SAML-tracer

===========

SAML-tracer is a Firefox extension that aims to make debugging of

SAML- and WS-Federation-communication between websites easier. 

It is a request logger that in addition to showing normal requests, 

also highlights and decodes SAML messages that are transmitted.

Using SAML-tracer

-----------------

SAML-tracer is activated by clicking its icon in the browser toolbar.

It can be alternatively started by pressing ALT +

SHIFT + S on the keyboard.

Once it is activated, you will get a window that shows all requests,

and the data included in them. It also shows response headers.

Messages including SAML data are highlighted with a SAML logo at the

right side of the request list. Those containing WS-Federation data

are highlighted with a WS-Fed logo respectively.

Selecting a request gives you up to three tabs:

* HTTP: A quick overview over the request, with request and response

  headers.

* Parameters: GET and POST parameters included in the request.

* SAML: Decoded SAML message found in the request.

Developing SAML-tracer

----------------------

To make changes to SAML-tracer, you should start by cloning the Git

repository from:
