SSO - missing backends - How do I enable them?

[regis]

Good job figuring out the solution @pdebruic!

tutor doesn’t add it to the list of plugins. Do the plugin install commands need to be run in a special directory that isn’t listed in the tutor plugin creation docs?

No, not really. The plugin needs to be installed in the same virtual environment, if you created one, as the tutor-openedx package. If you downloaded the pre-built tutor binary file then it’s not possible to load external python packages.

This plugin yml file worked

This is really cool! Would you like to publish this, for instance as a github gist? You could add the following configuration entries to make it possible to easily modify the private and public keys:

name: saml
version: 0.1.0
config:
  defaults:
    PRIVATE_KEY: setme
    PUBLIC_CERT: setme
patches:
   ...
  openedx-auth: |
    "SOCIAL_AUTH_SAML_SP_PRIVATE_KEY" : "{{ SAML_PRIVATE_KEY }}"
    "SOCIAL_AUTH_SAML_SP_PUBLIC_CERT" : "{{ SAML_PUBLIC_CERT }}"
