IS&T currently supports new customers intending to use Shibboleth 2.x. New installations must use Shibboleth 2.x based SPs.

Warning
titleAttention

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

We strongly recommend that any sites still running Shibboleth 1.3 in production plan to upgrade to the current version of Shibboleth as soon as possible. This will protect against the possibility of a forced but unplanned migration from 1.3 should a security issue or incompatibility be discovered.

Tip

Information about migrating an existing Shibboleth SP 1.3x installation to version 2.x can be found at

Tip

The most current native packages and installers for the Service Provider software for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Windows platforms can always be found at the Shibboleth download site. Generally you should download the latest version of the SP software for your platform.

For RHEL serversinstallations, you should use the Shibboleth service's yum repository; please see https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NativeSPLinuxRPMInstall for details.

For Windows installations, please see https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NativeSPWindowsInstall for more information.

Some other Linux distributions also maintain binary installers available from the OS distribution point. For Debian/Ubuntu, please install the libapache2-mod-shib2 package with apt-get or other package manager. If you have questions about other distributions please contact touchstone-support and indicate what operating distribution and version you are using.
