Description from store

This is an Open Source SAML debugger for Chrome. It operates as another panel in the Chrome Developer Tools section, which monitors the traffic in the current active tab. This panel is trying to replicate what the Firefox version of SAML Tracer does as there wasn't a good enough one (or any) for Chrome at the time of writing this.

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/milton-lai/saml-chrome-panel
Feel free to branch and help make this even better!

It is designed to display all network traffic, along with the request and response data. If there is a SAML request or response, then it will grab the message, format it nicely and show it to you in another tab.

Updates:
- Set links to open in the same browser
-- There is a new feature to "Scrub" the links in the current page. Basically, it will update all anchor tags and set their target attribute to equal '_self'. This should address the issue of having SAML transactions opening up in new tabs and such. This is the best implementation I could think of as I'm unable to listen to all traffic on all tabs.
- Import and export the network traffic.
-- It imports and exports the traffic on the browser in a JSON format.
- Toggle showing SAML traffic.

Please note that at the moment, I've only looked at OpenAM Redirect and POST SAML transactions (as that is what I've got access to). If there are others which are working, please let me know. If there are SSO frameworks that are not working, then also please let me know and I'll try to get it working (e.g. SOAP).

Thanks to @jasonwzs (https://github.com/jasonwzs) and @AlmogBaku (https://github.com/AlmogBaku) for contributing

Latest reviews

Kathryn Kosey 2024-11-07: I see the most recent reviews, however this is working great for me now and has been a lifesaver for troubleshooting.
Justin Nagle 2024-05-29: Literally just doesn't work at all, even after relaunching the browser. This used to be good, worthless now.
Shiva A 2024-05-27: This extension is currently broken. It does not show up in DevTools.
Mohamed Harouaka 2024-03-28: This used to be a 5* product and was my go-to for SAML for over 2 years, but it hasn't worked for like a year now, just like the other reviews state, does not show up any more in Developer Tools even when enabled. Please restore it to what it used to be when you could actually access it to use it, and not just mine but every review will be 5*s again.
Tech Learner 2024-03-17: Not showing in the Dev tools for Version 122.0.6261.129 (Official Build) (64-bit)? What is the issue guys? Lots of reviews about same issue but still not permanent fix. Can you please fix this permanently? Thanks in advance.
Paula Martínez 2023-11-07: Para mi gusto, la peor de las tres opciones de extensión que hay para Chrome, te obliga a estar inspeccionando y si no estás inspeccionando de antes de que se lancen las llamadas a SAML, no te aparecen, cuando las demás extensiones te las muestra la abras cuando la abras
Yvan MARGUERITE 2023-10-19: Hi, I have a Version 118.0.5993.89 and the panel doesn't show up on the dev tools. Why ? Can you help me ? Thanks

jayesh kothari 2023-08-10: Recently, the panel doesn't show up on the dev tools. I have tried on Mac, windows(PC, AVD, Citrix) and randomly it would just show up after multiple attempts of opening and closing the browser completely. This was the extension of choice always but no longer.

David Tod 2023-02-16: Excellent. Does the job and solves the problem. Would love to see it support other base64-encoded data like OAuth (id_token) and LTI (lti_message_hint).

Jack Cuneo 2022-03-16: Great extension. Just add to Chrome, open Dev Tools, choose the spiffy new "SAML" tab that appears there, and run through your flow. Looks good, works well, and building it into Dev Tools makes it unobtrusive. Thank you!

Adrian Pavelescu 2019-08-11: Works quite well. I had to write a multi-tenant SAML integration layer and this little guy was incredibly useful, and it continues to be useful with pretty much every new customer that wants SSO... there's always some kind of hiccup and this helps with discovery.

Gerardo Lopez 2016-10-05: Can't figure out how to use it. I tried logging into a site with SAML and it doesn't popup. I tried selecting "SAML Chrome Panel" from the menu bar, and it just redirects me back to the Chrome App Store. The only other option besides hide is to remove from Chrome -- thank goodness that feature works.

Jonathas Morais 2016-04-12: Helps a lot not having to use other apps to inspect network traffic, filtering or having to get the base64 content, decode, etc just to get the SAML content. Great work!

Martin van Es 2015-12-22: Now that is has import/export it's very useful (for SSO support). I was looking for a SAML message filter and found the "Toggle traffic" button did the trick. Nice, but not the right term. "SAML Filter" would be more appropriate I think?
