Talk Proposal: Happy Ruby SAML Development

[pat]

Description (this will appear on YouTube):

This talk is an introduction to how SAML requests and responses can be handled with Ruby, as well as a discussion around how we at Covidence have solved such challenges as:

• Building SAML support ourselves rather than using third-party services.
• Writing full feature tests to sign in via SSO (no mocking of SAML objects/responses).
• Bridging SAML requests across many domains for staging/PR apps, to ensure a consistent approach across environments.
• Parsing SAML metadata files using Nokogiri for better performance.

Estimated Talk Time:

20-30 minutes

Preferred Month to Present:

October or November 2024 (I'm away prior to that, sorry!)
