Full user documentation can be found at [https://drupalkit.its.utexas.edu/docs/getting\_started/pantheon\_setup.html#integrating-enterprise-authentication](https://drupalkit.its.utexas.edu/docs/getting_started/pantheon_setup.html#integrating-enterprise-authentication) Architectural overview ---------------------- [](#architectural-overview) Getting the University's SAML-based sign-in method (Enterprise Authentication) working with Drupal, on Pantheon, involves a coordination of different components. The following provides a high-level explanation of how the pieces fit together: 1. **[Enterprise Authentication](https://ut.service-now.com/sp?id=ut_bs_service_detail&sys_id=30cb4f61db6c0450838fdee5ce961979)**: the login system, developed and maintained by the University's Information and Access Management (IAM) team that allows applications to use EID-based authentication. It supports Security Assertion Markup Language version 2.0 (SAML 2). In Single Sign On (SSO) terminology, this acts as the Identity Provider (IdP). 2. **[simplesamlphp](https://simplesamlphp.org/) library**: a third-party library which provides the business logic to handle SAML requests in PHP. It has a large collection of sub-libraries. We use only the base library. In SSO terminology, it acts as the Service Provider (SP). 3. **pantheon\_saml\_data**. This is a collection of certificate and metadata attributes that authorize the `simplesamlphp` library to talk to Enterprise Authentication. These were provisioned in coordination with the IAM team. 4. **[simplesamlphp\_auth](https://drupal.org/project/simplesamlphp_auth):** A Drupal module that integrates the request/response API from `simplesamlphp` into Drupal's authentication system. Specifically, it provides a way for Drupal to redirect users to Enterprise Authentication and then evaluate the response sent back after a login and take action with Drupal's user login/registration system based on that response. We also use this module on some sites to do EID-affiliation-based authorization, such as allowing EID holders with the affiliation `current-staff` to receive the Drupal role `staff`. 5. **[pantheon\_saml\_integration](https://github.austin.utexas.edu/eis1-wcs/pantheon_saml_integration):** a Composer plugin developed by the WCMS team to connect the above components in the Pantheon filesystem. This plugin, for example, creates a required symlink at `/simplesaml` for the simplesamlphp library, and symlinks for the certificates and metadata from Pantheon's private file system. As a Composer plugin distributed on Packagist that has a dependency on `simplesamlphp_auth`, it is the only package sites need to require in their `composer.json` to have all the elements needed in the codebase. ### Health Score 42 — FairBetter than 88% of packages Maintenance46 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity28 Limited adoption so far Community18 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity64 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 95.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
