IdP configuration

Shibbolethi IdP (v3 and higher):

In order to setup F-ticks forwarding for an IdP implemented using Shibboleth IdP v3 or higher, add the following configuration lines to conf/idp.properties.

idp.fticks.federation=[Federation identifier]
idp.fticks.algorithm=SHA-256
idp.fticks.loghost=[ip]
idp.fticks.logport=514

  • For [Federation identifier] use the official eduGAIN federation code
  • For [ip] use address of your federation's F-ticks aggregator or collector.f-ticks.edugain.org if you are sending f-ticks directly to eduGAIN F-ticks collector
  • Do not add value to 'idp.fticks.salt'. Not adding this part will remove the PN from the F-ticks.
