Shibboleth and apache rewrite

[Luo, Pan]

I did a system update on RHEL 6 and shibboleth was also updated to 2.5.2. Then it breaks the shibboleth. I did some troubleshooting, it seems Shibboleth.sso is not being handled by shibboleth anymore. I have the following settings in .htacess at the web root:

AuthType shibboleth
ShibRequireSession Off
ShibUseHeaders On
require shibboleth

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine On

    #<IfModule mod_vhost_alias.c>
    #    RewriteBase /
    #</IfModule>

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]

</IfModule>

If I comment out the rewrite, shib works fine(my app doesn't). So I think rewrite is taking over shib request. However, I though mod_shib has higher priority and this setting was working before the upgrade. Any advice? Thanks!

Cheers,
Pan
