Configuring Salesforce for Shibboleth IdP (newbie)

> Also, how would go about (on CentOS 6.3), creating an " Identity Provider Certificate" that Salesforce requires?



Our IdP has two certificates - one is the behind the scenes one it creates itself, when you install it (and I think lasts for 20 years).

There is, however, also one that Apache uses purely for the https:// website - we get those via IT from their provider and just update the file in the apache config. I have heard of places that use this 'public' certificate for the behind the scenes (Idp-SP) channel as well.



Having recently deployed an SP, I'm guessing Salesforce requires your IdP's 'metadata'/signature - the installer generates it automatically (on our IdP, it's in /opt/shibboleth-idp/metadata/idp-metadata.xml). This is based on the behind the scenes certificate I mentioned above.

Hope that helps.
