Install via Composer -------------------- [](#install-via-composer) `composer require theodorejb/saml-utils` Working with metadata --------------------- [](#working-with-metadata) The `SamlMetadata` class simplifies getting data from Identity Provider metadata. Call `SamlMetadata::fromXml($xml)` to create an instance from an Entity Descriptor XML string. The underlying `EntityDescriptor` object can be accessed via a readonly `$entityDescriptor` property. `SamlMetadata` implements the following methods: ### `getIdpCertificate()` [](#getidpcertificate) Returns an `X509Certificate` instance for the Identity Provider certificate. ### `getIdpSsoService()` [](#getidpssoservice) Returns the Redirect or POST `SingleSignOnService` defined by the Identity Provider for receiving a SAML request to initiate single sign-on. ### `getIdpLogoutService()` [](#getidplogoutservice) Returns the Redirect or POST `SingleLogoutService` defined by the Identity Provider. Utility methods --------------- [](#utility-methods) The `SamlUtils` class implements the following static utility methods: ### `getRequestFromGlobals(): MessageContext` [](#getrequestfromglobals-messagecontext) Returns an object for the SAML request or response from the global GET/POST data. ### `getMessageHttpResponse(SamlMessage $message, string $bindingType): ResponseInterface` [](#getmessagehttpresponsesamlmessage-message-string-bindingtype-responseinterface) Returns a PSR-7 `Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface` instance for sending the SAML message. ### `sendResponse(ResponseInterface $response): void` [](#sendresponseresponseinterface-response-void) Emits a PSR-7 `Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface` to the client by sending its status line, headers, and body. ### `createSpMetadata(string $entityId, string $acsPostUrl, string $slsRedirectUrl, X509Certificate $certificate): string` [](#createspmetadatastring-entityid-string-acsposturl-string-slsredirecturl-x509certificate-certificate-string) Returns signed Service Provider metadata XML with an HTTP-POST assertion consumer service and HTTP-Redirect single logout service. ### `validateSignature(SamlMessage $message, X509Certificate $certificate): void` [](#validatesignaturesamlmessage-message-x509certificate-certificate-void) Throws an Exception if the message signature is missing or fails verification with the certificate. ### `getSubjectNameId(SamlResponse $response): string` [](#getsubjectnameidsamlresponse-response-string) Returns the user identity being asserted by the identity provider. ### `getFirstAttributeStatement(SamlResponse $response): AttributeStatement|null` [](#getfirstattributestatementsamlresponse-response-attributestatementnull) Returns the first assertion attribute statement if one exists. ### `getAttributeStatementValue(AttributeStatement $statement, string $name): string` [](#getattributestatementvalueattributestatement-statement-string-name-string) Returns the assertion attribute value for the specified attribute name. Throws an exception if the attribute doesn't exist. ### `getResponseAttributeValue(SamlResponse $response, string $name): string` [](#getresponseattributevaluesamlresponse-response-string-name-string) Same as `getAttributeStatementValue()`, but can be used directly from a `SamlResponse` rather than an `AttributeStatement`. ### Health Score 52 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance94 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity23 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity68 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
