Shibboleth authentication for DSpace
Shibboleth is a distributed authentication system for securely authenticating
users and passing attributes about the user from one or more identity
providers. In the Shibboleth terminology DSpace is a Service Provider which
receives authentication information and then based upon that provides a
service to the user. With Shibboleth DSpace will require that you use
Apache installed with the mod_shib module acting as a proxy for all HTTP
requests for your servlet container (typically Tomcat). DSpace will receive
authentication information from the mod_shib module through HTTP headers.

Service Provider:

See the DSpace.cfg or DSpace manual for information on how to configure
this authentication module.
