Hi Shazia, yes, DSpace uses stackable authentication, so multiple authentication modules can be used in parallel. Here's what you need for authentication.cfg: plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = \ org.dspace.authenticate.ShibAuthentication, \ org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication Of course, now you should set up authentication-password.cfg (usually not necessary) and authentication-shibboleth.cfg. > Is it possible to do this?

The details for DSpace 1.8.2 and newer are here: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Authentication+Plugins#AuthenticationPlugins-ConfiguringShibbolethAuthentication(DSpace1.8.2+) In the supported setup, you need to run Apache HTTPD as a front-end to DSpace. You have to install the Shibboleth Service Provider (SP) and load it as a module to Apache (mod_shib). Then you have to configure the details of your particular Shibboleth environment in authentication-shibboleth.cfg.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Configuring Shibboleth for DSpace 4
One way you might consider is to use Apache redirects. In the httpd.conf the DSpace address may redirect to the university's authentication service. I don't know anything about how Shibboleth works however I assume the authentication page has a list of applications or URLs that it then runs for the user and may then return the user to the "real" DSpace URL. Sounds like a job for your friendly neighborhood system administrator.

[Dspace-tech] Configuring Shibboleth for DSpace 4
Hello All, I am trying to configure Authentication in DSpace 4 and not sure how to proceed. The scenario I am trying to implement is to have two ways to authenticate users to the DSpace site. 1) If a staff/student at my university wishes to login then they click on a link that routes them to the university authentication page. After they are successfully authenticated, they are returned to DSpace site to access resources based on their access rights. My university uses Shibboleth. I am just not sure how to link it to DSpace though. 2) For all other users it would be the default password-based authentication. Is it possible to do this? Any pointers would be appreciated. I have gone through the documentation but I am not sure where to start. I have addded org.dspace.authenticate.ShibAuthentication to authentication.cfg. Thanks in advance for your help.
