Shibboleth Developers

["Howard Gilbert" <>]

[the real beta will have some changes and will be pre-checked out. This is how to build it from scratch]

 

Install Java and Tomcat. Start with a clean Tomcat webapps.

Install a certificate in Tomcat and configure an https listener on port 9443.

Check out the HEAD from the CVS.

 

Edit build.xml to change the "install" (IdP) target to "installx" (SP) and the "installx" target to "install".

Run "ant install" and answer the questions just like you do with the IdP.

 

Now go to the place you put the Home directory, typically /usr/local/shibboleth-sp/etc and edit "sp.xml". Change all occurrences of an as yet to be decided token (that for now is "cyrk.cis.yale.edu" which is the name of my machine) to the name of the machine on which you are installing the SP. The one value that will not work is the old value of "sp.example.org" or other stuff in example.org because IQ thinks it knows that Entity. It helps if the Tomcat certificate matches the name or you will get a certificate name mismatch popup from the browser.

 

Start Tomcat

 

Launch a browser and navigate to "https://[your machine name]:9443/secure/test.jsp". You will be redirected to IQ and logon to demo/demo at Example State. You get the JSP output and some favorable log messages showing that things worked.

 

[Details subject to discussion, along with the question of whether the last checkName fix was the right thing to do, but this is basically the Beta.]
