The Shibboleth IdP V3 software has reached its End of Life and is no longer supported. This documentation is available for historical purposes only. See the IDP4 wiki space for current documentation on the supported version.

SVNResourceConfiguration

This is deprecated and will be removed in the V4 release

The resource:SVNResource type allows access to data which is stored in an SVN repository.

Configuring the SVNResource

Licensing constraints mean that the required jars cannot be bundled with the Shibboleth distribution and so, prior to configuring an SVN resource, you need to download the SVNKit jar from into %{idp.home}/edit-webapp/WEB-INF/lib and rebuild and deploy the war file.  

Examples

Load Metadata SVN
<MetadataResource xmlns:resource="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resource" xsi:type="resource:SVNResource"
        resourceFile="entity.xml" 
        repositoryURL="https://svn.example.org/repo/path/to.dir"
        workingCopyDirectory="%{idp.home}/metadata/svn" />

Schema Names and location

The resource: prefix is defined by the  urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:resource schema which can be located at http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-resource.xsd.
