Single Sign On Service for clean website

[Paul Hethmon]

If they can't support being a service provider then Shibboleth and SAML is of no use to you. They must be service providers.

I will install IdP. But my question is about "install an SP on each server hosting a site".

My school's sites are: DSpace , KOHA, Mail Server, Registration Server. And, they are using for last 4-5 years. I am also not sure if DSpace or KOHA or Mail Server will be able to support Service Provider.

Is there any link from where I can learn about configuring metadata exchange of a third party service provider server like our DSpace or KOHA?

Well, roughly, you have to deploy an IdP somewhere (if you mean that
you're running the IdP), install an SP on each server hosting a site,
configure them, and exchange SAML metadata between them.

And then you have to modify the applications to stop doing authentication.
That part is not something that can be described fully without knowing
what they are or what they do. There could be large changes or minimal
ones. There are session management considerations in some cases. It just
depends.
