Back in 2018 I basically knew nothing about SAML. The plugin assumes that you already know what SAML is, how to generate a keystore and other things that may not be obvious to a beginner. I will try and create a simpler guide that will explain basic SAML concepts and how to easily create a keystore. My first attempt to integrate SAML into a grails project took 2 whole weeks and that doesn't even include all the contributions I have made to this project. Nowadays I can create a grails project from scratch and add SSO in less than an hour (if we ignore the bureaucracy which mostly involves waiting for domain names and certificates to be approved).
