SAML2 PHP library from SimpleSAMLphp

SimpleSAMLphp SAML2 library

A PHP library for SAML2 related functionality. Extracted from SimpleSAMLphp, used by OpenConext. This library is a collaboration between UNINETT and SURFnet., _(*1)

Before you use it

DO NOT USE THIS LIBRARY UNLESS YOU ARE INTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH THE SAML2 SPECIFICATION., _(*2)

If you are not familiar with the SAML2 specification and are simply looking to connect your application using SAML2, you should probably use SimpleSAMLphp., _(*3)

While this library is tagged as stable it is currently not very developer friendly and it's API is likely to change significantly in the future. It is however a starting point for collaboration between parties. So let us know what you would like to see in a PHP SAML2 library., _(*4)

Note that the HTTP Artifact Binding and SOAP client not work outside of SimpleSAMLphp., _(*5)

Usage

• Install with Composer, add the following in your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "simplesamlphp/saml2": "0.1.*"
    }
}

Then run composer update., _(*6)

• Provide the required external dependencies by extending and implementing the SAML2_Compat_AbstractContainer then injecting it in the ContainerSingleton (see example below)., _(*7)

• Use at will. Example:, _(*8)

    // Use Composers autoloading
    require 'vendor/autoload.php';

    // Implement the Container interface (out of scope for example)
    require 'container.php';
    SAML2_Compat_ContainerSingleton::setContainer($container);

    // Set up an AuthnRequest
    $request = new SAML2_AuthnRequest();
    $request->setId(SAML2_Utils::generateId());
    $request->setIssuer('https://sp.example.edu');
    $request->setDestination('https://idp.example.edu');

    // Send it off using the HTTP-Redirect binding
    $binding = new SAML2_HTTPRedirect();
    $binding->send($request);
