What is SAML force authentication?
Force authentication allows you to force re-authentication of users even if the user has a SSO session at the IdP. Add a Subject element with a NameID to the SAML AuthnRequest for the IdP. This must be a \SAML2\XML\saml\NameID object. Note: SAML 2 specific.
What is SP-initiated?
Service Provider (SP) initiated SSO involves the SP creating a SAML request, forwarding the user and the request to the Identity Provider (IdP), and then, once the user has authenticated, receiving a SAML response & assertion from the IdP. This flow would typically be initiated by a login button within the SP.
What is SP-initiated flow?
Identity Provider Initiated SSO Flow Allows an identity provider (IDP) to redirect to a service provider (SP) with a SAML assertion which confirms their identity and allows for automatic login. NOTE: The system that authenticates users is called an identity provider.

What is simplesimplesaml PHP?
SimpleSAMLphp is an alternative SP implementation that can be used in place of Shibboleth SP – and can be particularly suitable on hosted servers without root access or the ability to install full software packages.
How do I test the SimpleSAMLPhP IDP?
This should be available from /saml2/idp/metadata.php. The simplest way to test the IdP is to configure a SimpleSAMLphp SP on the same machine. See the instructions for configuring SimpleSAMLphp as an SP. When running a SimpleSAMLphp IdP and a SimpleSAMLphp SP on the same computer, the SP and IdP MUST be configured with different hostnames.
Can I run simplesaml PHP IDP and SP on the same computer?
When running a SimpleSAMLphp IdP and a SimpleSAMLphp SP on the same computer, the SP and IdP MUST be configured with different hostnames. This prevents cookies from the SP to interfere with cookies from the IdP.
Which SAML certificates does simplesimplesaml work with?
SimpleSAMLphp will only work with RSA certificates. DSA certificates are not supported. The SAML 2.0 IdP is configured by the metadata stored in metadata/saml20-idp-hosted.php .
