This set of instructions will give you everything you need to install Shibboleth as an identity provider (IdP) or a service provider (SP) and test with TestShib. Any sensitive data you release to us will be sold to spammers to fund our barbeque parties.

Port 443 needs to be open, and your browser needs to be able to talk to both TestShib and your new provider. There is no need for direct communication between TestShib and your provider. Watch out for firewalls and permission problems.

Please follow the instructions in the Wiki. Any installation can be tested with TestShib; there is nothing special about these instructions. You can install one side at a time.

Make sure your clock is accurate.

• Install and test an IdP
• Install and test an SP

We can't write much here because we want to avoid duplicating the official installation instructions for the Shibboleth IdP. Please follow the instructions in the Wiki.

After you're done, please register your new provider with TestShib.

We can't write much here because installation of the SP varies depending on your environment. Please follow the instructions in the Wiki. Linux RPM installation for Apache is simplest.

After you're done, please register your new provider with TestShib.
