Description
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:
- Shibboleth 1.3
- A-Select
- Central Authentication Service (CAS)
- OpenID
- WS-Federation
- OAuth
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)
