Single Sign On Service for clean website

[Ahsan Jewel]

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?
