<span class="">> Essentially IdP and SP in same box.<br>
<br>
</span>That is your answer. There's nothing special to it, other than the<br>
fact that there's no Shib SP for Java, so if Tomcat is your (only) web<br>
server you'd have to move that behind e.g. Apache httpd and tunnel<br>
everything through httpd via AJP.<br>
<br>
(Nothing stops you from using a different SAML SP implementation, of<br>
course, if you'd rather not change anything about your IDP.)<br>
<br>
I did this many years ago (with a trivial Perl CGI page protected by<br>
the Shib SP), mostly to allow us to promote people bookmarking "the<br>
IDP" (when it really is an SP), instead of telling them not to<br>
bookmark the IDP login page (which meanwhile was made much easier and<br>
the IDP now by default detects such requsts and can give appropriate<br>
comments).<br>
Starting SSO at a bookmarked location also seemed more secure than<br>
letting some website redirect you to (hopefully) the right login page.<br>
<br>
Initially that SP also had a list of available applications, but that<br>
soon grew unweildy, with the number of services growing.<br>
<br>
Different groups within the institution than had issues with that<br>
approach for different reasons, and while the SP at the IDP is still<br>
there, it doesn't do anything these days, other than presenting you a<br>
"login" link (before authn) or a mostly useless statement that you<br>
have now established an SSO session and can go off and access desired<br>
services directly, like you did before.<br>
