Shibboleth
This installs the same files as the OpenSAML Merge module and in addition:
- Installs
shibsp.dllandshibsplite.dll(and debug). NOTE that the version is NOT the same as the current shibboleth major version. - A third (architecture independent) merge module installed the schema files and catalog to
PATH\xml\shibboleth
...
- Looks up previous installs (so as to deny incompatible upgrades) using the same mechanism as the old installers
- Looks up (in the 32 bit registry) and, if we are installing the IIS filter, stores (in both registries) the SSO extension
- Sets up the icon for the Add/Remove Programs window
- Looks up any parameters passed to initial install (if there was one). A very few of these are used to allow for seamless upgrade. The rest are there for historic interest.
- Looks to see whether the Shibd_default service is installed. This is used during an upgrade to control whether to restart the service.
- In addition, the IISMAJORVERSION p[roperty (available via the WiX plugin library) is interrogated.
3. Executables
These are all installed in a series of directories under a user chosen directory (default \opt\shibboleth-sp
...
doc\shibboleth:main.cssand the same license related files as the Shibboleth merge moduleetc\shibboleth:upgrade.xsl, example-metadata.xml, examples-shibboleth2.xml. These are uninstallable because that’s what the old one did. Also ,keygen.batandxsltproc.js(uninstallable. These are un-installable but will be updated (if the file versioning rules allow)etc\shibboleth\dist: A whole bunch of files (some uninstallable some not)These are all un-installable and will be updated. See below for how these files are then handled.var\log,var\runare both created.
5. Installing and editing configuration. Logging
- Editing the config files.
- The same process as currently (note that some of the editing will be moved to the merge modules in order to get the catalogs located correctly)
- This work process will always be done (be run on installs and on upgrades, but the edit code is sensitive to not overwriting these files). Thus files can be via this mechanism on upgrades.
- The files create created are never unstalled (should they be?)un-installed.
- Editing IIS. This will be roughly the same as currently but
- The dialog is not offered if IIS is not installed, nor is any other work scheduled.
- Architecture sensitibe sensitive DLLs for the x64 version
- The install the dlls dance will only be called if we know this is a from fresh install
- The uninstall will only be called if we know this is a not an upgrade
- Edit the Service (x64 only)
- The service is declared (because it has to be done there) with the 32 bit install of shibd.
- IFF we are doing the first install and the user has specified x64, then the path to shibd is changed to point at the x64 prior to the service being started.
- The Service is only declared if specified by INSTALL_SHIBD_FILTER and this is detected as a first time install (not an upgrade)
- The Service is only removed if this is detected as a last uninstall (not an upgrade)
- Environment Variables
- Add the lib direcrtory(s) that the merge modules installed into into the path
- Add (currently via javascript) SHIBSP_PREFIX to point to the shib install dir
- Logging
- The VBScript do some minimal logging to
path\var\log\Installer.log
- The VBScript do some minimal logging to
6. The GUI (and not) & command files
The GUI is integrated into the WiX standard GUI so only two dialogs (instal and update) are used. The plumbing was derived from analaysis of the standard GUI
...
dunno -
based WiX installs.
The new install dialog's job is to set the following properties which are then passed to the installer.
- INSTALLDIR (default {c:\opt\shibboleth-sp}} - where to install Shibboleth
- SHIB_FILE_EXTENSION (default ".sso") - the extension to register (for IIS)
- INSTALL_ISAPI_FILTER (default "TRUE") - whether to register with IIS
- INSTALL_SHIBD_SERVICE (default "TRUE") - whether to register the service
- INSTALL_32BIT (tbd) - whether to register 32 or 64 bit service (and IIS plugins)
If an upgrade is sensed then these values are filled in from a mixture of values stored in the registry (like OLD_INSTALLDIR), whenther the service is installed and so on.
Note that these properties can be passed to the installer in no gui mode:
| Code Block |
|---|
msiexec /qn /i ShibboltherSP-x64.msi INSTALLDIR=d:\Path\MorePath SHIBD_PORT
|
Command files shipped with the installer include:
keygen
As currently, this generates the LLSS certificate key pair.
SetService64 (x64 install only)
This stops the shibd, sets the path such that from now on the 64 bit version of shibd is run and then restarts shibs
SetService32 (x64 install only)
This stops the shibd, sets the path such that from now on the 32 bit service of shibd is run and then restarts shibs
7. Versioning
All version information (and some other global configuration) is contained in the header file Versions.wxi
It is an assumption that all DLLs have versioning information encoded in the name such that a change of API will cause the DLL name to change. If the DLL name changes then it is vital that the associated component GUID change as well.
...
In addition the 32 bit installer detects if it being installed on a 64 bit machine and refuses, instead recommending the 64 bit installer in 32 bit mode.
