I want to restrict access to some static content, served using nginx, using an existing SAML 2.0 IdP. (In Apache, this would be done with a module such as mod_mellon or mod_auth_saml)

What is the best way to use SAML authentication for static content on nginx? If it is still the use of X-Accel headers, is there a helper script out there to proxy from a SAML authentication or do I need to start from scratch for this?

Someone or the shib project has a free SSO dynamic module for nginx.

You can try auth-request module as mentioned : SSO with Nginx

It's 2017 now and there is still no module in nginx, no matter free or paid, to get SAML authentication.

I wouldn't expect it to be available anytime soon, considering it's been missing for almost a decade.
