Is there a possibility to verify login+password in Perl via SAML at an Identity Provider (IdP)? If yes: how?

I am aware that this is not the usual way for SAML to work.

The background to this is that we have 4 different clients for our web application, which is supposed to enable a central password via SAML, which are implemented in completely different technologies.

Our product manager has decided that a SAML connection is too complex for the 4 clients and that authentication should therefore take place centrally in the web application.

The clients transfer login and password to the web application, just like without SSO, and the web application is supposed to verify the access data centrally.
