Try the documentation, home for the Shib SP:
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/
-> "Configure"
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/Configuration
-> "Talk to a New Identity Provider"

That could mean several things: Do you want to add another
organization from where people should log in to your existing service?
Then the above covers that.

Or do you want to add another application or vhost to your existing
installation, to be used by the same IDP(s) currentiyl accessing your
application?

>             Unable to locate metadata for identity provider (https://secondwebsite.app.net/shibboleth)

This error would be the result of trying to add another authentication
server (IDP) to your service. If you instead want to add another vhost
the details depend on the web server used, and the intended or
acceptable isolation between the new server(name) and the existing
one.
