Laravel 5.5 - Saml2

This package offers Saml2 integration as a Service Provider. It uses OneLogin APIs to connect with IPD and retreive parsed data. The code was tested on Laravel Homestead Virtual machine with PHP 7.1 and Laravel 5.5.28.

Installation

You can install this project using composer command

composer require BasvanH/simplesaml

Laravel Configuration

You need to update the below code to execute this package

1. First make sure you run the php artisan vendor:publish command. This command will copy the saml2_settings.php file to config folder.

2. Next, you want to update settings inside this folder or add environment variables to .env file for idp_host, sp_entityid, ipd_entityid, and idp_x509. Here are the sample settings:

    #SAML2 Settings
    SAML2_IDP_HOST=https://developer.oktapreview.com
    SAML2_SP_ENTITYID=myapp
    SAML2_IDP_URI="/saml2/idp/ssoservice.php"
    SAML2_IDP_ENTITYID=http://www.okta.com/exkd9nlyw4oshZ4U80h8
    SAML2_IDP_x509="..."

3. Update config\app.php with the following:

    'aliases' => [
        ....
        'Saml2' => BasvanH\SimpleSaml\Facades\Saml2Auth::class,
    ];
    'providers' => [
        ....
        BasvanH\SimpleSaml\Providers\SimpleSamlServiceProvider::class,
    ];

4. Inside the Kernel.php, you would want to setup few things for saml to work as follows: Update middlewaregroup block:

        protected $middlewareGroups = [
            .....
            'saml2group' => [
                \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
                \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
                \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
                \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
                \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
            ],
        ];
    Also, add the following line to the routeMiddleware block:
        protected $routeMiddleware = [
            ....
            'saml2' => \BasvanH\SimpleSaml\Middleware\Saml2Middleware::class,
        ];

5. Update EventServiceProvider.php with the following:

    protected $listen = [
            ....
            'BasvanH\SimpleSaml\Events\Saml2LoginEvent' => [
                'App\Listeners\UserLoggedIn'],  
        ];

6. Finally, create Listener class inside /Listeners folder as follows:

    <?php

namespace App\Listeners;

use App\User;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use BasvanH\SimpleSaml\Events\Saml2LoginEvent;

class UserLoggedIn
{
    /**
     * Create the event listener.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Handle the event.
     *
     * @param  Saml2LoginEvent  $event
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle(Saml2LoginEvent $event)
    {
        if (!$event->getSaml2Auth()->isAuthenticated()) {
            Log::info('The user is not authenticated');
            return redirect(config('saml2_settings.logoutRoute'));
        }

        $samlUser = $event->getSaml2User();
       
        $attributes = $samlUser->getAttributes();
        
        //check if email already exists and fetch user
        $user = \App\User::where('email', $attributes['email'][0])->first();
        
        //if email doesn't exist, create new user
		if ($user === null)
		{		
			$user = new \App\User;
            $user->email = $attributes['email'][0];
            $user->firstname = $attributes['firstname'][0];
            $user->lastname = $attributes['lastname'][0];
			$user->save();
		}

        if (count($attributes) >= 4) {
            //Add values to PHP and Laravel Session
            session()->put('email', $attributes['email'][0]);
            session()->put('firstname', $attributes['firstname'][0]);
            session()->put('lastname', $attributes['lastname'][0]);
            
            //The below block is useful if your application host both laravel and non-larvel code in one domain.
            session_start();
            $_SESSION['email'] = $user->email;
            $_SESSION['shortname'] = $user->shortname;
            $_SESSION['firstname'] = $user->firstname;
            $_SESSION['lastname'] = $user->lastname;
        }
        
        session()->save();

        Auth::login($user, true);
    }
}
