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), just 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
