SHA versions supported by OpenSAML and CXF can be specified in saml.properties in the CONNECT properties directory:. Note that while multiple versions can be specified, a default must also be specified and can be overridden in the entity request (described in Overriding default SHA version section below).
saml.digestAlgorithms - comma separated list of SignatureConstants/URIs, of the desired digest algorithms to support
saml.signatureAlgorithms - comma separated list of SignatureConstants/URIs, of the desired signature algorithms to support
saml.defaultDigestAlgorithm - default digest algorithm to use if an override is not provided in the entity message. Defaults to SHA1 if not set.
saml.defaultSignatureAlgorithm - default signature algorithm to use if an override is not provided in the entity message. Defaults to RSA-SHA1 if not set.
