SAMLSSP: SimpleSAMLphp configuration notes ========================================== * Expose NameID in attributes Configure authproc.sp in such a way that the NameID attributes becomes available: 'authproc.sp' => array( .... /* append NameID to available attributes */ 20 => array( 'class' => 'saml:NameIDAttribute', 'attribute' => 'NameID', 'format' => '%V', ), .... * Use alternative SimpleSAMLphp session store Joomla uses a random session cookie name, and SimpleSAMLphp needs to align with the Joomla session. The easiest solution is to use an alternative session mechanism, by relying on 'store.type' => 'memcache' instead of the default 'store.type' => 'phpsession'
