Getting Started with SAML and PHP

Question

I'm beginning work on adding SAML SSO support to a project and am looking for any helpful resources specifically geared towards PHP. I understand the basic concepts and have poked around for any libraries that could help but have come up empty. The only thing I've found is simpleSAMLphp which appears to be an entire stack.

Any tips for integrating SAML into an existing project? Bonus points for Zend-Framework related suggestions!

Answer 1

While not a PHP specific solution, maybe Shibboleth will be an acceptable solution for you - it supports both Apache and IIS and can be used with potentially any web framework - java/php/asp.net. This also helps by being a Filter plugin into your webserver so your application will require minimal (if any) modifications to use it
