Shibboleth SP on Ubuntu Linux LTS 18.04

Installation assumes you have already installed Ubuntu Server 18.04 with default configuration and has a public IP connectivity with DNS setup

Lets Assume your server hostname as sp.instXY.ac.lk

All commands are to be run as root and you may use sudo su to become root

  1. Install the packages required:
  • apt install apache2 ntp ca-certificates vim openssl binutils
    
  1. Modify /etc/hosts:
  • vim /etc/hosts
    
         127.0.0.1 sp.instXY.ac.lk sp
    

(Replace sp.instXY.ac.lk with your sp FQDN)

Install Shibboleth Service Provider

  1. Install dependancies to overcome issues with libcurl libraries. ( Credits: Josh L.'s Blog )
  •      apt install liblog4shib1v5 libxerces-c3.2 libxml-security-c17v5 libcurl3
         cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4.5.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl3.so.4.5.0
         apt-get install libcurl4
         mkdir ~/temp
         cd ~/temp
         apt-get download libxmltooling7 # Ignore the warnings
         ar x libxmltooling7_1.6.4-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
         tar xf control.tar.xz
         sed -i -e 's/libcurl3 (>= 7.16.2)/libcurl4/g' control
         tar -cJvf control.tar.xz control md5sums shlibs triggers
         ar rcs libxmltooling-local.deb debian-binary control.tar.xz data.tar.xz
         dpkg -i libxmltooling-local.deb
         mkdir /etc/systemd/system/shibd.service.d
    
  • Create the following script to override defaults,
  • vim /etc/systemd/system/shibd.service.d/override.conf
    
         [Service]
         Environment="LD_PRELOAD=libcurl3.so.4.5.0"
    

  1. Install Shibboleth SP:
         apt install libapache2-mod-shib2 libapache2-mod-php
    

From this point the location of the SP directory is: /etc/shibboleth

Configuration Instructions

Configure Apache2

  1. These configurations are based for test purposes with self generated ssl certificates. If you have purchased ssl certificate from a commercial CA substitute self signed files with those. If you wish to get letsencrypt certificates on your production, Skip to Step 10.

Create a Certificate and a Key self-signed for HTTPS:

  • openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout /etc/ssl/private/ssl-sp.key -out /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-sp.crt -nodes -days 1095
    
  1. Modify the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/sp-ssl.conf as follows:
   <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
      SSLStaplingCache        shmcb:/var/run/ocsp(128000)
      <VirtualHost _default_:443>
        ServerName sp.instXY.ac.lk:443
        ServerAdmin admin@instXY.ac.lk
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html
        
        SSLEngine On
        
        SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3 -TLSv1 -TLSv1.1
        SSLCipherSuite "EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH"

        SSLHonorCipherOrder on

        # Disable SSL Compression
        SSLCompression Off
        
        # OCSP Stapling, only in httpd/apache >= 2.3.3
        SSLUseStapling          on
        SSLStaplingResponderTimeout 5
        SSLStaplingReturnResponderErrors off
        
        # Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security with a 2 year duration
        Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000;includeSubDomains;preload"
        
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-sp.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-sp.key
        #SSLCertificateChainFile /root/certificates/ssl-ca.pem
        
      </VirtualHost>
   </IfModule>
  1. Enable proxy_http, SSL and headers Apache2 modules:
  • a2enmod proxy_http ssl headers alias include negotiation
    
  • a2ensite sp-ssl.conf
    
  • systemctl restart apache2
    
  1. Configure Apache2 to open port 80 only for localhost:
  • vim /etc/apache2/ports.conf
    
         # If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
         # have to change the VirtualHost statement in
         # /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
    
         Listen 127.0.0.1:80
     
         <IfModule ssl_module>
           Listen 443
         </IfModule>
        
         <IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
           Listen 443
         </IfModule>
    
  1. Configure Apache2 to redirect all on HTTPS:
  • vim /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
    
         <VirtualHost *:80>
            ServerName "sp.instXY.ac.lk"
            Redirect permanent "/" "https://sp.instXY.ac.lk/"
            RedirectMatch permanent ^/(.*)$ https://sp.instXY.ac.lk/$1
         </VirtualHost>
    
  1. Let'sencrypt setup (Skip this step if you already configured SSL with self signed or CA provided certificates) (Optional)

Disable the default configuration

  • cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
    
  • a2dissite 000-default.conf
    
  • systemctl reload apache2
    

Create a new conf file as sp.conf

  • cp 000-default.conf sp.conf
    

Edit sp.conf with following

  • vim sp.conf
    
    <VirtualHost *:80>
     
            ServerName sp.instXY.ac.lk
            ServerAdmin YOUR-Email
            DocumentRoot /var/www/html
            
            ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
            CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    
    </VirtualHost>

Configure Shibboleth SP

  1. Download Federation Metadata Signing Certificate:
  • cd /etc/shibboleth/
    
  • wget https://fr-training.ac.lk/metadata-signer -O federation-cert.pem
    
  1. Edit shibboleth2.xml opportunely:
  • vim /etc/shibboleth/shibboleth2.xml
    
         ...
         <ApplicationDefaults entityID="https://sp.instXY.ac.lk/shibboleth"
              REMOTE_USER="eppn persistent-id targeted-id">
         ...
         <Sessions lifetime="28800" timeout="3600" checkAddress="false" handlerSSL="true" cookieProps="https">
         ...
         <SSO discoveryProtocol="SAMLDS" discoveryURL="https://fds-training.ac.lk">
            SAML2
         </SSO>
         ...
         <MetadataProvider type="XML" uri="https://fr-training.ac.lk/signed-metadata.xml" legacyOrgName="true" backingFilePath="LEARN-metadata.xml" reloadInterval="600">
               
               <MetadataFilter type="Signature" certificate="federation-cert.pem"/>
               
               <MetadataFilter type="RequireValidUntil" maxValidityInterval="864000" />
         </MetadataProvider>
    
  1. Create SP metadata credentials:
  • /usr/sbin/shib-keygen
    
  • shibd -t /etc/shibboleth/shibboleth2.xml
    

(Check Shibboleth configuration)

  1. Enable Shibboleth Apache2 configuration:
  • a2enmod shib2
    
  • systemctl reload apache2.service 
    
  1. Now you are able to reach your Shibboleth SP Metadata on:
  • https://sp.instXY.ac.lk/Shibboleth.sso/Metadata
    

(change sp.instXY.ac.lk to you SP full qualified domain name)

  1. Register you SP on LEARN test federation:
  • Go to https://fr-training.ac.lk/rr3/providers/sp_registration and continue registration with pasting the content of your metadata file
  • When Applying for the membership of the federation the form will ask lot of questions to identify your service. Therefore, answer all of them as per the following,
    • On the SP registration page start with pasting the whole xml metadata from https://sp.instXY.ac.lk/Shibboleth.sso/Metadata and click next.
    • If you have correctly entered metadata you will be asked to select a Federation.
    • Select "Federation for Testing"
    • Fill in your contact Details
    • Go to Organization tab and Fill in all details for language English(en) by clicking "Add in new language" button
    • Go to Contacts tab and add at least "Support" and "Technical" contacts
    • On UI Information tab you will see some data extracted from metadata. Apart from those fill-in the rest
    • On Certificates tab, make sure it contains Certificate details, if not start Over by reloading IDP's metadata and pasting them.
    • On Required Attribute Tab select any attribute your application needs. eg: email as a required and mobile as a desired attribute.
    • Finally click Register.

Configure an example federated resouce "secure"

  1. Create the Apache2 configuration for the application:
  • sudo su -
    
  • vim /etc/apache2/site-available/secure.conf
    
         RedirectMatch    ^/$  /secure
    
         <Location /secure>
           Authtype shibboleth
           ShibRequireSession On
           require valid-user
         </Location>
    
  1. Create the "secure" application into the DocumentRoot:
  • mkdir /var/www/html/secure
    

*

vim /var/www/html/secure/index.php
     <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

         </p>
         <?php
         
         foreach ($_SERVER as $key => $value){
            print $key." = ".$value."<br>";
         }
         /*foreach ($_ENV as $key => $value){
            print $key." = ".$value."<br>";
         }
         foreach ($_COOKIE as $key => $value){
            print $key." = ".$value."<br>";
         }*/
         ?>
       </body>
     </html>
  1. Install needed packages:
  • apt istall libapache2-mod-php
    
  • systemctl restart apache2.service
    

Enable Attribute Support on Shibboleth SP

  1. Enable attribute by remove comment from the related content into "/etc/shibboleth/attribute-map.xml" Disable First deprecated/incorrect version of persistent-id from attribute-map.xml

Enable Single Logout

  1. Change <Logout> element in /etc/shibboleth/shibboleth2.xml. They get passed as attributes to the SAML2 logoutInitiator that gets created by the Logout element. The fully unfolded configuration with settings identical to default is:
    <Logout asynchronous="true" outgoingBindings="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-Redirect urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:SOAP">
      SAML2 Local
    </Logout>
    

Setting asynchronous="false" would make the flow return back to the SP (this otherwise only happens for the SOAP binding which cannot be done asynchronously).

To initiate, create a button or link to go to a URL on the SP of the form: https://sp.instXY.ac.lk/Shibboleth.sso/Logout

The SLO would use an asynchronous message to the IdP and the flow would end at the IdP Logout page. The user would be returned to the return URL only if the SLO is done in synchronous mode and the flow returns back to the SP. To set the return URL, pass it in the return parameter as a query string to the Logout initiator - e.g.: https://sp.instXY.ac.lk/Shibboleth.sso/Logout?return=https://sp.instXY.ac.lk/logout-completed.html
