Pull request overview
This pull request replaces the lua-resty-cookie library with lua-resty-session for session management in the SAML authentication library. This represents a significant architectural change from server-side session storage (using nginx shared dictionaries) to client-side encrypted cookie-based sessions.
Changes:
- Replaced lua-resty-cookie dependency with lua-resty-session in rockspecs
- Refactored session management from shared dictionary + cookies to encrypted session cookies
- Removed lua_shared_dict configuration requirement from tests
- Updated tests to validate cookie attributes for both HTTP-Redirect and HTTP-POST bindings
