Re: simplesamlphp + nginx configuration

[Wolfgang Hennerbichler]

I've written something up here:
http://www.wogri.at/openID-provider.332.0.html
it's how to make it work as an openid-provider, but it includes the
nginx config you're looking for.
and yes, nightmare.

Yep, just finished mine up yesterday, actually, and had similar PATH_INFO issues, perhaps. If you're on Ubuntu using FPM, here's what I did:

1. Added this line to my fastcgi_params file

    fastcgi_param   PATH_INFO               $fastcgi_path_info;

2. In my authenticating virtual host (not the IDP host), I added

    location ~ ^/simplesaml/(.+\.php.*)$ {

      alias /opt/dev/saml-sp/www/$1;

      # The usual fastcgi stuff plus...

      fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\/module\.php)(/.+)$;

    }

    location ~ ^/simplesaml/(.*) {

      alias /opt/dev/saml-sp/www/$1;

    }

Hope that helps. It's not fully tested yet, but seems okay so far.
