Shibboleth Authentication in Symfony 2.8+|3.0+

Preface We recently had the opportunity to work on a Symfony app for one of our Higher Ed clients that we recently built a Drupal distribution for.

Divide & Conquer: Drupal 7, Symfony, Elasticsearch, and AngularJS - Part 1

It isn't just about Drupal here at ActiveLAMP -- when the right project comes along that diverges from the usual demands of content management, we get to use other cool technologies to satisfy more exotic requirements.
