Summary

The following steps should be followed to migrate a Shibboleth service provider (web server application) from Shibboleth 1.3 to 2.x:

Back up old configuration files

If you install from RPM (strongly recommended), the configuration files, error pages, certificates, etc., in the $PREFIX/etc/shibboleth directory should be saved when you install the Shibboleth 2 SP RPMs. But we still recommend making a copy of the /etc/shibboleth directory for safety. You should also save a copy of the shibd init script (/etc/rc.d/init.d/shibd).

Install Shibboleth SP 2.x

We strongly recommend that you download and install the 2.x SP RPMs from the Internet2 downloads site. It is not necessary to download the -debuginfo, -devel, or -docs RPMs.

Configure the SP software

The quickest way to get started is to copy the following files from the Touchstone locker (/mit/touchstone/config/shibboleth2-sp) into /etc/shibboleth:

  • attribute-map.xml
  • gen-shib2.sh
  • shibboleth2.xml.in

Then run the gen-shib2.sh script, and answer the prompts, to generate shibboleth2.xml. For example:

# cd /etc/shibboleth
# cp /mit/touchstone/config/shibboleth2-sp/* .
# sh gen-shib2.sh
