Shibboleth SP 3 causes issues with the Crystal Reports Runtime Engine

[Damian Crawford (JCAD)]

Hi Scott,

So essentially does that mean that any referenced component within an application that uses the same dll as Shibboleth e.g. xerces-c_3_2.dll will fail?

Our current solution therefore is to either reference a different version of the Crystal Reports runtime which uses an earlier version of that dll, which isn't really viable, or to use Shibboleth 2.6.1.4 and ISAPI.

Which presumably means going forward we would need to monitor the versions of the file being used by future releases of both products to see whether there is a compatible path to upgrade either without file conflicts?

Kind regards


Damian

Nothing I can think of. I don't do anything to the library, it's built from source. I suspect they used a different compiler, so it's impossible for them to use mine and impossible for the SP to use theirs.
