Hi Jeri

I work with Bill who posted the original question and yes we did get a solution working. We used the plugin available at:

https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=auth_saml

with simplesamlphp as the Service Provider. The Identity Provider was setup by the client and used ADFS. Unfortunately they encountered numerous issues so it took us a while to get it going but we got there in the end.

If you are doing something similar then I would strongly recommend validating your installation against the IdP provided by the simplesamlphp developers - it gives you the confidence to know that your installation is correctly installed and working, so then any further issues your side are likely down to configuration only.

Also, the simplesamlphp debug option is brilliant - well worth enabling if you have any issues.

Cheers

Darren
