I'm working on a project with my University that I will eventually need to integrate with the Shibboleth system that the University uses. I'm using Django 1.8, and I'm looking for a way that I could simply integrate basic authentication within the application.
I've seen a few packages that supposedly do this but I haven't had any luck finding something compatible with 1.8. Even the questions asked before on SO haven't been entirely relevant to what I need.
Any help with recommending a package, or somewhere to start on creating my own backend for Shibboleth would be most welcome!
I would begin by installing the Shibboleth Service Provider (SP) on your server and integrating Apache HTTPD with the mod_shibd module.
