Shibboleth configuration information is stored in a variety of locations. This guide treats configuration information by topic, grouping information from all configuration files. Conceptual explanations are given for instances where deployment-specific decisions must be made. The primary configuration locations are:

  • idp.xml -- primary Shibboleth configuration information;
  • httpd.conf and ssl.conf -- SSL, authentication and port configuration; may be split into other files, depending on Apache installation;
  • metadata.xml -- Trust lists for roots and sites for SSL, attribute release, signed assertions, and more; may be provided by a federation;
  • resolver.xml -- Attribute sources, definitions, naming, and resolution;
  • /conf/arps/ -- directory containing attribute release policies;

Secondary configuration for other tasks may be encountered at:

  • workers2.properties or workers.properties -- the URL's for the Shibboleth servlets and protection information;
  • server.xml -- Tomcat settings, including ports, logging, etc.
  • log4j.properties -- Logging and auditing configuration information if flat-file logging is not used.
