Are you sure that Moodle supports changing its frontend to Drupal?

In SAML, users are authenticated by the Identity Provider, which uses some 
sort of user database (out of scope of the specification). Drupal and Moodle 
consume SAML assertions about the user. What the integration modules (like 
Drupal shib_auth) do is to register the users based on the information in the 
SAML assertion.

So you need to set up a SAML2 IdP (Shibboleth IdP or SimpleSAMLphp), then you 
need to configure it to use your preferred data source.
