Description

Provide a clear and concise description of the issue, including what you expected to happen.

There has been a request to update the node-saml dependency to its current version. issue. I has submitted a PR for this, but the CI is failing. See here. The failure is due to another Auth0 dependency, xml-encryption. This dependency uses default argument values, which are not supported until Node 6. The backwards compatibility checks for this repository checks from Node v4.8.5 onward. The backwards compatibility checks for the xml-encryption repository checks from Node 8 onward.

Since this organization own the node-saml, node-samlp and xml-encryption repository and the node-samlp project utilizes both the node-saml and xml-encryption dependency, it would be helpful for them to have the same backwards compatibility standards, so all repositories can utilize the latest version of each dependency.

Hi @lukemarkwordtlibertyits - as mentioned on the PR comment, the CI for this repo has been switched to GH Actions, and older node versions have been removed from those builds.

Thanks again for your suggestions - hopefully these changes make contributions easier.
