Open ajayjainwebner opened 8 years ago

ajayjainwebner commented 8 years ago

Hi, I want to integrate simpleSAMLphp in my cakephp applicatiob. For this I have read this link: https://github.com/zl4bv/CakePHP-simpleSAMLphp-Plugin, at this link following code is written in Readme file: Configure::write('Saml.SimpleSamlPath', '/path/to/simpleSAMLphp'); Which path I will give here: '/path/to/simpleSAMLphp'. Is this is the path of simpleSAMLphp application that is installed at separate location or this is the path of cakephp simpleSAMLphp plugin?

I do not want to make a separate simpleSAMLphp application instead this I want to put simpleSAMLphp code in my cakephp application, is this is possible?

My simple requirement is : I want to use simplesamlphp as a Library instead of application. Please suggest me steps to follow for this.

Hi @ajayjainwebner,

This is the path to your simpleSAMLphp installation, not the path to CakePHP-simpleSAMLphp-Plugin, or your CakePHP application.

I do not want to make a separate simpleSAMLphp application instead this I want to put simpleSAMLphp code in my cakephp application, is this is possible?

It does not sound like best practice to include a third-party application or library inside your application codebase but I'm sure it is possible.

My simple requirement is : I want to use simplesamlphp as a Library instead of application. Please suggest me steps to follow for this.

simpleSAMLphp acts as both an application and a library.

I suggest familiarising yourself with the simpleSAMLphp documentation: especially the steps 1-4 on the Service Provider QuickStart page. Step 5 will only work if you use simpleSAMLphp as an application, so since you're using it as a library you can skip this step. Step 6 (Integrating authentication with your own application) is what this plugin does for you.

The install instructions for the example included with this repo may also be useful.
