IS&T is currently supporting customers intending to use Shibboleth 1.3x or 2.x. We recommend that new installations use Shibboleth 2.x based SPs.

Warning
titleAttention

As of June 30, 2010, the Internet2 Shibboleth development team will no longer promise to supply security updates for version 1.3x. The 1.3x version will be considered end of life.

We strongly recommend that sites currently running Shibboleth 1.3 in production plan to upgrade to the current version of Shibboleth well in advance of the announced end-of-life date. This will protect against the possibility of a forced but unplanned migration from 1.3 should a security issue or incompatibility be discovered after the end-of-life date has been reached.

Tip

Information about migrating an existing Shibboleth SP 1.3x installation to version 2.x can be found at
https://wikis-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/confluence/display/TOUCHSTONE/Migrating+a+Shibboleth+1.3+SP+to+2.x

Tip

The most current installers from Internet2 can always be found at http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/downloads.html

The link provided above should be used if you are installing a 2.x Service Provider (SP).

Info

Historical installers:

Please note that we strongly recommend that no new systems be created using Shibboleth 1.3x. This software will reach its end of life on June 30th, 2010. At that time, security updates for the software will no longer be created. If you still have some need to obtain the 1.3x packages, for now they can still be obtained from Internet 2.

1.3x RPMs remain available from Internet2 for RHEL 4 and 5.

You will typically need the 5 main RPMs: log4shib, opensaml, shibboleth, xerces-c, xml-security-c.
You should normally skip the -devol, -debug, and -doc RPMs from the Internet2 RPM download site.
If your system does not already have curl installed, you will need to install it (via the stock RHEL RPM).

A 1.3x installer for IIS is also available from Internet2.

Some other Linux distributions also maintain binary installers available from the OS distribution point. If you have questions about other distributions please contact touchstone-support and indicate what operating distribution and version you are using.
