SimpleSAMLphp basic installation project
========================================

[](#simplesamlphp-basic-installation-project)

This packages create a new SimpleSAMLphp installation based on its latest stable version.

Installation with Composer
--------------------------

[](#installation-with-composer)

Just run this to create a new installation:

```
composer.phar create-project sgomez/simplesamlphp-base simplesamlphp
```

Configuring simpleSAMLphp
-------------------------

[](#configuring-simplesamlphp)

Please, read the [official documentation](https://simplesamlphp.org/docs/stable/).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

You need to configure the enviroment variable **SIMPLESAMLPHP\_CONFIG\_DIR** with the */config*directory path. If you don't do this, simpleSAMLphp will search the config directory inside */vendor*. Ex.:

```
SIMPLESAMLPHP_CONFIG_DIR=/var/simplesamlphp/config

```

You will find the usual template folders *config-templates* and *metadata-templates* as links to the original folders (inside vendors). Inside the *config* folder you can see a *config.php.dist* file. You should use this template to create your own *config.php* instead the one inside *config-template*. Basically this file its configured to search the metadata and other config files from the root installation path instead the vendor simpleSAMLphp installation. The changes you fill find are:

```
$config = array(
    //...
    'certdir' => __DIR__.'/../cert/',
    'loggingdir' => __DIR__.'/../var/log/',
    'datadir' => __DIR__.'/../var/data/',
    //...
    'metadata.sources' => array(
        array('type' => 'flatfile', 'directory' => __DIR__ . '/../metadata'),
    ),
    //...
);
```

Updating simpleSAMLphp
----------------------

[](#updating-simplesamlphp)

If a new version of simpleSAMLphp is released, all you need to do is this:

```
composer.phar update
```

You are free to install new simpleSAMLphp modules as usual without restore the *composer.json* before updating, because you are using it as a library.

Enable or disable modules
-------------------------

[](#enable-or-disable-modules)

Because you shouldn't touch the vendor directory to enable or disable the simpleSAMLphp modules, you must use the 'module.enable' option in `config.php`.
