Collects and displays SAML messages

SAML Message Decoder Chrome Extension

The SAML Message Decoder is a powerful tool designed for developers dealing with SAML-based Single Sign-On (SSO) and Single Log-Out (SLO) implementations. It runs seamlessly in the background to collect and display SAML messages transmitted by the browser in cleartext XML format.

Whenever you encounter unexpected behavior during SSO/SLO processes, simply activate the extension to analyze the latest messages and gain insights into potential authorization issues. The extension also supports exporting messages to .json, making it easier for collaborations and debugging with clients. Stay updated with new features like support for extended SAML message types and a refreshed user interface for improved usability. Perfect for all your SAML debugging needs!
