Shibboleth apache configuration

  • shib.conf: Apache Shibboleth configuration. Add the following directive
  • <LocationMatch ^/[^webwork2_files|^webwork2_course_files]>
      AuthType shibboleth
      ShibRequestSetting requireSession 1
      require valid-user
    </LocationMatch>
    

    When we put in the above we get a redirect loop after logging into shibboleth. We use this instead that seems to work better:

    <Location /webwork2>
      AuthType shibboleth
      ShibRequireSession Off
      ShibUseHeaders On
      require shibboleth
    </Location>
    

    There could be an issue with the paths but it is hard to tell. Anyone else run into the redirect loop? Sorry for putting this here I wasn't sure where to put the comment --Daniel Mundra 19:50, 28 March 2014 (EDT)
