titleApache 2.4 Support

Working support for Apache 2.4 requires V2.5.1 or later of the Shibboleth SP software, so be sure you check that first. The support in V2.5.0 turned out to be buggy and will not work properly.

You should also review this page and the NativeSPhtaccess page thoroughly because Apache 2.4 is much more complicated than earlier versions. In particular, if you're trying to combine Shibboleth with other authentication schemes (like Basic), you may need to enable theĀ ShibCompatValidUser option, documented below.

Half of Shibboleth runs within the web server. For Apache, this half is implemented in a module called mod_shib_13.so, mod_shib_20.so, mod_shib_22.so, or mod_shib_24.so depending on the Apache version. Like all Apache modules, the initial configuration is controlled with Apache's configuration file(s), but one of the primary options there (normally implicit/defaulted) is to point the module at the overall SP configuration file (shibboleth2.xml) where a lot of the options not specific to Apache are controlled.
