SimpleSAMLphp is a native PHP application for handling authentication, primarily as a SAML 2.0 Service Provider and Identity Provider. It also supports other identity protocols such as CAS, OpenID Connect, WS-Federation, and OAuth, and is extensible via modules.
Use cases
- set up a SAML 2.0 service provider in PHP
- run a SAML identity provider for federated login
- add single sign-on to a PHP application
- integrate with Shibboleth federation
- support CAS or WS-Federation authentication
- act as an OAuth or OpenID Connect provider
When to choose
- you need SAML 2.0 SP or IdP functionality in a PHP environment
- you must federate with academic or enterprise identity federations like Shibboleth
- you want a self-hosted, mature, widely deployed SSO solution
When to avoid
- your stack is not PHP and you prefer a language-native SAML library
- you only need simple social login or OAuth client flows with minimal setup
- you want a lightweight library to embed rather than a standalone application
