This repository tries to aggregate various how-to’s in the topic of setting op a Federated authentication client to talk to the Identity Provider of University Utrecht’s ITS and/or SurfConnext.

Currently we provide documentation on SAML using PHP, Python and (more specifically) Django. We aim to include similar documentation on OpenID in the future.

Contents:

• SAML
  • PHP Guide
  • Python guide
  • Django guide
  • Generating self-signed certificates
  • Making a SAML trace
  • General SAML info
• Development IdP
  • Hosted test IdP

Note

Did this how-to help you, but did you end up using a library not yet documented in this how-to, or do you want to suggest improvements?

Then please help us by cloning this repository, creating minimal code examples for the used programming language or updating the how-to and create a pull request.

Getting help

If you have any questions or comments about this documentation, please open a discussion on the GitHub repository.

For general questions about Federated Auth at the UU, you can contact ITS IAM through the ITS service desk.
