Truth in attempted assistance: don't run this authentication method and have no real reason to install it, but do run Moodle 2.2.x.  You might not be making a mistake from your description of  how you installed.

One could try this:

copy the *contents* of [moodle]/auth/saml/lang/en/auth_saml.php

into the file  [yourmoodle/lang/en/auth.php (there is a language file for es and es_es as well).  Your language setting?  Just add the *contents* to the bottom of the file.

Be carefull:

* work with a copy of auth.php

* do not to break/word wrap lines

* make sure there are no blank lines at the end of the auth.php file.

* and last but not least, assure the copy has the same permissions/ownership etc. that the original auth.php file had.

To assist anyone who might hit this in future:

As well as the auth/saml configuration page check the following JSON values in: auth/saml/saml_config.php In particular: "sp_source":"saml". That is the authentication source it is looking for and it needs to be set up in SimpleSAMLphp under config/authsources.php with the same name.
