Is there a way to provide SAML sp implementation using an Apache filter?

apache2 single-sign-on saml-2.0 service-provider

I'm really new with SAML SSO. I'm woking with an idp webapp that will support SAML authentication.

The problem is that I will need that other sp authenticate with my idp and I don't want to implement all the protocol in every platform (Python, PHP, Java, etc).

I was thinking if there's a way to implement the sp authentication flow using an apache filter.

Has someone thought about this?

Thanks.
