Hi, @sbernhard. As far as I know, nobody has been working on this issue. Feel free to have a look :smile:.

@sbernhard - Did you manage to have a look at this? We're also looking as we'd like to use SAML to authenticate with myAccount ( Scotland's Public Sector SSO ).

We've now managed to successfully integrate Omniauth-Saml with Consul for the Scottish Councils and are testing at the moment. There are so many configurable options with Omniauth-Saml that it takes a bit of time to create something that is customisable and usable for different cases. We have a branch with the basic integration but to get it working on our site (due to Security Options/CSRF/Name Formats/Metadata Parser issues) we needed to make multiple changes to the basic code.
