SSO solution for edX

[Trinh Nguyen]

Hi,

My school has a Student Information System (SIS) which can act as an Identity Provider for Single Sign-On (SSO) with SAML 2.0 standard. I intend to let our students access the edX-platform without re-authenticating when they have already logged in into our SIS. So, I'm looking for some Django apps or Python modules support that kind of authentication to integrate into the Open edX. I found djangosaml2 (based on pysaml2 module) but it seems to be outdated and not really acts as an authentication backend for Django.

It would be great if anyone have a way to make the LMS/CMS work with simplesamlphp. If you guys have experience or found any useful articles about this, please suggest me! 

Thank you in advance!

You can search for shibboleth in both the edx/configuration repository, and in edx/edx-platform

See https://shibboleth.net/ also.

Those examples of how to integrate an API might provide some insight.

There's another active thread on this list, titled "Open edX Third-Party Authentication Module Now Available" that has details on how to create new authentication modules: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/edx-code/b1ccc6dJ6ZE
