NAME

Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::ModShibb - Shibboleth auth. plugin for Jifty

DESCRIPTION

This may be combined with the Jifty::Plugin::User plugin to provide user authentication using Shibboleth web single sign-on. The Shibboleth System is a standards based software package for web single sign-on across or within organizational boundaries. It supports authorization and attribute exchange using the OASIS SAML protocol. Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::ModShibb requires a shibd service provider which will set required attributes in environment variables.

CONFIG

 in etc/config.yml

  Plugins: 
    - Authentication::ModShibb:
       mapping:                           # jifty column : shibboleth attribute
