openSUSE 12.1 now uses systemd
------------------------------

                 Key: SSPCPP-412
                 URL: https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/SSPCPP-412
             Project: Shibboleth SP - C++
          Issue Type: Task
      Security Level: Standard (Standard bug, may impact functionality but does not represent a security vulnerability )
          Components: Installation / Packaging
    Affects Versions: 2.4.3
         Environment: openSUSE Linux 12.1
            Reporter: mgk25 at cam.ac.uk
            Assignee: Scott Cantor
            Priority: Minor


openSUSE Linux 12.1 changed (compared to openSUSE 11.4) from using the traditional SysV init startup scripts to using systemd.

There is now a warning

# systemctl enable shibd.service
shibd.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig.
Executing /sbin/chkconfig shibd on
Warning: unit files do not carry install information. No operation executed.

which suggests that some systemd-related metadata should be provided for smoothest admin experience.

However shibd still does get started at boot (once SSPCPP-411 is fixed), so this may be more a cosmetic issue for now. In any case, openSUSE 12.1 admins can still switch back to SysV init, and there is a lot of backwards-compatibility mechanics in place.
