Shibboleth Developers

[David Alexander <>]

We have a lot of applications, mostly CGIs, running on the Tru64 platform. 
We tried unsuccessfully to port the Shib SP software to Tru64.  We ran into 
some problems with the operating system's RPC library.  We also tried the 
Java SP, but the beta version did not make the attributes available to CGIs 
running behind Tomcat.

We recently came up with a potential solution, and we wanted to get some 
feedback as to whether or not it will be feasible.  The idea is to 
configure our Tru64 SP to use a remote shibd running on a linux host. 
mod_shib on the Tru64 host would be connected to the remote shibd using 
stunnel.

Does this sound like it could work?  Are there other potential solutions?

Thanks,
Dave
