Hi Alvaro
Thanks for the hint, but <Location /var/lib/koha/<INSTANCE>/ > isn't
working either. Besides there is some caching going on (Memcache, Plack,
Mojolicious) that complicates things a lot.
I think there is some important information missing in
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Shibboleth_Configuration
Maybe it even has something to do with the new caching introduced in
recent Koha versions?
Is anyone successfully running Shibboleth with Koha 20.11 (running
Plack) - and if yes, what does your directive "Location" look like?
Best wishes: Michael

Hi Michael
My guess would be
<Location /var/lib/koha/<INSTANCE>/ >
since it is the root path of koha

That is how it's shown in the example...

How would that work?
However, I have deleted my previous configuration and started all over,
documenting and testing every step according to
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Shibboleth_Configuration
<https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Shibboleth_Configuration>
Everything works fine until section "Adding Directories and
Permissions"
and it's always possible to download an XML file when accessing
https://kohaserver.yourdomain.example.com/Shibboleth.sso/Metadata
<https://kohaserver.yourdomain.example.com/Shibboleth.sso/Metadata>
So the file "Shibboleth.so/Metadata" seems to be created dynamically,
since there is no directory or file of that name on the Koha host.
But as soon as I follow section "Enabling Shibboleth for your
Virtualhost" and add the directive <Location /> the trouble starts and
it is no more possible to access
https://kohaserver.yourdomain.example.com/Shibboleth.sso/Metadata
<https://kohaserver.yourdomain.example.com/Shibboleth.sso/Metadata> -
instead I get the message Sorry, the requested page is not available,
Error 404".
So yes, "<Location />" is probably wrong but what would be the correct
path then? I tried <Location /Shibboleth.sso> and <Location
/shibboleth/metadata> but these seem to be wrong as well...
Best wishes: Michael
