# An extremely simple example of a SAML2 identity provider.

There are 2 example IDPs in the project’s example directory:

- idp2 has a static definition of users:

  - user attributes are defined in idp_user.py

  - the password is defined in the PASSWD dict in idp.py

- idp2_repoze is using repoze.who middleware to perform authentication and attribute retrieval

## Configuration

Entity configuration is described in “Configuration of pysaml2 entities” Server parameters like host and port and various command line parameters are defined in the main part of idp.py

### Setup:

The folder [your path]/pysaml2/example/idp2 contains a file named idp_conf.py.example

Take the file named idp_conf.py.example and rename it idp_conf.py

Generate a metadata file based in the configuration file (idp_conf.py) by using the command:

    make_metadata.py idp_conf.py > idp.xml

### Run IDP:

Open a Terminal:

    cd [your path]/pysaml2/example/idp2
    python idp.py idp_conf

Note that you should not have the .py extension on the idp_conf.py while running the program
