Software Installation

• Tomcat: You are most likely already running Shrine, and so Tomcat is already installed. If you followed the instructions for installing Shrine you are running version 9.0.52 (as per SHRINE 4.0.0 Chapter 5 - Set up Apache Tomcat.)
  • The Tomcat home should be /opt/shrine/tomcat
• Apache: version 2.4.10 or higher
  • The Apache configuration files should be in /etc/httpd/
  • The Apache document root should be /var/www/html (specified in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf)
• Shibboleth SP version 3
  • The Shibboleth configuration files should be in /etc/shibboleth

Installation Layout

The following instructions assume that (1) you are using Tomcat as your application server, and (2) Apache and Tomcat are running on the same host. Shibboleth SP software runs as an apache module + daemon.

For our own local installation the following layout is used:

/opt/shrine/tomcat ← Tomcat home

/etc/shibboleth ← Shibboleth configuration files

/etc/httpd/* ← Apache configuration files

/var/www/html ← Apache static content as set in, for instance, /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Sample configuration files

They can be found in the Git repository in the shrine-setup module, specifically at shrine-setup/src/main/resources/sso
