silverstripe-shibboleth
=======================

[](#silverstripe-shibboleth)

Extends the [silverstripe-saml](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-saml) module for Silverstripe 4 to provide [Shibboleth](https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/IDP30/Home) specific bindings, and allow the silverstripe-saml module to be used with a Shibboleth-backed identity provider (IdP).

See the [silverstripe-saml developer documentation](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-saml/tree/master/docs/en) for the majority of information on how to configure this module. Additional features specific to Shibboleth are noted below.

Custom configuration
--------------------

[](#custom-configuration)

### Implementing your own custom SAMLConfiguration

[](#implementing-your-own-custom-samlconfiguration)

This module defines a sub-class of `SAMLConfiguration` for the `SAMLConfService`. If you want to extend it, make sure you extend `ShibSAMLConfiguration`.

### Specifying a custom attribute as the NameID

[](#specifying-a-custom-attribute-as-the-nameid)

Some Shibboleth implementations will always present a transient NameID, meaning that it can't be used to identify the same user every time. If this is the case, check with the IdP vendor first - the best option is to have the NameID returned in a persistent format (see [Shibboleth Name Identifiers documentation](https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/CONCEPT/NameIdentifiers)).

However, if changing this isn't possible, you can optionally specify an attribute that is returned in the SAML response to use instead as the 'NameID' (e.g. the unique value used to lookup a user).

Do this by adding the following to your YML configuration:

```
# The below will use the eduPersonPrincipalName attribute to determine the NameID
# See a full list of oid -> 'friendly name' mappings here: https://incommon.org/community-practices-and-standards/object-identifier-registrations/
Madmatt\Shibboleth\SAMLConfiguration:
  nameid_override_attribute: "urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.6"
```

### Specifying a custom SilverStripe field to compare the NameID to

[](#specifying-a-custom-silverstripe-field-to-compare-the-nameid-to)

By default, the Shibboleth module does not change how the NameID is compared to how the base module works (e.g. it will store the NameID in the `GUID` column, and lookup existing members using that field). However, you can override this by providing a value for the `shib_unique_identifier_field` config variable.

This may be useful in a situation where you are migrating from the old SilverStripe `auth_external` module, using the Apache `mod_shib` module (which populates `$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']` by default).

```
Madmatt\Shibboleth\SAMLConfiguration:
  shib_unique_identifier_field: Email
```
