Implement SAML 1.1 Php

action_owl · 10-11-2010, 12:15 PM

I need to implement SAML 1.1 SSO process in Php(Preferred), Java, or C# I am having a very difficult time finding information related to this task.
If I could use SAML 2.0 I would be home free with "Simple Saml Php" but I am not that lucky.

Would the process be as simple as building the SAML in XML then submitting it with a SoapClient? According to the Docs I've read that would appear to work.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hi -

From the OpenSAML Wiki:

OpenSAML version 1.1 supports SAML 1.0 and 1.1. OpenSAML version 2.0, which is currently in development, supports SAML 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and some additional profiles and extensions.

If your primary site was JSP (like Tomcat) or a Java application server (like Websphere or JBoss), then Java would be an obvious choice. Just as C# would be an obvious choice if you had a Microsoft/IIS server.

But since you're doing this in PHP (presumably on Apache), I'm thinking maybe the C++ OpenSAML library might be better (although Java would probably be acceptable).

You can download the libraries and documentation, or join the OpenSAML community, here:

'Hope that helps!
