idP install - do you need Apache AND Tomcat...or just Tomcat?

[Nate Klingenstein]

Generally you only need or want Tomcat.  You can use Apache in addition to Tomcat if you have a use case that makes it important to do so.

IIS will not be necessary.  The quick start should have generated certificates for you that will suffice for IdP-to-SP configuration.  For web-facing stuff like user authentication, you will need a "commercial" certificate, but you can acquire that however you want and configure that directly into Tomcat without touching Shibboleth.

I've used the idP quick install .msi file, and I get the basic "Congratulations..." screen, but I'm wondering if I also need to install Apache for Windows in order to have a sucessful idP server or is Tomcat all I need?

Also, will the server need to have IIS in order to generate a CSR, which I *will* need, won't I?...since I need to buy a certificate?
