This is a plugin that makes Moodle an Identity Provider site: other application can use Moodle as a login portal
Requires SimpleSAMLphp, configured as IdP: https://simplesamlphp.org/docs/stable/simplesamlphp-idp
ATTENTION: SimpleSAMLphp's session store (config/config.php, 'store.type') MUST BE "sql". "phpsession" will not work, "memcache" is not tested ATTENTION: SimpleSAMLphp's baseurlpath (config/config.php, 'baseurlpath') MUST BE in the full URL format
To make the plugin work: 1: use standard Moodle instalation mechanism; 2: enable and configure the plugin via Moodle (Site administration -> Plugins -> Authentication). "Auth source" is the name from step 4, here it's "moodle-userpass" 3: in SimplesamlPHP, add the plugin's ./moodle directory to SimpleSAMLphp' /modules directory. Since these must be on the same physical server, a symlink works perfectly 4: in SimpleSAMLphp config/authsources.php, add following to $config: 'moodle-userpass' => array( 'moodle:External', 'moodle_coderoot' => '/var/www/ticket/moodle314/www', 'logout_url' => 'https://10.0.0.28/moodle314/auth/samlidp/logout.php', // plugin's logout page 'login_url' => 'https://10.0.0.28/moodle314/login/index.php', // standard Moodle login page 'cookie_name' => 'MoodleSAMLIDPSessionID', ), 5: in SimpleSAMLphp, in metadata/saml20-idp-hosted.php, modify 'auth' with the name from step 4: 'auth' => 'moodle-userpass',
