SAML 2.0

SP-initiated and IdP-initiated flows with Shibboleth IdP. Configurable NameID format, signed and encrypted assertions, and per-connection metadata endpoints.

Federation ready

Compatible with InCommon, eduGAIN, and institutional federation metadata. Works with higher education and research identity federations worldwide.

Auto-provisioning

Create Thinkific learner accounts on first Shibboleth login. Handle eduPerson attributes and update profiles on every authenticated session.

eduPerson attribute mapping

Map eduPersonPrincipalName, eduPersonTargetedID, eduPersonEntitlement, and OID/MACE-Dir attributes to Thinkific user fields and custom profiles.

Flexible NameID

Supports persistent, transient, email, and unspecified NameID formats. Falls back to email if NameID is absent — essential for certain Shibboleth deployments.

Multi-tenant

Configure separate Shibboleth IdP connections for different Thinkific sites, business units, or research institutions from one WooNinja SSO installation.
