Does anyone have experience with tying the newer versions of Laravel into SimpleSAMLPHP? We use SimpleSAML on our webserver as an SP for all web applications on that server to auth through using an interface class that ties to SimpleSAML_Auth_Simple.
We want to start using Laravel based applications but would like to tie them into SimpleSAMLPHP as well instead of the basic authentication provided by default.
I have seen articles using a SAML2 implementation that makes the application act as an SP but that complicates things having to setup the SAML IDP for each application we make (be it a simple experiment or an app on local/dev/test/etc)
I am wondering if it would be as simple as having the LoginController interface with SimpleSAML_Auth_Simple and set appropriate Session variables and check those with the App\Http\Middleware\Authenticate middleware (and redirect to login if theres not valid session). Or if I need to go deeper and make a guard and service provider and the like.
Thanks
