Great SAML plugin

Great SAML plugin

by Hal Sclater

Excellent, working with Azure AD

Works very well with Azure AD, nice and simple but enough functionality. Only tricky part was the attribute mapping: These can be found in Azure AD, click the edit button on User Attributes & mapping,

It’s simple and works in multisite setups as well.

This plugin just works

We had no trouble installing and configuring the plugin. When we ran into an issue, it was no trouble to interact with the plugin authors.

Been using this for years, never had any problems

I am ashamed to say I have been using this excellent plugin for years without a single issue yet never took a moment to leave a review, which I am remedying now. Excellent work. Thank you all for this
