When I request http://mywebsite.com/simplesaml/, I get 403 Forbidden.
I put www-data as ownership of simplesamlphp folder as Nginx is running

See my below my site config in Nginx:

I put simplesalphp.conf in nginx root directory as advised in this post https://github.com/perusio/drupal-with-nginx/issues/232

location ^~ /simplesaml {

Hi, did you get anywhere with this?

I got past the 403 but now it's returning 'File not found', when i look in the logs it's going something odd with the file path lookup:

FastCGI sent in stderr: "Unable to open primary script: /[path to root]/vendor/simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp/wwwphp/module.php

For some reason its adding 'php' before the file ( php/module.php ). I can't seem to figure out where that extra php is coming from. Here is the relevant location block:

location /simplesaml {
                alias /[path to root]/vendor/simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp/www;
                location ~ ^(?<prefix>/simplesaml)(?<phpfile>.+?\.php)(?<pathinfo>/.*)?$ {
                        include fastcgi_params;
                        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;

                        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.+)$;
                        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$phpfile;
                        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $pathinfo if_not_empty;
                }

        }

Nevermind, it was a simple mistake, it was looking for simplesaml instead of simplesamlphp
