SimpleSAMLphp 2.0 reshuffled its layout and the docs still described 1.x, so the example config could not be followed end to end.

  • NGINX alias points at public/ rather than www/, per the simplesamlphp_auth change record https://www.drupal.org/project/simplesamlphp_auth/issues/3340606
  • Config and metadata templates now live in config/ and metadata/ as .dist files; config-templates/ and metadata-templates/ no longer exist
  • Add store.sql.username and store.sql.password, without which the SQL session store cannot authenticate against MariaDB
  • Set secretsalt, which SimpleSAMLphp requires to be changed from its default
  • Name auth.adminpassword and bin/pwgen.php in the dashboard bullet

Also fixes a stray space that broke the alias path in the Japanese doc.
