Setting up python-saml for Azure AD

gistfile1.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

"""

  This script will help you authenticate a Django application using python-saml with Azure AD.
  
  This is sample code.
  
  Usage:
  
    ./script.py <application host> <federation metadata URL>
    
  Example:
  
    python script.py http://vm.cloudapp.net https://login.microsoftonline.com/95133f51-071a-4531-99b9-5a3b9a116600/federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml > saml/settings.json
  
  1. Get and build python-saml from https://github.com/onelogin/python-saml
    * In Ubuntu, requirements include python-libxml2 libxml2-dev libxmlsec1-dev libpython2.7-dev swig python-django python-lxml python-isodate
    * Also, sudo pip install untangle to use this script.
  2. Create your Azure AD domain, a user for testing, and an application
     * SSO URI is http://fqdn/?sso
     * ID URI is http://fqdn/metadata/
  3. Grab the federation metadata URL for your application (under "View endpoints")
  4. Use this script to generate a demo-django/saml/settings.json file
  5. Run python manage.py runserver and browse to http://fqdn/?sso

@gongmingwei did you manage to finish off your SSO/SAML solution? Could you share you experience, or point us new to the area to some resources?

Hi, @ghost I'm also working on getting an Azure SAML SSO + flask + python 3. I'm currently using pysaml2 but I'm getting bad responses from the IDP. Were you able to get your project working?
