With its help, user can perform quick authentication, based on credentials retrieved from Facebook Graph and data received from SQL database. Connection with a SQL database is completely optional and FLS can use Facebook as a data provider and forward User Fields from Facebook as attributes to Service Provider. In this case FLS evolves into Facebook "Data Connector".

NIIF SLO plugin	2.4+	haim@hrz.uni-marburg.de	Single Logout (SLO) implementation by the Hungarian NIIF institute, but rewritten as plugin for a default Shibboleth IdP 2.4

Service Provider Extensions

The following extensions are software components that may be installed into the Shibboleth 2 Service Provider.

Extension	Supported SP Versions	Maintainer Contact Info.	Description
Attribute Query	2.5 or later	GakuNin Federation/PEOFIAMP	Allows making SAML Attribute Queries via /Shibboleth.sso/AttributeQuery?entityID=...&nameId=... and getting back (user) attributes in a JSON data structure. Also includes a Python script attributequery.py to execute in a terminal. This extension is faster and more interoperable than using the resolvertest binary that is bundled with the SP.

Name	Maintainer Contact Info.	Description
XmlSecTool	users@shibboleth.net (subscription required)	Java-based tool for downloading, checking well-formedness, schema validity, and signature of XML documents. Also provides ability to sign XML documents.
Shule Aroon	repeatedly@gmail.com	A discovery service, written in Ruby.
JBoss-SAML	nick.x.newman@gmail.com	An all-Java SP. A Git patch to configure JBoss such that any standard deployed applications become SAML enabled. From a clean JBoss download do "git apply path-to-patch" to apply the changes. A README is supplied. I based the patch on JBoss-6.0.0.M2, but hopefully it with work with other versions too. If you really can't work with the patch I may be able to provide the complete SP, but the patch is really better since it is not tied so tightly to a single JBoss version and it lets you see what has been done.
simple bash ECP client	Scott Koranda	A simple demonstration ECP client written in bash. It requires bash 4 and the curl and xlstproc command line tools. It has been tested on Debian Jessie against a Shib 2.4.4 and 3.2.1 IdP and Shib 2.5.6 Native SP.
simple Python ECP client	Scott Koranda	A simple demonstration ECP client written in Python. It requires Python 2.6+ and the Python lxml toolkit. It has been tested on Debian Wheezy against a Shib 2.4.4 and 3.1.1 IdP and Shib 2.5.4 Native SP.
PKI enabled Python 3.4 ECP client	Rob Eastman	A PKI enabled Python 3.4 ECP client that can take in as arguments a single URL or a "\n" separated file of URLs. Especially helpful for enabling web crawlers to crawl a SAML 2.0 ECP enabled site that requires a PKI certificate at the IdP. Tested with Shibboleth SP 2.5.3 and IdP 2.4.3.
IdP Load Tester	Steve Thorpe	stressTest.sh and its companion program check_sp-test.my.org_shib_login.pl are meant to help "stress test" a Shibboleth IdP (and SP). I used it to run about successful 150-200 logins per minute, using an IdP running on a VM on older HW, with only 512MB RAM. The code exercises SP -> WAYF -> IdP -> SP end-to-end tests and produces ASCII output. YOU WILL NEED TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE CODE BEFORE USING THIS, as modifications will be required. Though its only 200-300 lines of code, so hopefully it won't be too difficult to figure that out. To unroll the gzipped tarball, do the following from a Linux command line: gunzip idpLoadTester.tar.gz; tar -xvf idpLoadTester.tar
Devise Shibboleth Authenticatable RubyGem	Joe George	Devise Shibboleth Authenticatable is a Shibboleth based authentication strategy for the Devise authentication framework, http://github.com/plataformatec/devise.
ECP implementation in PHP	Ivan Novakov	Flexible and easily extensible PHP library for creating ECP enabled applications.S
Chef Cookbooks for Shibboleth	Elliot Kendall	Chef Cookbooks to install and configure the Shibboleth IdP, the Shibboleth SP, and Terracotta as Shibboleth IdP clustering solution.
JAGGER Resource Registry	Janusz Ulanowski	Web-based GUI for managing multiple federations (or webs of trust) and a Shibboleth IdP's metadata providers and attribute policy.
Salt formula for Shibboleth	Matthew X. Economou	SaltStack formula that installs and configures the Shibboleth IdP, the Shibboleth SP, and the Shibboleth DS; currently tested against CentOS 7 and FreeBSD 10, and intended for use with CentOS/Debian/FreeBSD/RHEL/SUSE/Ubuntu/Windows.
