Set Up and Install Web Login
Information included on this page will help you set up your Apache or Windows server and install Shibboleth technology for Single Sign-On through Web Login.
Step 1: Set Up Apache or Windows with SSL
Review the list of supported operating systems (Windows or Linux), and then follow these steps to set up Apache or Windows with SSL (HTTPS):
- Shibboleth protected web pages should also be protected with TLS/SSL encrypted connections; for this you need an SSL certificate. Request a certificate using the CMU CA.
Note: Shibboleth utilizes a self-signed certificate internally. This certificate is different from the TLS/SSL web server certificate and is created by Shibboleth software itself. - Follow your operating system's installation instructions to install the certificate received from the Certificate Authority for the web server.
- To obtain an encrypted connection, visit https://HOSTNAME/.
Note: Be sure to use "https" and not "http". You must establish an encrypted connection to your server in order to continue.
