Question about installing Shibboleth idp on ubuntu server

[Yasser Afifi]

Hello,

Thanks to your great help I managed to install Shib idp and SP on windows
machine, they working fine. Now i am trying to deploy them on an Ubuntu
server.
1- I downloaded Shib IDP and unzipped it to  /opt/shibboleth-idp
2- i installed tomcat 8, and created idp.xml with the following contents:

<Context docBase="/opt/shibboleth-idp/war/idp.war"
         privileged="true"
         antiResourceLocking="false"
         antiJARLocking="false"
         unpackWAR="false"
         swallowOutput="true" />

now My question is, is there anything else i should be doing to use the
IDP? when i try to go to the IDP url it doesn't work. So i want to make
sure that's all I have to do to make it work.

My Second question is: in the wiki, it says we should deploy this idp.xml
file inside /conf/Catalina/localhost/idp.xml. Does this "localhost" have to
match your domain or should it always be set to localhost?

Thanks a lot
Kind Regards,
Yasser
