Is there a sample configuration which uses SAML/WS-Fed on an ADFS
server? I want to authenticate using wtrealm, wtctx, ... URL
parameters however SimpleSAML seems to always append ?SAMLRequest= to
the URL instead.

Unfortunately, the WS-Federation support in simpleSAMLphp hasn't been
updated to the new authentication framework. This means that it is
configured differently from the standard SAML SP.

Take a look at the following files:

- www/example-simple/wsfed-example.php
- metadata-templates/wsfed-sp-hosted.php
- metadata-templates/wsfed-idp-remote.php

Thanks! That example works like a charm.
Is there a way to hook this into SimpleSAML_Auth_Simple? I'm using a
Moodle plugin that should authenticate and is written based on
SimpleSAML_Auth_Simple.

Best regards,
Maarten

Unfortunately not. That was what I was referring to when I said "the

WS-Federation support in simpleSAMLphp hasn't been updated to the new
authentication framework".
