Description

SimpleSAMLphp is an award-winning application written in native PHP that deals with authentication.

The project is led by UNINETT, has a large user base, a helpful user community and a large set of external contributors. The main focus of SimpleSAMLphp is providing support for:

  • SAML 2.0 as a Service Provider (SP)
  • SAML 2.0 as an Identity Provider (IdP)

However, it also supports some other identity protocols and frameworks, including:

SimpleSAMLphp is easily extendable, so you can develop your own modules if you like.

With the memcache session handler, SimpleSAMLphp scales pretty well. A replication layer is built upon memcache, such that an unlimited number of SimpleSAMLphp web front-ends can work with a back-end matrix of memcache servers with both replication (fail-over) and load-balancing.

SimpleSAMLphp is tested with several other federation software implementations, including:

  • Shibboleth 1.3
  • Shibboleth 2.2
  • PingID
  • Sun Federation Manager
  • Sun Federated Access Manager
  • Sun Access Manager
  • mod_mellon
  • Central Authentication Service (CAS)
