Any idea what's causing this error? I've been getting it intermittently.

SAML2 exception: Error validating SubjectConfirmation in Assertion: NotOnOrAfter in SubjectConfirmationData is in the past: 1727448664

My moodle setup is on AWS.
SimpleSAMLphp version: 1.19.7

Upon investigating, it may be caused by the server clocks not synchornized. Did all possible troubleshooting. After checking our AWS instance and IDP provider, everything seems to check out correctly.

Is there support planned for 3.9.x? Also - I'm wondering if anyone has encountered issues with Moodle 3.7 and callback URLs being http despite site settings being set to https (this is related to a new security feature Chrome rolled out and then rolled back until January 2021) Here is a great post about it including the link to a "bug" report filed with Chrome - though it is not a bug with Chrome. The issue reared it's head yesterday. Since they rolled back the change, you can't reproduce it today, but using SAML Tracer plugin for Chrome, you may see an http:// URL in there redirecting to https://. Thanks!

Is there any way with this module to add a IDP public assertion certificate like the type that Azure AD puts out?

From the SimpleSamlPHP documetnation under IDP where you add SingleSignOnService and SingleLogoutService, you can also add a cert. I do not see any way to add that with this module

Hi Bobby,

I never tested the module on a instance with 30.000 courses.
I guess in that case you have an error due lack of memory for the PHP process.
I dont see an easy solution here, rather than try to identify the number of courses and if they are more than 2000 try to paginate them, but this is a complex feature to be added.

I'm just wondering if other large Moodle instances have had trouble with the course mapping feature. I had to comment out the lines in the settings.php file that print out those settings. This is because our instance of Moodle contains about 30,000 courses. Do you have other suggestions besides what I did?

@chelsy

"User id is required when printing user avatar image" is not an error related to the SAML plugin, it seems something related to to your template.

@Simon Harbinson,

those parameters will be listed on the User Attribute Mapping section.
Are you sure you are adding in the settings the same values that came from the simpleSAMLphp SP?
You can always add a breakpoint at https://github.com/onelogin/moodle-saml/blob/0c4ffbe9ab7b31c215bc6a0790602c680ff3f42e/auth/onelogin_saml/index.php#L163
and see the data that returns the getAttributes method and compare the names there with the ones you set on the mapping section.

We have big problems with this plugin with moodle versions 3.6.2 amd 3.6.3. Upgrading broke the database because it named plugin wrong. We fixed it manually but after saving some settings the next page can not be shown. Only blank page is shown with http error 500. This problem is only in moodles with this plugin. What makes this problem? Version of this plugin is the newest one.

Hi - just wondering what the relaystate setting should be in simplesamlphp in order for this work properly.

For example - we are trying to pass in a link to a course:
{url}/enrol/index.php?id=1184

The relay state is set to:
{moodle_url}/auth/saml/index.php

I released a version compatible with moodle 3.4+ but it removes support for internal/external role/course mapping. Now those data is managed as moodle settings.

I followed the above instructions and after this step

"After the installation we must configure the saml plugin, so go to "Settings" if you are in
"Manage Authentication" page, or you can also go to Users > Authentication > SAML Authentication."

I could not see the settings option beside "Site administration --> Plugins --> Authentication --> Manage authentication --> SAML Authentication".

I have installed and configured SimpleSAMLphp. I configured "/var/www/simplesamlphp/lib" path in /auth/saml/samp_config.php file. Still I could not see the Setting link for SAML Authentication plugin.

Could you please help me.

Thanks,
Naresh
