This package makes it possible to define multiple service provider, that could be used to authenticate your Laravel Users.
Install the package by running. It will automatically install the dependencies.
composer require topredmedia/laravel-saml
The SAMLServiceProvider should be automatically loaded by Laravel >= 5.5.
To publish the configuration file run:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="TopRedMedia\SAML\SAMLServiceProvider"
The configuration is done in the config/topredmedia-saml.php file. The file is structured in three parts:
The route prefix entry is prepended to each route and defaults to saml.
It is possible to define multiple endpoints which means, that you can use the package to identify your users from different ISPs. Each endpoint is identified by a key which is also used as route part. The configuration ships with a sample endpoint, so for that the login route would be https://yourlaravelsite.com/saml/sample/login.
All settings in the default array will internally be copied to each endpoint definition. If the endpoint overwrites a key that had been defined in the default that is fine.
You do not neew to alter the routes or Controller. Just listen for the TopRedMedia\SAML\UserLoggedInEvent or TopRedMedia\SAML\UserLoggedOutEvent events.
The package creates five routes for each endpoint. For the prefix saml and the endpoints google that would be:
- /saml/google/login - Used to start the login process
- /saml/google/logout - Used to start the logout process
- /saml/google/metadata - The entity ID URI used to create the SP on the ISP side.
- /saml/google/sls - URL used internally in the SAML process.
- /saml/google/acs - URL used internally in the SAML process.
Enter the information from the desired ISP directly into the configuration file or create appropriate env variables for that. Just have a look at the sample endpoint how you could do that.
If the user successfully authenticates, the ISPController will dispatch a TopRedMedia\SAML\UserLoggedInEvent. It contains a TopRedMedia\SAML\SAMLUser object, which has all the needed information for you to check if a user exists or should be created. Just create your Listener, handle the event and you are done. A dumped event may have these values (depending on the attributes you define). Note that it has the user object, which itself has an instance of SAMLAuth and the endpoint key.

If there are more endpoints defined, it is absolutely ok to create a listener for each endpoint and only handle the event if the endpoint is valid for your listener. If your listener was responsible for a certain event, just stop the event propagation by returning false in the listener.
The package was heavily influenced by the https://github.com/aacotroneo/laravel-saml2 package. Since we need multiple ISPs, we decided to do a rewrite.
