Shibboleth idp install Help

[Mark Gibson]

Sorry about taking so long in responding. I have been working on getting this to run. Here is my issue that I keep running into. I follow these steps.

1. Install JDK software
2. Set Path for JDK Software
3. Install Tomcat
4. Verify Tomcat Access on port 8080.
5. Add in the 443 and 8443 connectors to server.xml file.
6. Install Shibboleth software
7. Test system using https://localhost/idp/status.

The last step is where I am running into issues. I run a netstat to verify that port 443 is running and it is. I have verified that the OS firewall is allowing the connection through. I have also checked my main firewall to make sure that port 443 is open to the server. I am trying this on the Windows VM that you can download to see if there was something I have been missing and I get the same issue.

That doesn't help explain why those didn't help. Also given that it's Java much if of the installation is not specific to Shibboleth at all. And learning how to install Java and a Java servlet container is much more general, is widely documentet and hence not tied in any way to the Shibboleth documentation or project.
So the RHEL5 specific part is probably
  yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk tomcat6 then decide how to serve port 443 without runing the whole JVM as root (I have an authbind SRPM in the works, but not done yet; the Shib wiki documents how to use iptables for this), set up Tomcat as TLS-enabled webserver as per Tomcat's documentation and then install Shib as per Shibboleth documentation.
So there's more or less no relation between the Shibboleth IDP and RHEL5.
If you have questions (e.g. about the things I mentioned above) or get stuck in following the documentation feel free to ask here.

Personally I wouldn't install a new machine (or create a new service) basedon RHEL5, though, with RHEL6 in its 6th or 7th iteration and
RHEL7 around the corner.
