Skipping a lot of detail here is an overview of the steps involved with using Shibboleth with uPortal. The uPortal configuration step is very small and generally trivial. In the list below steps 1 through 4 are covered by the Shibboleth Documentation. Step 5 is the only uPortal specific part and described below.
- Install and configure Shibboleth SP - configure SP to pass uid via REMOTE_USER to get it working faster.
- Install and configure uPortal - get it running on its own without Shib.
- Install and configure Apache httpd server. Configure httpd with Shib and validate that Shib can protect resource AND pass attributes. Also configure httpd to work with tomcat (mod_jk).
- Configure httpd server to protect uri '/uPortal/Login'
- Configure uPortal authentication - use the RemoteUserSecurityContext for (Shib) authentication
