The Shibboleth IdP V4 software has reached its End of Life and is no longer supported. This documentation is available for historical purposes only. See the IDP5 wiki space for current documentation on the supported version.

PropertyDrivenInstallation

The installation process can be controlled by setting properties on the command line.   These are detailed below.

In general, only the "usual" properties are of interest.  The advanced properties are listed for completeness and are like to be useful mostly to people writing installation  packages (for instance Federation Operators).  

The best & definitive documentation for these properties is the code itself.

In V5 this will continue to work, but please track the V5 IdP Installer page for potential changes
