single sign on - What is Shib Daemon used for? -
i new saml world. installed shibboleth sp , idp, , made them work each other. trying understand how works under hood.
the question is: when install sp apache on windows, can choose whether install shib daemon or not. can tells me used for? optional make sp work?
i have tried google , searched old posts, cannot find details. understand shib sp module runs on apache(for install), , responsible for:
setting trust connection idp
handle request browser, , redirect idp
handle response idp , redirect user's real application page.
it seems me shib daemon not involved in these works. did miss or misunderstood anything?
thanks much!
i can explain how works on linux shibd , apache, , think similar way works on windows.
the shibd process processes of saml 2.0 assertions. assertions received apache, there mod_shibd module apache talks shibd process. allows shibd daemon not reside in same process space apache. thus, need shib daemon installed, , need apache , mod_shibd module installed apache can communicate shib daemon provide saml web sso.
