- Shibboleth Service Provider, which is implemented and maintained by the Shibboleth Consortium. It’s the most common and popular SAML implementation in eduGAIN and it also includes most features relevant for eduGAIN. Therefore, this is generally the recommended SAML implementation to use. It works very well with Apache and IIS as web server. It requires root access because it requires the mod_shib web server module.
- SimpleSAMLphp, which is implemented and maintained by Uninett. This PHP implementation of SAML is recommended only if PHP is already used. It does not require root access but to make use of federated login requires code changes in a PHP application.
Please read section 4.2 (Installation & Configuration), which contains detailed instructions for the installation and necessary configuration of a Service Provider, using one of the aforementioned implementations. Also make sure that, once installed, the Service Provider is tested using the SAML implementations sanity checks (e.g. for Shibboleth running "shibd -t" on linux) to ensure that the software was correctly installed. Ideally, the Service Provider is also tested against a SAML2 Identity Provider to ensure that it was configured correctly.

Once the Service Provider software is installed, configured (see section 4.2) and functional, the next step is to register the Service Provider with the UKAMF federation.
