Spring Security SAML Extensions 1.x EOL on October 6, 2021
Releases

With the recent release of Spring Security 5.4, we’d like to announce that maintenance for Spring Security SAML Extensions 1.x will end on 6 October 2021.

SAML 2.0 support has been added to the core Spring Security framework over the last three minor releases. There are two main reasons for this.

First, the extension project is based on a version of OpenSAML that the OpenSAML team no longer supports. This version has known CVEs that make it unsafe for use in a production system.

Second, moving the support to the core Spring Security framework allowed us to simplify the API, use the latest OpenSAML, and add long-requested support for features like multi-tenancy and Spring Boot integration.

Spring Security OAuth 2.0 Roadmap Update
News and Events
Note
See the latest announcement on Announcing the Spring Authorization Server. This post is a follow-up to Next Generation OAuth 2.0 Support with Spring Security

Current State

In the Spring Security 5.x release train, we’ve endeavored to replace and simplify the feature set found in the Spring Security OAuth 2.x legacy project. In the process, we’ve also added numerous new features, including support for OpenID Connect 1.0.

We are pleased to announce that as of the 5.2 release, we are very close to feature parity with the client and resource server legacy support. What remains is quite minimal, and we fully anticipate announcing feature parity as part of the 5.3 release.

We would like to issue a special thank you to all those in the community who have brought Spring Security this far! We hope to see many more contributions from everyone down the road.
