<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to setup SSO with Ellucian Banner Document Management (Application Xtender). I’m using Shibboleth SP (v. 3.1.0.1) with it. Ellician requires the Assertion URL to be in the following format
<a href="https://%3chostname%3e/AppXtender/BdmSamlSso">https://<hostname>/AppXtender/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know by default Shibboleth SP provides it as <a href="https://%3chostname%3e/Shibboleth.sso/SAML2/POST">
https://<hostname>/Shibboleth.sso/SAML2/POST</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I added handlerURL to the shibboleth2.xml under <ApplicationDefaults> to change the default handlerURL of Shibboleth.sso to AppXtender.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <Sessions lifetime="28800" timeout="3600" relayState="ss:mem"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> checkAddress="false" handlerSSL="true" cookieProps="https"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> redirectLimit="exact" handlerURL="/AppXtender"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After making this change, I restart the Shibboleth Service and IIS. I go to the metadata URL (<a href="https://%3chostname%3e/AppXtender/Metadata">https://<hostname>/AppXtender/Metadata</a>) and the metadata does not populate.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please note: I follow the same steps as above but instead of
<i>handlerURL="/AppXtender"> </i>I put another name like <i>handlerURL="/Folder01"></i> and go to the metadata URL ((<a href="https://%3chostname%3e/Folder01/Metadata">https://<hostname>/Folder01/Metadata</a>) for it (after IIS and Shib restart) and the metadata
does indeed populate as expected.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I cannot figure out why it does not like when I have AppXtender as the handlerURL.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any suggestions on what it may be? I try testing with different naming conventions like Folder01 and other names and those work just fine. Is there somewhere else I need to modify or identify this? I just don’t get why it works for other
names and not the one I need. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks so much! <o:p></o:p></p>
