Perl module for SPID authentication

This Perl module is aimed at implementing SPID Service Providers and Attribute Authorities. SPID is the Italian digital identity system, which enables citizens to access all public services with single set of credentials. This module 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. In addition, it will be able to generate the HTML code of the SPID login button and enable developers to implement an Attribute Authority.

This module is not bound to any particular web framework, so you'll have to do some plumbing yourself in order to route protocol messages over HTTP (see the example/ directory for a full working example).

On top of this module, plugins for web frameworks can be developed in order to achieve even more API abstraction. See Dancer2::Plugin::SPID for the well-known Dancer2 framework. A plugin for Mojolicious is in the works.

• Generation of SPID button markup

• example/ contains a demo application based on Dancer2
• lib/Net/SPID.pm contains the source code of the Net::SPID module, which is just a wrapper around Net::SPID::SAML and Net::SPID::OpenID
• t/ contains the test suite

This module should be compatible with Perl 5.10+. Just install it with cpanm and all dependencies will be retrieved automatically:

cpanm Net::SPID

Or, if you want the latest version from git, use:

cpanm https://github.com/italia/spid-perl/archive/master.tar.gz

The example/ directory contains a demo web application. Just follow these steps in order to test it quickly:

1. Run the demo application:

   cd example/
   ./app.pl

2. Connect to http:https://localhost:8000/metadata and grab the metadata of the demo Service Provider.

3. Configure spid-testenv2 and load the above Service Provider metadata into it.

4. Launch http:https://localhost:8000 and enjoy your SPID demo.

See the POD documentation in Net::SPID and the other .pm files or browse it on MetaCPAN.
