Shibboleth is a freely available, open-source SAML software package for Web single sign-on across or within organizational boundaries. It allows Web sites to make informed authorization decisions regarding user access to protected online resources in a privacy-preserving manner. Shibboleth was developed through the Internet2 initiative. This article describes how to implement a Shibboleth Identity Provider (IDP) and Service Provider (SP) for use in a GFIPM federation.
Known Issues
The Shibboleth SP is typically installed on the Tomcat application server [Tomcat], which may be running behind the Apache httpd Web server. A connector is required to connect Apache and Tomcat.
