Ubuntu packages for the Shibboleth Service Provider

Ubuntu is not one of the platforms supported by the Shibboleth Consortium for the Service Provider (SP). No updates to the Shibboleth SP and associated packages are available after the release of an LTS version of Ubuntu. However, patches are available from the community on the Debian platform, which is also not officially supported.

DAASI International provides current versions of the Shibboleth SP together with the associated packages on Ubuntu. As soon as a new version of these packages is available in Debian, DAASI International will port them to Ubuntu.
