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

Question

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.

Using Shibboleth as a SAML client in conjunction with Apache web server may be an alternative.
