I was able to set up a Shibboleth service provider and on the VCL login page 
after selecting my identity provider, I am able to log in there but when it 
comes back, I get the error: 

 Unauthorized
"This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document 
requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or 
your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required."

The URL says it was redirected to \shibauth. I tried the instructions in the 
documentation to set up the test.php page to see if the attributes are being 
passed but that is not working. Is there any other way to determine if the 
information from the identity provider is being sent properly to VCL? 

Thanks,

Hi Josh,

I did some more research and I think that in order to get SSO through ADFS, 
Shibboleth needs to be set up first since Apache cannot natively authenticate 
against ADFS. I found a step by step article that seems to be the answer: 
http://www.jbmurphy.com/2016/08/31/using-adfs-for-authenticating-apache-hosted-sites-2/
 Once that is up, I intend to configure as per 
https://vcl.apache.org/docs/shibauth.html and see what happens.

Thanks,

Hi Ariel,

VCL doesn't really directly interact with Shibboleth.  Apache httpd is 
configured to work with Apache, and VCL looks for certain variables set in PHP 
by httpd when a user is authenticated with Shibboleth.  So, you'll probably 
need to work with your httpd configuration to have it interact with ADFS 
correctly.  I won't be much help there as other staff members have primarily 
taken care of that part with our installation.
