SAML with Shibboleth support

[Nogbit]

It seems this was supported in travelogue with passport. I still don't know why travelogue was abandoned in favor of bell but it kind of leaves new projects in no mans land that that need SAML support.

@Nogbit I would like to see SAML support as well. If someone is willing to contribute it then that would be the fastest way to get it into bell.

We decided to stick with Express for the time being, if one of us gets the bandwidth we could contribute and we did discuss that.

thinking if you take passport-saml and create the wrapper for hapi-bell it might work. Ideally, with maintaining passport-saml saml.js as a library, not forking. Anyone interested ?

+1 non-SAML support is making us stick with Express for now, but would love to help and contribute.

I'd love to be able to use SAML with bell. Any thought on where to start?

[ldesplat]

You would have to implement it. So you would add a new protocol to bell called SAML.

A protocol is really this:

var SAML = function (settings) {

    return function (request, reply) {
        // Implement the whole SAML flow
    }
}

You can find the complicated specs here https://wiki.oasis-open.org/security/FrontPage#SAML_V2.0_Standard and there https://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-core-2.0-os.pdf

If you do decide to try writing it, you may make a PR request and we can see how we can help you to get it done properly.

I managed to use passport-saml with hapi. I think that it should be a separate plugin as it has a specific auth flow than OAuth (e.g. metadata endpoint). I probly work on this later this year, but suffice to say that integrating it to bell is not straightforward

[PaulMougel]

Thanks @molekilla for giving this is a spin! Would you care to share how you integrated passport-saml into hapi?
