Hi,
I am testing out authentication and access control in shibboleth by
modifying shib.conf file. I have created a new location called "staff"
which should only be accessed by the "computer" organizational unit.
Given below is my configuration in shib.conf file.
#
# Configure the module for content.
#
# You MUST enable AuthType shibboleth for the module to process
# any requests, and there MUST be a require command as well. To
# enable Shibboleth but not specify any session/access requirements
# use "require shibboleth".
#
<Location /secure>
AuthType shibboleth
ShibRequestSetting requireSession 1
require valid-user
</Location>
<Location /staff>
AuthType shibboleth
ShibRequestSetting requireSession 1
require organizationalUnit computer
</Location>
I have created a test user "staff" with organizationalUnitName
"computer" in the LDAP.But when trying to access this location I am
getting the following error.
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /staff/ on this server.

Could anyone provide me some insight in to what I am doing wrong here.
BR,
