The native Shibboleth SP is available for Windows with modules for all the supported web servers. There is an installer available that works fairly well most of the time.The following versions of Windows are supportedfor supported Windows versions:
- Windows XP SP2 and Later
- Windows 2003 Server SP1 and Later
- Windows 2008 Server
Earlier Windows and Service Pack versions are not supported as of V2.4. Since earlier versions of the SP are no longer safe to use due to security issues, we do not recommend using them to obtain compatibility with older Windows versions.
| Tip |
|---|
It Prior to V2.5, it is recommended that you install the software to C:\opt\shibboleth-sp if possible. The installer may not default to this drive letter. |
| Note |

The installer does not work fully in conjunction with the IIS "Shared Configuration" option available on newer releases of IIS. Disable it prior to installation. After re-enabling it, you will likely have to manually apply some of the configuration changes; refer to the appropriate topic below. |
As of V2.5 (currently beta only, not a supported release), the Windows installation has been revamped significantly to support enhanced operation and ease of patching and upgrades:
- You may now install the SP to any location you wish, rather than being forced to use C:\opt\shibboleth-sp (though this is still recommended for consistency).
- Most shared components are now installed to Program Files\Shibboleth and ProgramData\Shibboleth. Most files deployers are familiar with remain in the same relative locations, so these changes should be mostly invisible to you.
- The 64-bit install now contains both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries and you can switch architectures after installation (but not run both at the same time). When using a 64-bit OS, you MUST use the 64-bit installer now; the 32-bit installer will refuse to run to ensure this.
- There will no longer be any post-installation ZIP package for upgrades or patches. New installation packages will be used for all patching and upgrades.
