EDS issues

Thanks for your reply.

So, I put the following into my shibboleth2.xml:

<Path name="eds" authType="shibboleth" requireSession="false"/>

Which I think is what I need (i know you said IIS config). But no luck.

But thinking about it, the eds will be used on my website.
Shibboleth and my website are on totally different
servers - does that actually make it easier? Or is it impossible
to have that setup?


Thanks.
