Hi ALL,

I have implemented SimpleSAMLphp in my custom applications and it is working fine. For single user G-Mail login, it's working perfectly. 
Want to know how to achieve the add account feature in SImpleSAMLphp?. Whenever I tried to add one more account it detects the first login user session and redirects to his G-Mail page. 

Please someone help me out. Thanks in advance.


Regards,
Mathi

You'll need to provide more technical details on what it is you want.
SimpleSAMLphp is fully multi-user capable, same as every other web
application that tracks state using HTTP Cookies.

Add accounts where and how? SimpleSAMLphp does not have accounts nor
an account managing system (in its base release).

If it "detects a session" then a session must exist in the current web
browser. That's expected behavious, of course. Are you trying to share
a single browser instance between multiple people? That's not
supported, same as with any other web application that tracks state
using HTTP Cookies.
Different people are expected to use different browsers (or browser
instances), same as everywhere else on the web.

I see. What I don't see is how this is intended to work on the SAML
level: What SAML message would your IDP need to send for this to work?
(Without a technical specification it's impossible to suggest what
you'd need to add/change in SimpleSAMLphp.)

Since the thread you reference above doesn't provide an implementation
or workaround (or anything that would be helpful here) I guess this is
up to you. Or ask the vendor you're trying to use this with.

If you't even know what SimpleSAMLphp would need to do, specifically,
this is not a SimpleSAMLphp problem (yet).
