-# How to test SAML as a developer without a server
-
-https://capriza.github.io/samling/samling.html (https://github.com/capriza/samling) is a great
-resource for being able to tinker with the SAML options within Synapse without needing to
-deploy and configure a complicated software stack.
-
-To make Synapse (and therefore Riot) use it:
-
-1. Use the samling.html URL above or deploy your own and visit the IdP Metadata tab.
-2. Copy the XML to your clipboard.
-3. On your Synapse server, create a new file `samling.xml` next to your `homeserver.yaml` with
-   the XML from step 2 as the contents.
-4. Edit your `homeserver.yaml` to include:
-   ```yaml
-   saml2_config:
-     sp_config:
-       allow_unknown_attributes: true  # Works around a bug with AVA Hashes: https://github.com/IdentityPython/pysaml2/issues/388
-       metadata:
-         local: ["samling.xml"]   
-   ```
-5. Ensure that your `homeserver.yaml` has a setting for `public_baseurl`:
-   ```yaml
-   public_baseurl: http://localhost:8080/
-   ```
-6. Run `apt-get install xmlsec1` and `pip install --upgrade --force 'pysaml2>=4.5.0'` to ensure
-   the dependencies are installed and ready to go.
-7. Restart Synapse.
-
-Then in Riot:
-
-1. Visit the login page with a Riot pointing at your homeserver.
-2. Click the Single Sign-On button.
-3. On the samling page, enter a Name Identifier and add a SAML Attribute for `uid=your_localpart`.
-   The response must also be signed.
-4. Click "Next".
-5. Click "Post Response" (change nothing).
-6. You should be logged in.
-
-If you try and repeat this process, you may be automatically logged in using the information you
-gave previously. To fix this, open your developer console (`F12` or `Ctrl+Shift+I`) while on the
-samling page and clear the site data. In Chrome, this will be a button on the Application tab.
