Is it possible to install Shibboleth SP on its own server?

Question

Is it possible to install the Shibboleth Service Provider (SP) on a different machine than the web application? I have the SP on the same server as IIS and my web application, and I'd like to move the SP to a separate server.

Answer 1

I can't see any relation between your question and answer. The answer is YES, you can install Shibboleth SP on something other than IIS

general installation notes

• Apache for windows (I believe that you need something for that OS)
• All Windows installations (including IIS 5,6,7 and Apache)
• All Linux tutorials (look for your system in subpages)
• Mac
• Install Shibboleth to protect Java Servlets

Hope that will help any other knowledge seeker.

Answer 2

After take a look how to separate SP server from Web Server.

I found this link.

According to this site, we have to create the glue ourselves Shibboleth doesn't do this for us.
