• Shibboleth configuration files will be placed at /etc/shibboleth/ and the necessary Apache configuration in /etc/httpd/conf.d/shib.conf
• shibd will be installed to /usr/sbin and may be managed using service and chkconfig (on System V platforms) or with systemctl (on systemd platforms, some additional information available)

• An appropriate version of mod_shib and other pluggable modules will be installed to /usr/lib/shibboleth/ on a 32-bit OS and /usr/lib64/shibboleth on a 64-bit OS

• Logs will be located in /var/log/httpd/native.log and /var/log/shibboleth

Basic Configuration

1. In httpd.conf:
   
   • Use of the <RequestMap> feature is not recommended for use with Apache, but its use requires that the UseCanonicalName directive be set.
   • Ensure that the ServerName directive is properly set, and that Apache is being started with SSL enabled.
2. Restart Apache.

3. /usr/sbin/shibd must be independently started and run in order to handle requests. The daemon should be loaded and monitored along with all other major services.
