Description Michel Smidt 2019-06-13 13:31:28 CEST

As a user, I don't want to see a traceback if something goes wrong on the server side during the SAML login or logout.
For a user this is rather a deterrent.

Do you know if there is a simplesamlphp configuration to supress tracebacks? I think so. Maybe also a UCR variable.

Oh. Now that you say that, I see there's a UCR variable "saml/idp/show-errors." Is it set to "true" by default? If so, why? I would change that then.
