NAME
shibd - Shibboleth daemon
SYNOPSIS
shibd [-tfFvh] [-c config] [-d prefix] [-p pidfile] [-w seconds] [-x catalog]
DESCRIPTION
shibd is the Shibboleth daemon. It handles attribute requests from the
Apache Shibboleth module and should run in conjunction with it.
OPTIONS
shibd takes the following command-line options.
- -c pathname
- Specifies the pathname of shibd's configuration file. Defaults to
/etc/shibboleth/shibboleth2.xml or the value of the SHIBSP_CONFIG
environment variable, if it is set. - -d pathname
- Installation prefix. Defaults to /usr.
- -F Stay in the foreground. Normally, shibd backgrounds itself after
- starting up.
- -f Force removal of listener socket.
- -h Prints out a brief summary of the shibboleth options.
- -p pathname
- Specifies the pathname to use to write out the shibboleth PID file.
- -w seconds
- Seconds to wait for the background shibd to start up before the foreground process returns. If not set, the default value is three seconds.
- -t Validates the general correctness of the configuration. Not all
- problems can be detected this way, but the chance of successful
startup is high if the checking process does not log any errors. - -v Prints out the version string.
- -x pathname
- Specifies the XML schema catalog to use. Defaults to
/usr/share/xml/shibboleth/catalog.xml.
