Hi there,<br>
<br>
A quick question for the developers of the module. The
documentation indicates that the entire Drupal directory should have
Shibboleth protection:<br>
<br>
<Location /location_of/your_Drupal/installation><br>
AuthType Shibboleth<br>
ShibRequireSession Off<br>
# the following single line is only valid for Shib2<br>
ShibUseHeaders On<br>
require shibboleth<br>
</Location><br>
<br>
Would it be possible instead to protect only the /shib_login/ path
to eliminate the need for Shibboleth to intercept all queries to the
Drupal environment? This is, of course, with the option "<i>Destroy
Drupal session when the Shibboleth session expires</i>" disabled.<br>
<br>
<Location /location_of/your_Drupal/installation/shib_login><br>
AuthType Shibboleth<br>
ShibRequireSession Off<br>
# the following single line is only valid for Shib2<br>
ShibUseHeaders On<br>
require shibboleth<br>
</Location><br>
<br>
I think this could somewhat improve the performance of the
implementation.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Nate.
