Example of SAML config available?

[jackiejohnston]

I'm trying to use this for an IdP and would like to see an example of what would go in the SAML config file referenced in your SamlIdpController example ('saml.yml'). Is there a repo for an example IdP using this gem? Also, is it possible to return more than just the ID of the user? I'd like to be able to return the user's first and last name and email address as well.

Hey @jackiejohnston, thought you might like to know I built an IdP with this gem, you can find it here. You're looking for app/controllers/saml_controller.rb

If you're going to use my implementation you need to change a bit and generate a new keypair. The additional things are up to you

@jackiejohnston saml.yml should have this format:

entity_id:
service_provider: # path to service provider metadata.xml
encryption:
  certificate:
  private_key:
  algorithm:

Location of this YML file should be current: config/saml.yml
And you have to replace method:

  def self.saml_config
    @config ||= YAML.load(File.read('saml.yml'))
  end

with:

  def self.saml_config
    @config ||= YAML.load(File.read(Rails.root.join('config/saml.yml')))
  end

BTW besides absent saml.yml file I also found a magic @current_user variable in the example of SamlIdpController.

@td512 @bmalets Thank you both! I actually ended up using the saml_idp gem instead, but I'm sure others will benefit from your replies!
