Save a copy of shibboleth2.xml to shibboleth2.xml.orig or similar. Download our sample shibboleth2.xml and replace your shibboleth2.xml with downloaded file. Open shibboleth2.xml in a text editor.

• Update the site ID and name:

Find <ISAPI...>...<Site id="1" name="shibtest.cit.cornell.edu"/>. Change the "site id" to match the id assigned to your site by IIS. You can find your site id in Internet Services (IIS) Manager by clicking on "Sites". In this same location, change the site name to your website domain name. Our example defined two sites. Delete or add more as needed.

• Update the host name:

Find <RequestMap>...<Host name="shibtest.cit.cornell.edu">. Change the "Host name" to the site name you defined in step above. In this example file, we defined two hosts and specifies different authorization rules for each site and location. Please modify it to meet your site requirement. If your site supports both http and https, add redirectToSSL="443" in Host element because shibboleth SP doesn't work with http connection.

<Host name="xxx" authType="shibboleth" requireSession="true" redirectToSSL="443" />

" requireSession="true" redirectToSSL="443" />

<Host name="xxx"  redirectToSSL="443" />
	 <Path name="special" authType="shibboleth" requireSession="true" />
</Host>                    

<Host name="xxx"  redirectToSSL="443" />
     <!-- authorization by NetID -->
     <Path name="special" authType="shibboleth" requireSession="true">
   	    <AccessControl> 
            <Rule require="uid">jy98 mop29</Rule>      
        </AccessControl>
    </Path>
    <!-- authorization by group/permit -->
    <!-- Group Name is CASE SENSITIVE -->
    <Path name="students" authType="shibboleth" requireSession="true">
   	    <AccessControl> 
            <Rule require="groups">cit.idm CIT-IDM-test</Rule>      
        </AccessControl>
    </Path> 
    <!-- authorization by user's affiliation.Possible value of affiliation: affiliate, alum, faculty, employee, staff, student -->
    <Path name="students" authType="shibboleth" requireSession="true">
   	    <AccessControl> 
            <Rule require="affiliations">employee student</Rule>     
        </AccessControl>
    </Path>

        <Rule require="authnContextClassRef">https://refeds.org/profile/mfa</Rule>
    </AccessControl>
</Host>

• Update SP entityID:

Find <ApplicationDefaults entityID="https://shibtest.cit.cornell.edu/shibboleth" ...>. EntityID is the unique identifier for your SP. Cornell Shibboleth Identity Provider(IDP) provides service to many applications. This entityID will help Cornell IDP to identify your SP. We recommend you follow shibboleth convention named it "https://yourDomainName/shibboleth". It's better not include space or special characters in it( / or : are fine). 

You can use one entityID for all your sites hosted in the same IIS.

• Update the support contact:

Find  < Errors supportContact ="root@localhost"  helpLocation ="/about.html" styleSheet ="/shibboleth-sp/main.css"  /> . Change the email address to your application's support email address.

• Update IDP info if you are configuring a test/dev site( skip this if you are configuring production site )

Find <SSO entityID=" https://shibidp.cit.cornell.edu/idp/shibboleth ">.Replace our production IDP's entityID with test IDP's entityID: https://shibidp-test.cit.cornell.edu/idp/shibboleth

Find <MetadataProvider ... url=" https://shibidp.cit.cornell.edu/idp/shibboleth " ..>. This is production IDP's metadata url. Comment out this block for your test site. Then un-comment MetadataProvider for Cornell test IDP.

•  If your site also support Weill Cornell Medicine CWID login, follow instruction:https://confluence.cornell.edu/display/SHIBBOLETH/Login+with+Cornell+NetID+and+Weill+Cornell+CWID

Go to your SP installation directory(default C:\opt\shibboleth-sp), cd to /sbin64 or /sbin directory as appropriate to your 64-bit or 32-bit system. Running the code below from the command line:

shibd.exe -check
