The <UnixListener> element provides a remoting layer based on a Unix domain socket, and is recommended for use on all non-Windows platforms.

Version 2.4 and above default to this option when the element is omitted on non-Windows platforms.

<UnixListener address="shibd.sock"/>

Attributes

  • address (local pathname) (defaults to shibd.sock on 2.4+)
    • Pathname to use for the Unix domain socket. All Shibboleth processes need to be able to read and write to this path.
  • stackSize (size in kilobytes) (defaults to 0) (Version 2.4 and Above)
    • If non-zero, sets the stack size of worker threads in kilobytes. Zero results in the default OS-supplied size being used.
  • clientAddress (local pathname) (Version 2.6 and Above)
    • If set, this overrides the address attribute for the "in-process" half of the system (web server modules).
