I am several days now trying to understand SAML and how to integrate in our web application to authenticate users.
I have been reading the following post: http://www.gigya.com/blog/the-basics-of-saml/
(other references too, but it has been the most clear information I have read from a theory point of view)
I have installed simplesamlphp successfully, but I don't know how to use/configure to do the authentication from our website.
Also, I am trying to work with lightsaml, building the authn request, but honestly I don't know what I need to do more and the only thing I can get is the object created.
My colleagues have provided me the following information:
- ActiveLogOnUri
- DefaultInteractiveAuthenticationMethod
- FederationBrandName
- IssuerUri
- LogOffUri
- MetadataExchangeUri
- PassiveLogOnUri
I believe we have a valid sts ready to use with the information provided.
Our programming language is PHP, I would appreciate very much someone who may point to a practice guide and/or give me hints about what I will need to check/work with to have the need done.
