The main configuration for the Shibboleth SP is a file called shibbileth2.xml. You'll find this in the main Shibboleth configuration directory whose location varies from installation to installation. Try /etc/shibboleth, /opt/shibboleth-sp/etc/shibboleth, C:\opt\shibboleth-sp\etc\shibboleth or similar.

A skeleton file is available, suitable for use with an SP that only wants to work within the University and only wants to authenticate Raven users. It can be collected from 

 http://raven.cam.ac.uk/project/shibboleth/files/config/shibboleth2.xml-UCAMSKEL

Aake a copy of it and rename it shibbileth2.xml. Search it for all occurrences of 'FIX-ME' and apply the edits described in the adjacent comments. Try not to disturb anything you are not explicitly told to alter - see Editing XML for tips on editing XML files. You can check it for major mistakes by running 

 <some path>/shibd -t (Unix)
 <some path>\shibd.exe -check (Windows)

The path to shibd varies from installation to installation - try /sbin, /opt/shibboleth-sp/sbin, C:\opt\shibboleth-sp\sbin or similar.
