Step by step shib sp/plugin install doc

Installing the Shibboleth SP is a bit beyond normal WordPress stuff, and usually if you’re part of an organization large enough to have a Shibboleth setup you’ll have access to a couple of dedicated security people who can help you through the process.

Anyway, a really quick tour, assuming you’re using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (or CentOS, or something similarly RPM-based):

• Get the appropriate version of the Shibboleth SP software from here
• Install a bunch of RPMs (you’ll need the ‘Shibboleth’ one, obviously, but it will also pull in a lot of dependencies including several other files from that same repo)
• Put the files provided by your IdP (some keys, maybe a couple XML files) in /etc/shibboleth
• service shibd start and maybe chkconfig shibd on
