Review Summary
SAML-tracer is highly praised as an essential, easy-to-use tool for debugging SAML and SSO authentication, offering smooth decoding of complex payloads and reliable tracking of HTTP requests. It is especially valued by developers for diagnosing SAML problems. However, users frequently note problems with the export function and occasional UI issues like missing SAML buttons. A commonly requested feature is a raw XML view to preserve spacing when viewing decoded messages.
Pros
- Extremely helpful for debugging and troubleshooting SAML authentication and SSO issues.
- Easy to use and reliable for tracking HTTP requests and SAML messages.
- Supports decoding complex encoded SAML payloads seamlessly, saving time and hassle.
- Widely considered a must-have tool for developers working with SAML configurations.
- Functions well across different browsers and handles some WS-FED authentication cases where other tools fail.
Cons
- Issues with the export functionality, including inability to import exported files and exporting files that contain only 'null'.
- SAML button interface not always visible; sometimes only HTTP is shown.
- Lack of a 'raw decoded XML' view leading to whitespace differences in pretty-printed SAML messages.
