This module provides integration between Backdrop and OneLogin's SAML PHP Toolkit
(https://github.com/onelogin/php-saml/), incuded.
The aim of this module is to provide an easy solution to setting up a SAML Service Provider. All
configuration is handled inside Backdrop and requires no editing or working with
the SAML library in order to function.
Features
- Account creation: when an unknown user logs in with the SAML system, a new
Backdrop account is automatically provisioned for them - Account synchronization: automatically update the username or email of a
user based on the IdP information for the user - Restrict login: force SAML users to always login with SAML
Installation
- Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions at
https://backdropcms.org/guide/modules
Configuration
- In your browser, visit /admin/config/people/saml to configure the module.
- Configure information about the Service Provider, the IdP, user settings,
and any additional security options. - Open /saml/metadata to obtain the metadata needed to configure the IdP for
this service provider.
Notes
- If creating and/or storing certificates, make sure to store them outside of the
web root, or in a location otherwise inaccessible via the web.
