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.
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.
