Install simpleSAMLphp
Installing simpleSAMLphp can be very straightforward, but it is can also be easy to experience some problems. If you have complete control over the server you will be using to host your application, you can use the documentation provided by simpleSAMLphp. In either case, it is a good reference and you should keep an eye on it, to know more about it. Go to installing simpleSAMLphp and configuration, to see their documentation. If you have simpleSAMLphp already installed, please go to configuring simpleSAMLphp
At this point you should have WordPress up and running on your server. https://www.mws.org/ can point directly to it, or you could host it in a subfolder called blog. If you have not done this, please refer back to the Installing WordPress step.
Start by fetching the latest version of simpleSAMLphp on their downloads page. They recommend downloading featured packages only, and so do we. Extract the archive into, and move the folder into the wordpress folder, so your structure will look like this (assuming wordpress is inside a folder called blog).
server_root/blog/
server_root/blog/simplesamlphp/
This will cause WordPress to think that simplesamlphp is actually a part of WordPress and tries to draw its elements on any page you load. We want to discourage so we need some rule to make sure that wordpress ignores that folder. To solve that problem we will use a rewrite rule, that servers like apache and LiteSpeed understand.
