SimpleSAMLphp Deployments

TEQneers GmbH & Co. KG

We are using SAML2 as SP in our products to be able to offer secure SSO for our customers using SAAS.

SAML itself is great. Having a free product like SimpleSAML is even better. People from Feide are extremely helpful and continuously improve this software. I can highly recommend SimpleSAML.

We use simpleSAMLphp as a SAML2 IdP for u:book, which is mainly a Shib2 federation. We have used simpleSAMLphp in production since Fall ´08.

It was easy to integrate simpleSAMLphp with our GemStone database.

WAYF - Where Are You From

WAYF - Where Are You From - the Danish e-ID federation for research and education use simpleSAMLphp both as protocol bridge (SAML2, Shibboelth 1.3, CAS, LDAP), identity provider (towards the connected services, on behalf of the connected institutions) and service provider (WAYF has several SAML2-services protected by simpleSAMLphp).

simpleSAMLphp came to WAYF's rescue at a critical time where other products fell short. Within a short time frame we were able to completely redesign, test and set into production(!) simpleSAMLphp as the central federation component - not at least because it is written in human readable PHP, but also because of the steady and huge support Feide has given us. Several WAYF developers have contributed to the code - always with a feeling that simpleSAMLphp is done 'the right way'.

We run simpleSAMLphp in production, connecting around 300.000 e-ID's at the connected institutions. More institutions and services will get connected soon - and still we will sleep tight at night. The production system will also be connected to other e-ID federations, in Denmark and abroad. We also use simpleSAMLphp for testing purposes. Redundancy, multi instance setups etc. are being investigated.

We use simpleSAMLphp in production as an SP to provide a simple gateway to an IdP, specifically Nemlog-in.

Still testing integrating with Mediawiki. SimpleSAMLphp definitely works and returns to Mediawiki but authentication layer in Mediawiki is a spaghetti :( and our proof of concept is not working as it should yet.

SimpleSAMLphp is definitely great! It's well written, well organized and relatively well documented.

Ordbogen.com, Denmarks largest online dictionaries

We use simpleSAMLphp with SAML2 and we use it as a service provider. We deliver online dictionaries to many institutions in Denmark. Almost every university uses Ordbogen.com, and many of them also use WAYF (IdP). It has opened a new possibility for us to deliver online dictionaries and still control our licenses.

SimpleSAMLphp has a unique way of transporting data which solves problems with firewalls etc. But it is still a very secure transport of data.

We are now in production with SimpleSAMLphp and many people use our dictionaries through WAYF (SimpleSAMLphp IdP).

I'm using simpleSAMLphp for enabling SSO on a prototype of PLE (Personal Learning Environment) I'm developing for my PhD dissertation. I've configured an IdP, connected to our institutional LDAP, and the following SPs: Google Apps, Moodle (through simpleSAMLphp Moodle module) and, in the near future, a network of blogs built on Drupal (through simpleSAMLphp Drupal module).

What I think of simpleSAMLphp: easy to install, well documented and good support

Our "Ágora Sur" interdisciplinary research team (http://agorasur.es/) is using SimpleSAMLphp for developing a "fuzzy limits" environment for collaboration and learning ("Ágora Virtual") according to the principe "the platform is the net". For this setup we use SimpleSAMLphp for IdP and SP, working together with PAPI. We have developed bridges for both PAPI-sSp and sSp-PAPI ways, and SimpleSAMLphp and PAPI modules for implementation of OKI OSID authentication, as well.

SimpleSAMLphp is a clever SAML 2 SP and IdP implementation and the simplest and easiest way to get PHP applications into SAML 2 federations". Period.

Currently, we have already adapted Dokuwiki and CMS Made Simple using PAPI and sSp, Mantis bugtracker (with SimpleSAMLphp), LimeSurvey (with SimpleSAMLphp) and, of course, "Agora Virtual" itself as the environment core. Other pieces (as our "Rubric" tool) are on their way.
