Shibboleth Service Provider Proxy

This service is best if you already have a web-application developed and you want to make it easily accessible by students/academics, or if a University has requested you add support for their login system.

Our Shibboleth SP Proxy works well for web-applications; it’s independant of the rest of your service so it can work with almost anything, and it can be made to integrate simply requiring minimal or no software changes for your site.

We can deliver this either as a VM configuration, or as a Docker container, so that it suits the rest of your infrastructure.

• Based on latest stable release of industry recommended software to ensure you are on a well supported, secure, platform

• … support registering with up to 5 direct metadata trusts, if you have known partners you need to work with.
