1. Ensure that the new server meets the system requirements for the Shibboleth service provider software.
2. Install the Shibboleth service provider software on the new server.
3. Copy the Shibboleth configuration files and any required certificates in the /etc/shibboleth directory from the old server to the new server.
configuration files: shibboleth2.xml attribute-map.xml
Certificate files: sp-encrypt-cert.pem sp-encrypt-key.pem sp-signing-cert.pem sp-signing-key.pem
5. Update any necessary configuration files to reflect the new server's hostname and IP address.
6. Test the new server to ensure that the Shibboleth service provider is functioning correctly.
By following these steps, you can avoid any potential disruptions to your Shibboleth service provider protected website when moving it to a new server.
