spid-php-lib

CURRENT VERSION: v0.35

spid-php-lib

PHP package for SPID authentication.

This PHP package is aimed at implementing SPID Service Providers. SPID is the Italian digital identity system, which enables citizens to access all public services with a single set of credentials. This package provides a layer of abstraction over the SAML protocol by exposing just the subset required in order to implement SPID authentication in a web application.

Alternatives for PHP:

spid-php based on SimpleSAMLphp
spid-php2 based on php-saml

Framework specific libraries and examples based on spid-php-lib:

Alternatives for other languages:

Install with composer

composer require italia/spid-php-lib
(OPTIONAL) Manually generate key and certificate files for your Service Provider (SP).

Example: openssl req -x509 -nodes -sha256 -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -subj "/C=IT/ST=Italy/L=Milan/O=myservice/CN=localhost" -keyout sp.key -out sp.crt

This step can be skipped: the library takes care of this step automatically if you declare the optional sp_key_cert_values key in the settings array. Check the example in the Usage section for further details.
Download the Identity Provider (IdP) metadata files and place them in a directory in your project, for example idp_metadata. A convenience tool is provided to download those of the production IdPs: vendor/italia/spid-php-lib/bin/download_idp_metadata.php, example usage:
```
mkdir idp_metadata
php vendor/italia/spid-php-lib/bin/download_idp_metadata.php ./idp_metadata
```
TEST ENVIRONMENT: If you are using spid-testenv2, manually download the IdP metadata and place it in your idp_metadata folder
Make your SP known to IdPs: for production follow the guidelines at https://www.spid.gov.it/come-diventare-fornitore-di-servizi-pubblici-e-privati-con-spid

TEST ENVIRONMENT: simply download your Service Provider (SP) metadata and place it in the appropriate folder of the test environment. The test environment must be restarted after every change to the SP metadata.

Usage

All classes provided by this package reside in the Italia\Spid namespace. More detailed documentation is available in the SAMLInterface.php file.

Load them using the composer-generated autoloader:

require_once(__DIR__ . "/vendor/autoload.php");

The main class is Italia\Spid\Sp (service provider).

Generate a settings array following this guideline

$settings = array(
    'sp_entityid' => SP_BASE_URL, // preferred: https protocol, no trailing slash, example: https://sp.example.com/
    'sp_key_file' => '/path/to/sp.key',
    'sp_cert_file' => '/path/to/sp.crt',
    'sp_comparison' => 'exact', // one of: "exact", "minimum", "better" or "maximum"
    'sp_assertionconsumerservice' => [
        // order is important ! the 0-base index in this array will be used as ID in the calls
        SP_BASE_URL . '/acs',
        ...
    ],
    'sp_singlelogoutservice' => [
        // order is important ! the 0-base index in this array will be used as ID in the calls
        [SP_BASE_URL . '/slo', 'POST'],
        [SP_BASE_URL . '/slo', 'REDIRECT']
        ...
    ],
    'sp_org_name' => 'your organization full name',
    'sp_org_display_name' => 'your organization display name',
    'sp_key_cert_values' => [ // Optional: remove this if you want to generate .key & .crt files manually
        'countryName' => 'Your Country',
        'stateOrProvinceName' => 'Your Province or State',
        'localityName' => 'Locality',
        'commonName' => 'Name',
        'emailAddress' => '[email protected]',
    ]
    'idp_metadata_folder' => '/path/to/idp_metadata/',
    'sp_attributeconsumingservice' => [
        // order is important ! the 0-base index in this array will be used as ID in the calls
        ["fiscalNumber"],
        ["name", "familyName", "fiscalNumber", "email", "spidCode"],
        ...
    ],
    // Time in seconds of skew that is acceptable between client and server when checking OnBefore and NotOnOrAfter
    // assertion condition validity timestamps, and IssueInstant response / assertion timestamps. Optional.
    // Default is 0. Acceptable range: 0-300 (inclusive)
    'accepted_clock_skew_seconds' => 100
);

then initialize the main Sp class

$sp = new Italia\Spid\Sp($settings);

Don't want the library to generate .key and .crt files for you? Then remove the sp_key_cert_values key from the settings array, or decalre

// $autoconfiguration skips .key/.crt generation if set to false
$sp = new Italia\Spid\Sp($settings, null, $autoconfiguration = false);

Performing login

// shortname of IdP, same as the name of corresponding IdP metadata file, without .xml
$idpName = 'testenv';
// index of assertion consumer service as per the SP metadata (sp_assertionconsumerservice in settings array)
$assertId = 0;
// index of attribute consuming service as per the SP metadata (sp_attributeconsumingservice in settings array)
$attrId = 1;

// Generate the login URL and redirect to the IdP login page
$sp->login($idpName, $assertId, $attrId);

Complete the login operation by calling

$sp->isAuthenticated();

at the assertion consumer service URL.

Then call

$userAttributes = $sp->getAttributes();

to receive an array of the requested user attributes.

Performing logout

Call

// index of single logout service as per the SP metadata (sp_singlelogoutservice in settings array)
$sloId = 0;

$sp->logout($sloId);

The method will redirect to the IdP Single Logout page, or return false if you are not logged in.

Complete API

Method	Description
__contruct($settings, $protocol = null, $autoconfigure = true)	`$settings` should be based on the example provided in the Usage section. `$protocol` represents the protocol used for login. At the moment only `SAML` is supported, and can be selected by either `$protocol = 'saml'` or the default `$protocol = null`. `$autoconfigure` tells the constructor if it should check for .key and .crt files at the specified location from the `$settings` array and generate them in case they are not found. Set this to `false` if you wish to generate those manually.
loadIdpFromFile(string $filename)	loads an `Idp` object by parsing the provided XML at `$filename`
getIdpList() : array	loads all the `Idp` objects from the `idp_metadata_folder` provided in settings
getIdp(string $filename)	alias of `loadIdpFromFile`
getSPMetadata() : string	returns the SP metadata as a string
login(string $idpFilename, int $assertID, int $attrID, $level = 1, string $redirectTo = null, $shouldRedirect = true)	login with REDIRECT binding. Use `$idpFilename` to select in IdP for login by indicating the name (without extension) of an XML file in your `idp_metadata_folder`. `$assertID` and `$attrID` indicate respectively the array index of `sp_assertionconsumerservice` and `sp_attributeconsumingservice` provided in settings. Optional parameters: `$level` for SPID authentication level (1, 2 or 3), `$redirectTo` to indicate an url to redirect to after login, `$shouldRedirect` to indicate if the login function should automatically redirect to the IdP or should return the login url as a string
loginPost(string $idpName, int $ass, int $attr, $level = 1, string $redirectTo = null, $shouldRedirect = true)	like login, but uses POST binding
logout(int $slo, string $redirectTo = null, $shouldRedirect = true)	logout with REDIRECT binding. `$slo` indicates the array index of the `sp_singlelogoutservice` provided in settings. Optional parameters: `$redirectTo` to indicate an url to redirect to after login, `$shouldRedirect` to indicate if the login function should automatically redirect to the IdP or should return the login url as a string
logoutPost(int $slo, string $redirectTo = null, $shouldRedirect = true)	like logout, but uses POST binding
isAuthenticated() : bool	checks if the user is authenticated. This method MUST be called after login and logout to finalize the operation.
getAttributes() : array	If you requested attributes with an attribute consuming service during login, this method will return them in array format

Example

A basic demo application is provided in the example/ directory of this repository.

/example and /tests folders are NOT provided with the production version from packagist, remember to require the dev-develop version or just clone this repository (advised)

To try it out:

Generate a test certificate and key pair with:

openssl req -x509 -nodes -sha256 -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -subj "/C=IT/ST=Italy/L=Milan/O=myservice/CN=localhost" -keyout sp.key -out sp.crt

Adapt the hostname of the SP changing the $base variable in the example/index.php file; the browser you'll be testing from must be able to resolve the FQDN (the default is https://sp.example.com). Using HTTPS is strongly suggested.
Configure and install the test IdP spid-testenv2
Serve the example dir from your preferred webserver
Visit https://sp.example.com/metadata to get the SP metadata, then copy these over to the IdP and register the SP with the IdP
Visit https://idp.example.com/metadata to get the IdP metadata, then save it as example/idp_metadata/testenv.xml to register the IdP with the SP
Visit: https://sp.example.com and click login.

Demo application

A Docker-based demo application is available at https://github.com/simevo/spid-php-lib-example.
