clarify comments in /etc/httpd/conf.d/shib.conf
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: SSPCPP-386
                 URL: https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/SSPCPP-386
             Project: Shibboleth SP - C++
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build
    Affects Versions: 2.4.3
         Environment: RHEL 6
            Reporter: Jonathan Smith
            Assignee: Scott Cantor
            Priority: Minor


There are two changes which should be made in /etc/httpd/conf.d/shib.conf:

1) https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/SHIB2/NativeSPApacheConfig no longer returns a useful page. It should be updated to https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NativeSPApacheConfig

2) This section should be clarified:

# RPM installations on platforms with a conf.d directory will
# result in this file being copied into that directory for you
# and preserved across upgrades.

Scott Cantor clarified in email that not marking shib.conf as "noreplace" is intentional. The full implications of that choice are not explained in the comment above. I'd suggest something like:

# RPM installations on platforms with a conf.d directory will
# result in this file being copied into that directory for you.
# The file will be overwritten during upgrades. As a result,
# you should place your local changes elsewhere!
