Can I use Shibboleth SP on tomcat?

[Richard Eckart de Castilho]

Hello Saurabh,

Tomcat is a Java Servlet container. Web-applications running
in the Servlet container are described with an web.xml file.
Spring security is configured as a filter within that web.xml file.
It is pure-Java and does not require an additional Apache webserver
to be installed. It appears to me that OIOSAML is also configured
in the web.xml file.

If you are the developer of the web-application that you want to run
on the Tomcat or if you are at least ready to patch the web.xml and
drop additional libraries into the webapp, these are options.

However, I get the impression that you intend on deploy a third-party
web application on a Tomcat and are asking if Tomcat itself supports
SAML or of there is some plugin to Tomcat which adds this functionality.
