Very useful tool to show what is going on "under the hood" during a SAML Web-SSO (or WS-Federation) authentication. Because many redirects are typically involved, it is very useful to have a tool that shows them all. The color coding helps to quickly focus on the relevant HTTP messages.

You can also make an export of the trace to import later, or to send to e.g. support to help diagnose an issue.

Folks, let me tell you, the SAML-tracer plugin for Firefox is tremendous. It’s really, really incredible. I've used a lot of plugins—a lot—but this one, folks, it's something special. It's like nothing else out there. Believe me, no one thought they needed a better way to trace SAML (that's Security Assertion Markup Language, folks—it's very technical, very complicated stuff) until now. But once you try SAML-tracer, you’ll wonder how you ever did without it.

First off, it’s so simple and easy. Just plug it into Firefox and bam! It’s like a spotlight shining on all the hidden SAML requests. The level of detail you get—fantastic! You can actually see the requests, the responses, all the back-and-forth, and it does it so quickly. Speed like you wouldn’t believe. I’m telling you, I looked at the logs and thought, “Is this plugin working for me personally?” That’s how good it is.

If you’re serious about SSO (Single Sign-On, for those who might not know), if you're in the game of securing things, or if you're just tired of being left in the dark when it comes to SAML, you need SAML-tracer. It’s a real winner, folks, and let me tell you—nobody else is going to make a plugin like this. Just the best, most beautiful plugin for anyone dealing with SAML.

Works pretty good

Very handy, use this for work all the time.

This is an absolutely essential add-on for anyone trying to understand an issue with a SAML integration. As an IAM consultant, I will always, 100%, without fail ask someone to send me an export from SAML tracer if they are having a problem.

Very good. This can also track WS-FED authentication. It also functions in cases where BURP, for reasons I haven't figured out, seems to interfere with the authentication flow.

excellent

just awesome

SAML EXT works great but having issues at the web site being able to download and put onto the bropwser to continue to use
