Around line 391 of init.php we check if site is closed for
upgrade/maintenance mode and if so we logout the user and redirect them
to homepage if not doing install/upgrade.

Where we check $USER->is_logged_in() on line 396 we could also check if
the auth instance is an external vs internal auth type and reply with
the correct HTTP response and/or json object saying access is not
available if external auth type before logging them out and redirecting
to hompage.

Title:
  SAML metadata page shouldn't redirect to main page when a site is in
  maintenance mode

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  SAML metadata page  /auth/saml/sp/metadata.php shouldn't redirect to
  main page when a site is in maintenance mode. Ideally, it should send
  503 HTTP response to let systems who read the metadata know, that the
  file is not accessible.
