The Shibboleth SP installer will install a set of Apache modules for each major version. It will also install the standalone Shibboleth daemon, shibd
. Actual integration with Apache is a simple, but manual, process.
.msi
Shibboleth SP installer from the Shibboleth download site.shibd
service can also be installed.The versions of Apache available from the http://www.apachelounge.com/ web site are known to work with the modules that come with the Windows version of Shibboleth, specifically the Apache 2.x packages built with VC10. Do NOT use the VC11 version, which is the more prominent build they offer, as it uses a newer library runtime set that is not compatible with the Shibboleth software as delivered.
Other versions might work, but they also might not work. Versions with significantly altered header files, such as IBM's or Oracle's will definitely not work unless you build the Shibboleth module from source.
Officially, we support only Apache installations that are binary compatible with the versions from the ApacheLounge site and are not EOL (end of life). Modules for older versions (Apache 1.3 and 2.0) are currently still included, but are not officially supported.
