Passing shibboleth sp attributes to application on Jetty with Apache as proxy

Question

I have a few spring boot applications running on Jetty embedded. And I have Shibboleth SP running on Apache server.

I am able to pass assertion attributes to Tomcat via AJP, but, since Jetty9 doesn't support AJP anymore, I can't do the same.

I want to know how to configure Apache, so the assertion attributes may be passed to application running on Jetty.

<Location /myapp>
        SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
        SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
        AuthType shibboleth
        ShibRequestSetting requireSession 1
        require valid-user
</Location>

Answer 1

Attributes need to be coded as headers by apache2 with the

ShibUseHeaders On

directive in your location.

Please have a look of all the implications from the Shibboleth Official Documentation.
