Hello All, 

We need to configure Moodle as SAML Identity Provider (IdP). We do have some administratives services as Service Provider and we want to make an SSO using Moodle as IdP. 

Does anyone know how to do it?

Best regards

Alfredo

I am also looking into this option to allow a single sign on for our Moodle users to complete a course on an external LMS (non moodle) that has suggested we use SAML for the SSO process (to save 10,00 users having to create a new account on the external system).

I have found documentation to allow SAML as a Moodle authentication option but not how to configure Moodle to be an identity provider - is this possible?

The other LMS  is not an LTI  publisher so are there any other options to look at?

Regards

The way to use Moodle as Identity Provider is to use its database as the authentication source of the Identity Provider.

An open source solution is to install and deploy simpleSAMLphp as Identity Provider.
The use the sqlauth:sql authsource connecting it to Moodle, or implement an specific auth module.

If you have some budget for that project, I can take care of all the process. (BTW. I'm the author of the auth_saml module.)
