How is endpoint hostname generated?

[Nate Klingenstein]

Tataryn,

The Shibboleth SP uses the hostname that is supplied by the web  
server.  The request coming through Apache is indicating two different  
hostnames.  That's likely because the client is specifying different  
hostnames in intranet or extranet requests, and UseCanonicalName is  
Off, so Apache just dutifully relays those hostnames from the web  
browser to the SP.  The SP then uses them to build redirects.

You can tell Apache to force the hostname to the name defined in your  
ServerName directive by adding a UseCanonicalName On directive.

Take care,
Nate.
