SAML SocialLink doesn't work

[mheisig]

I have a SAML directory and the LoginForm will recognize that and generate a SAML link. Clicking the link just goes to a /false route, however.

Hi @mheisig , thanks for flagging this. I'll ping our team to take a look at this.

@mheisig Unfortunately SAML isn't currently supported and there's no workaround for this in the SDK. So I just created issue #145 for this. So my recommendation is that you watch this issue until it's closed, since the SDK will have SAML support then.

Thanks, @typerandom. Will it be possible for me to manually support this myself if I:

1. Generate the JWT accessToken myself on the server
2. Initiate the SAML auth flow via the Stormpath SAML SSO Initiation Endpoint URL
3. Handle the response JWT on my server

Hi @mheisig , it certainly is possible to implement this manually. Steps 2 and 3 of your comment are correct, I'm not sure what you mean in step 1?

It may be helpful to look at how we're implementing this in our express-stormpath library:

stormpath/express-stormpath#557

Let us know if you have more questions, thanks!
