The easiest way to install the libcurl library on debian is to run this command:
apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
Category: shibboleth
Unable to find XML-Security header files (shibboleth)
When installing shibboleth 2+ on debian you may get the error
This is due to a missing lib
Run the command: apt-get install libxml-security-c-dev
And all your dreams will come true.
Shibboleth / SSO blogging @ Primary Blogger
I’m currently in the process of doing a test of shibboleth integrated blogs. Shibboleth is a single sign on system currently adopted by Ja.net.
The idea is once I have this working then I will put it live on Primary Blogger.
I am hoping to have this up after the IDP and SP for School Email which is due in early October so probably somewhere around the mid November time depending on how cold it gets here and if I can stay alive without any money for central heating!!
Please buy School Email to keep me warm 🙂
Thanks!
Q. What does this mean to me as a user?
A. You will be able to login to Primary Blogger with your Schools username and password, it will basically save administration effort and make full class/school blogs far more easier to manage!
Shibboleth accounts from an MIS
Today I’m happy to announce that the project I am working on (Yet to be publicly announced) will allow schools (subscribed and unsubscribed to LA internet packages) to use an independant(Yet approved by Ja.Net) single sign on IDP that will automatically update accounts (cleanly) from the school MIS.
The package is extremely easy to install (2 clicks and type in an id, username and password) and you are done.
An official press release is due in a few weeks (once most of the development is done and beta testing has begun).
Shibboleth is a way that schools can type in their username and password once and access a range of services such as google apps, primary email and other great web services.
