Communication with the SAML Identity Provider requires installing and configuring the Shibboleth service provider (SP). The Shibboleth SP is an open source software solution for web single sign-on and is available for both Windows (32-bit and 64-bit). Install the suggested version of the Shibboleth SP for Apache by downloading the appropriate Shibboleth SP installer from here. Ensure the SP is downloaded for 64-bit Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2012.
