'Why is Cognito rejecting my SAML assertion?
I'm doing a proof of concept for federating SAML into Cognito. I've setup Shibboleth v3, and once I finally got the log level set, I can see the SAML being sent back to Cognito, which just redirects to my configured page with ?error_description=Error+in+SAML+response+processing%3A+Invalid+SAML+metadata.+&error=server_error
in the URL. The user pool in Cognito is set to require an email address, and I think I've got the attribute mapping set correctly, but it's not really easy to tell. Here's the SAML I'm seeing in the logs (minus a couple of URLs for anonymization's sake):

Is there something simple I'm missing (the intricacies of SAML and SSO are definitely not my wheelhouse at this point in time).
Solution 1:[1]
Question: "Why is Cognito rejecting my SAML assertion?"
Quick Response:
Three potential root causes of this issue:
(1) Your SAML assertion does NOT carry/deliver all the attributes required by Cognito (see the detailed answer and resolution below).
(2) Attributes do NOT meet the format required by Cognito.
For example, (Note that please replace "ACCOUNT_NUMBER" with your aws id assigned by Amazon AWS (e.g., 123456789012))
attribute #1: awsRoles
attribute #1 value: arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT_NUMBER:role/shibbolethidp,arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT_NUMBER:saml-provider/Shibboleth-IdP
attribute #2: awsRoleSessionName
attribute #2 value: [email protected]
(3) Attribute values do NOT registered at Cognito through ADMIN console of Amazon AWS (see (II) Important Remarks on Role later on).
Remarks
(1) Adding SAML Identity Providers to a User Pool states that Audience URI/SP Entity ID of User Pool (NOT Identity Pool) is urn:amazon:cognito:sp:your-User-Pool-ID.
(2) How to enable secure access to Kibana using AWS Single Sign-On describes how to utilize AWS SSO to access Kibana (Amazon Elasticsearch Service, an AWS internal service).
An example of two important SAML SP parameters for User Pool (NOT Identity Pool) is provided below.
(I) Application ACS URL: https://<Elasticsearch domain name>.auth.<AWS region>.amazoncognito.com/saml2/idpresponse
(II) Application SAML audience: urn:amazon:cognito:sp:<user pool id>
Question: "The user pool in Cognito is set to require an email address, and I think I've got the attribute mapping set correctly, but it's not really easy to tell."
Answer:
Your SAML response indicates that your attribute mapping is NOT set correctly.
(1) Attribute "RoleSessionName" carried by your Shibboleth IdP v3 SAML response to Cognito is NOT required by Cognito.
<saml2:Attribute FriendlyName="RoleSessionName" Name="https://aws.amazon.com/SAML/Attributes/RoleSessionName" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri"> <saml2:AttributeValue xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xsd:string">bob</saml2:AttributeValue>
</saml2:Attribute>
The correct attribute "RoleSessionName" carried by Shibboleth IdP v3 SAML response to Cognito should be your E-mail address "[email protected]" instead of your given name "bob".
<saml2:Attribute FriendlyName="RoleSessionName" Name="https://aws.amazon.com/SAML/Attributes/RoleSessionName" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri"> <saml2:AttributeValue xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xsd:string">[email protected]</saml2:AttributeValue> </saml2:Attribute>
(2) Resolution:(minor revision may be required depending on your data repository such as LDAP)
Add attribute resolution
<resolver:AttributeDefinition id="awsRoles" xsi:type="ad:Simple" sourceAttributeID="employeeType">
<resolver:Dependency ref="myLDAP"/>
<resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="enc:SAML2String" name="https://aws.amazon.com/SAML/Attributes/Role"
friendlyName="Role" />
</resolver:AttributeDefinition>
<resolver:AttributeDefinition id="awsRoleSessionName" xsi:type="ad:Simple" sourceAttributeID="mail">
<resolver:Dependency ref="myLDAP"/>
<resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="enc:SAML2String" name="https://aws.amazon.com/SAML/Attributes/RoleSessionName"
friendlyName="RoleSessionName" />
</resolver:AttributeDefinition>
into "attribute-resolver-full.xml" or "attribute-resolver.xml" (depending on your Shibboleth IdP configuration). Shibboleth IdP Attribute Resolver Example.
Note that OpenLDAP attribute "employeeType" is used to carry the role of Amazon AWS. Your data store/repository may use different attribute to carry the role of Amazon AWS.
(I) The following OpenLDAP attributes have been mapped with AWS configuration through AWS administration console.
mail: [email protected]
employeeType: arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT_NUMBER:role/shibbolethidp,arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT_NUMBER:saml-provider/Shibboleth-IdP
(II) We provide the official link of configuring Amazon AWS with Google G Suite to describe SAML IdP configuration steps (performed through AWS administration console):
Cognito Configuring Your Identity Pool for a SAML Provider states that
Before configuring your identity pool to support a SAML provider, you must first configure the SAML identity provider in the IAM console. For more information, see Integrating third-party SAML solution providers with AWS in the IAM User Guide.
Integrating third-party SAML solution providers with AWS states that
Amazon Web Services cloud application – This article on the Google G Suite Administrator Help site describes how to configure G Suite as a SAML 2.0 IdP with AWS as the service provider.
Access the link of Google G Suite Amazon Web Services cloud application, and then Click "Step 1: Set up Amazon Web Services as a SAML 2.0 service provider (SP)", you can get the following SAML configuration steps of Amazon AWS for Cognito.
4. log in to the AWS Management Console and open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/.
5. In the navigation pane, select identity providers and then click Create SAML Provider.
6. Select SAML as the Provider Type, and give it a name such as GoogleApps.
7. Upload the IDP metadata you saved earlier from the Google Admin console SAML settings.
8. Click Next Step and on the following page, click Create.
9. Click the Roles tab on the left sidebar and click Create a New Role to create a role which will define the permissions.
10. Select Set role name. This name will be displayed next to the login name on the AWS console.
11. Select Role for Identity Provider Access.
12. Select Grant Web Single Sign-On (WebSSO) access to SAML providers. Click Next Step.
13. Leave the Establish trust settings as they are. Click Next Step.
14. Use the Attach policy settings to define the policies your Federated Users will have. Click Next Step.
15. On the following page, review your settings, then click Create the Role.
16. Select your Google service from the identity providers list and note the Provider ARN. This contains your AWS Account ID and the name of the provider (example: arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT_NUMBER:saml-provider/GoogleApps).
17. Click Save to save the Federated Web single sign-on configuration details.
Important Remarks on Role
(a) OpenLDAP attribute "employeeType" is Role in my validation experiment with AWS console.
(b) Ensure that OpenLDAP attribute "employeeType" is mapped with your AWS configuration setting "Role"**
(c) Replace "GoogleApps" with "Shibboleth-IdP" for Provider Type
(d) Set role name (e.g., shibbolethidp or googleapps, which will be converted by AWS into arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT_NUMBER:role/shibbolethidp or arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT_NUMBER:role/googleapps)
(III) For your convenience, I have made the 9th commit to upload the Amazon AWS SP metadata and corresponding SAML configuration to How to build and run Shibboleth SAML IdP and SP using Docker container.
Note that I have logged in to Amazon AWS account ("ACCOUNT_NUMBER", e.g., 123456789012) with username "[email protected]" successfully using Shibboleth IdP running with Docker Container with the 9th commit.
By performing the Shibboleth SAML IdP configuration with reference to the 9th commit to How to build and run Shibboleth SAML IdP and SP using Docker container, you can log in to your Amazon AWS account ("ACCOUNT_NUMBER", e.g., 123456789012) with your username (such as "[email protected]") federated by Shibboleth IdP..
(IV) My SAML response for successful login to AWS is provided below for your reference.

(3) Amazon AWS provides the configuration guide How to Use Shibboleth for Single Sign-On to the AWS Management Console.
Shibboleth provides the configuration guide Shibboleth IdP with Amazon Cognito
(4) How to build and run Shibboleth SAML IdP and SP using Docker container at GitHub repository provides the instruction on building a SAML-based Authentication/Authorization Provider using Shibboleth SAML IdP and OpenLDAP.
Shibboleth SAML IdP is responsible for identity federation.
OpenLDAP is responsible for identity authentication.
(I) I have validated SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) provided by Docker-running Shibboleth SAML IdP (Identity Provider) and OpenLDAP for the following enterprise applications. In other words, I leveraged Docker-running Shibboleth SAML IdP and OpenLDAP to log in to the following enterprise applications successfully.
Microsoft Office 365
Google G Suite
Salesforce
Dropbox
Box
Amazon AWS
OpenStack
Citrix NetScaler
VMware vCloud Director

(II) I have validated Shibboleth IdP with Amazon AWS Management Console with reference to How to Use Shibboleth for Single Sign-On to the AWS Management Console
(III) We developed our former version of Zero-Password Authentication and Authorization System in Java and leveraged Shibboleth IdP to provide SAML SSO for enterprise applications.
We developed our current version of Zero-Password Authentication and Authorization System with scalability and high availability in Scala to provide SAML SSO natively for enterprise applications without Shibboleth IdP.
Another StackOverflow question "Setting up a new Shibboleth IdP to work with an existing SAML SP" provides valuable information and discussions on Shibboleth SAML configuration.

I used PHP, LightSaml for my SSO SP Initiated
I had my service which I wanted to be an IdP and outside service which were a SP.
After I wrote my own script for receiving SAMLRequest, sending SAMLResponse and sent XML Metadata to the SP owner (he configured Cognito by this)
I had the same error in the browser console
error_description:Error in SAML response processing: Invalid SAML metadata.
So there are few steps which caught my attention while fighting with this error:
- Check if all data in XML Metadata are correct
- Check if your SAMLResponse include relayState and "InResponseTo" parameter
in < samlp:Response > (which is ID of SAMLRequest) - Check if nameID format is correct and it is the same as server needs
- Check if EntityId is correct in all places
- Check attribute mapping in Cognito
