Hi Scott,

to understand you right, do you have the following scenario in mind?

1. Access to
https://gateway.net/Shibboleth.sso/Metadata,DanaInfo=sp.intra.net,SSL
from outside intranet
2. Apache on SP is contacted by the gateway under the intranet IP and
hostname
3. Although hostname is sp.intra.net, shibd should think hostname is
gateway.net and generate proper ACS URL

For this to work, I configured an ACS Location of
"/SAML/POST/,DanaInfo=sp.intra.net,SSL" and tried almost every possible
Apache configuration I can think of, but it always boils down to the SP
generating this ACS URL:
https://sp.intra.net/Shibboleth.sso/Metadata,DanaInfo=sp.intra.net,SSL .
And this is what the SP is telling to the IdP in the AuthNRequest as
well, but it is not the URL it can be reached from outside.

So I'm really stuck with point 3. I tried various combinations of
NameVirtualHost, VirtualHost, ServerName, ServerAlias, and some rewrite
rules. If it is doable with Apache config, could you please point me
further into the direction you are proposing? And, did I miss anything
to do to Shibboleth config?

Thanks,
Martin
