Moodle as IdP for a Ruby Rails App

Moodle as IdP for a Ruby Rails App

A partner of mine wants provide access to my Rails app via Moodle to his users. Apparently he wants to create a link at Moodle and grant access to his users at my Ruby Rails app.

My app is ready to receive SAML Responses from Identity Providers and I wonder if that is the solution. I mean,  suggest him to install (https://simplesamlphp.org/samlidp) and once it is done he will be able to POST SAML to my URL ( .../students/auth/saml/callback) and extract the info I need to provide access to registered users.

Am I rigth ? Does it work ?

He is a very important partner of mine and I am looking forward to have him using my app.

Thanks and I sorry for my english. It is not my native language.

There's an existing plugin, SAML Identity Provider, which should do this. It takes a bit of setting up as you need to configure SimpleSAMLphp first but when configured it allows Moodle to act as an Identity Provider so that users can access the resources of a SAML Service Provider.

I've used it with Moodle 3.6 and it worked for me.

Thanks ! My client tells it does not work with Moodle 2.6 (His version). Do you know if that is correct ?
