I am working on an Umbraco 7 .NET 4.8 MVC web application.
I am integrating ComponentSpace SSO. The application will be a service provider.
I am confused about the routing taking place with Umbraco. I can see the app has a mixture of SurfaceController and RenderMvcController objects.
I have added a regular Controller which is responsible for processing incoming saml assertions. The expected route (based on convention) is ~/saml/assertionconsumerservice. That is, the controller is named SamlController and the action method is named AssertionConsumerService.
A test site without Umbraco works fine. When used with Umbraco this route produces a 404.
however this may be the wrong way forward or otherwise it is unclear why I would want to implement IPublishedContent FindContent when all I need to do is tell Umbraco not to interfere with the route ~/saml/assertionconsumerservice.
My question:
How to I get umbraco to leave this route alone?
~/saml/assertionconsumerservice
I note that the project has a Global.asax file inherits Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication
I non-Umbraco project would also have a Global.asax.cs with a call to RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes and this class would be inherited by Global.asax.
How can I do this in the Umbraco project?
When the url is requested ~/saml/assertionconsumerservice I need it to hit a controller named "SamlController" and the action named "AssertionConsumerService".
I had started there (link in my initial post). The issue is that it's not clear how to implement FindContent() from the description on that page - unless I am missing this?
The SAML controller method that I have processes an incoming SSO message then returns with RedirectToAction() when successful login occurs.
So I don't quite understand the point of specifying the custom RouteHandler and the need to implement FindContent(), as presumably I just need to configure a route as follows : "When the requested url is 'saml/assertionconsumerservice' go to 'SamlController, AssertionConsumerService action'". Easy enough with a default MVC templated project, proving elusive with Umbraco.
Routing and SSO
I am working on an Umbraco 7 .NET 4.8 MVC web application.

I have looked at this https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Reference/Routing/Custom-Routes/index-v7 and https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Reference/Events/Application-Startup-v7
however this may be the wrong way forward or otherwise it is unclear why I would want to implement IPublishedContent FindContent when all I need to do is tell Umbraco not to interfere with the route ~/saml/assertionconsumerservice.

Appreciate any help here.
You can tell Umbraco to leave it alone using Reserved URLs:
https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Reference/Configuration-for-Umbraco-7-and-8/webconfig/index-v7#umbracoreservedurls
Or I guess this should be a
umbracoReservedPathspath instead.Thanks Sebastiaan. I will check that out!
I am still seeing 404 responses sadly.

It's been a while since I used 7, but I think this is probably how you want to register your routes: https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Reference/Routing/Custom-Routes/index-v7
Thanks Sebastiaan,

Yes I see, of course it has nothing to do with content so no need to FindContent!
Think this comment from Andy should get you going: https://our.umbraco.com/forum/umbraco-7/using-umbraco-7/56478-Creating-a-custom-Controller-and-View-in-Umbraco-with-MVC-#comment-205964
Thanks Sebastiaan. That seems to be the way forward. I was so close :)
Thanks for your help, I do seem to be able to route that SSO call now.
is working on a reply...
