Shibboleth documentation and HOWTOs

Deploying Shibboleth SPs in the University

Information (sketchy at present) about deploying Shibboleth SPs within the University, either just to protect sites with Raven or with a view to joining the UK federation and potentially letting in people from other institutions. This information is intended to support the deployment of Internet2's SP software version 2.1 - other versions of this, and other software, should work but the Computing Service will be limited as to the amount of support it can provide.
