Tiki17 can be a SAML Service Provider (SP), thanks to the integration of OneLogin's SAML PHP Toolkit.
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based, open-standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider.
The single most important requirement that SAML addresses is web browser single sign-on (SSO). Single sign-on is common at the intranet level (using cookies, for example) but extending it beyond the intranet has been problematic and has led to the proliferation of non-interoperable proprietary technologies. (Another more recent approach to addressing the browser SSO problem is the OpenID Connect protocol.)
If you require Tiki to be an Identity provider (IdP): It has been done but it's not properly documented. The general idea is to install SimpleSAMLphp and let SimpleSAMLphp access Tiki's database. Please see: https://github.com/pitbulk/tiki-saml/blob/master/doc/tiki_wiki_as_idp.rst
If you need this feature and would like this to be streamlined, documented and future-proof (as was done for Tiki as a Service Provider ), please contact Marc Laporte so we can make this happen together.
