Projects
SSO SAML Inspector
View CodeProblem
Debugging SAML is opaque and error-prone, especially when issuer, audience, attributes, or time-based conditions do not match expected values.
What I built
A Tampermonkey userscript that captures SAML responses in the browser, decodes and parses them, and surfaces the fields that matter most during troubleshooting.
Why it matters
Makes it faster to diagnose SSO issues and validate assertions without bouncing between browser tools and manual decoding steps.
