This is a [SAML 2.0](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAML_2.0) authentication provider for [Passport](http://passportjs.org/), the Node.js authentication library.

The code was originally based on Michael Bosworth's [express-saml](https://github.com/bozzltron/express-saml) library.

Passport-SAML has been tested to work with Onelogin, Okta, Shibboleth, [SimpleSAMLphp](http://simplesamlphp.org/) based Identity Providers, and with [Active Directory Federation Services](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Directory_Federation_Services).

As each Node LTS version reaches its end-of-life we will remove that version from the `node` `engines` property of our package's `package.json` file. Removing a Node version is considered a breaking change and will entail the publishing of a new major version of this package. We will not accept any requests to support an end-of-life version of Node. Any merge requests or issues supporting an end-of-life version of Node will be closed.

We will accept code that allows this package to run on newer, non-LTS, versions of Node.

## Project History

The project was started by @bergie in 2012 based on Michael Bosworth's [express-saml](https://github.com/bozzltron/express-saml) library. From 2014 - 2016, @ploer served as primary maintainer.
@markstos served the primary maintainer from 2017 till 2020 when he created the node-saml organization. With a goal to create a team of maintainers, invitations were sent to major contributors and fork authors to work together to maintain all the improvements in one place.

Since 2020, @cjbath emerged as the primary maintainer, with major contributions from @gugu and @zoellner. Major updates from the team included rewriting the project in TypeScript and splitting off a `node-saml` module which can be used without Passport. Almost 100 other developers have contributed improvements to the project.

The project continues to be maintained by volunteers. Contributions small and large are welcome.
