apache, shibboleth, load balancing aliase, ssl
- by Nikolaidis Fotis
Good morning folks
Could you give me a bit of help with the following problem ?
I have a dns load balancing mechanism and an alias (hostAlias) which
may point to host01, or host02
I want to configure apache and shibboleth to work with that alias.
What happens is ...
User types : https://hostAlias (it points to host01)
apache host01 : redirect to shibboleth
shibboleth host01 : redirect to **https://hostAlias.cern.ch/Shibboleth.sso/ADFS**
Now, there are two cases. Either this time hostAlias will point again to host01 ,
or it will point to host02. If it points to host02, host01 will not get the anwser
and the authentication fails.
Also, about ssl certificates, I guess that each host will need its own certificate. right ?
Should I need a certificate with DNS aliases ?
Thanks in advance !
