Shibboleth IdP Upgrade from v3 to v4 - Expert Recommendations Needed !!

[prasanna cg]

Thanks Scott. I do see that Amazon Corretto has no cost production ready distribution of the OpenJDK for Debian systems. And from the Shib documentations, looks like Corretto is the most prescribed JDK out of all. Hence, it doesn't make sense for me to switch the underlying OS from Ubuntu to RHEL just for the sake of RHEL OpenJDK. I will get back onto this thread if I have more follow-up questions :)

Thanks again !
