Where is the SAML config?

[zner0L]

I am trying to set up SAML to authorize users with my Keycloak, but I can't find any documentation on it. I can see how it is done in https://github.com/CatoTH/antragsgruen/tree/main/plugins/gruene_de_saml, which should be easy enough to copy and adapt, but I don‘t understand how SimpleSAML gets the SAML config. Shouldn't there be an authsources.php somewhere? I would appreciate your help, if you can spare the time.

Thank you so much for keeping this project open source. It is really helpful!

The location can be configured by the SIMPLESAMLPHP_CONFIG_DIR environment variable, which can be set e.g. in the nginx configuration: https://github.com/CatoTH/antragsgruen/blob/main/docs/simplesaml-nginx.conf#L28

And yes, there needs to be a authsources.php, a config.php and saml20-idp-remote.php .

Honestly, setting up SAML always was somewhat tricky and somehow different every single time depending on so many factors that I didn't dare to write a authorative documentation yet. For those installations using it against a Keycloak server, I usually did some client-specific implementation (as seen in the plugin-directory. though gruene_ch_saml might be the easier basis to start from)

I also want to connect a keycloak to it. Have you started allready / do you have a PR at hand @zner0L ?

I'm closing this. because apparently you have figured it out (according to #822)
