SimpleSAMLphp 2.6

Extendable Authentication + Identity Provider

SimpleSAMLphp is an application written in native PHP that deals with authentication. It provides Single Sign-On, Federated identity, and uses Web services and other industry standards. SimpleSAMLphp can be used as a SAML Service Provider and SAML Identity Provider, but also also supports many other identity protocols and frameworks, such as CAS, OpenID Connect, WS-Federation and OAuth.

SimpleSAMLphp allows for scalable authentication, from only a few users to hundreds of thousands. Through Single Sign On (SSO) it removes the burden of authentication and identity management - and allows for more secure environments where service providers can focus on what they want to do, provide a service, delegation authentication and identity management to others.
