[Bug 1744797] [NEW] SAML plugin not working correctly with SimpleSamlPhp 1.15

 

Public bug reported:

There are couple of problems

1) Plugin stop working and shows this error
 [SimpleSAML_Error_UnserializableException]: [ARRAY]: The option 'Format' is not a valid string value

We used to set 'NameIDPolicy' to NULL, but we just need to not set this
option any more

2) The POST redirect to the IdP requires a special post.js file that
exists in the extlib 'resources' section - we need to copy this to our
sp section so the file can be accessed
