can sniff the data being sent off the wire.
Simply hookup a TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL component to your TIdHTTP component, and you're good to go, minus any certificate verification.
Use the SSL component's OnVerifyPeer event to write your own certificate verification method. This is important. If you don't verify the server side certificate, other sites can impersonate you with DNS poisoning and collect the data from your users instead of you. Though this is important, don't let this hold you up since it requires a bit more understanding. Add this in a future version.
Why don't you use e.g. share*it? They also handle the buying process (i don't see how you would do this for yourself..) and let you create a reg key through a delphi app.
