# SimpleSAMLphp base directory Missing Error

 * For single sign-on, we use the WP SAML AUTH plugin version 2.2.0. Additionally,
   we are using the bundled OneLogin SAML library, but each time a page loads, the
   log file displays the following error.
 *  **SimpleSAMLphp base directory does not exist:**
 * Installing the SimpleSAMLphp library is necessary in order to use OneLogin. Please
   assist us in stopping this needless logging.

 * Thanks for reporting [@meenasekar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meenasekar/).
   Can you confirm whether the notice is appearing in the _admin_ or just the logs?
   We will work on fixing the issue in the plugin.
