Getting issue in discovery service

[Mrinal Srivastava]

Hi All,

I am new to Shibboleth and configuring discovery service 1st time. I followed few links like:
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/EDS10/1.+Overview
https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/ShibInstallFest/Intro+to+Embedded+Discovery+Service

I have configured EDS by following these links. But it seems like I had done something wrong.
Basically I have below doubts:
1. Where to copy the unzipped shibboleth-embedded-ds-1.1.0 data. As of now, I have created a DS named folder in webapps under tomcat.
2. What should be the discovery profile URL? As of now I have given https://ds.<myhost>/DS
3. Where to put shibboleth-ds.conf data? As of now, I have copied the conf and added the same into apache22.config of Apache2.


I am using ShibasSP 2.5.

I am able to access https://sp.<myhost>/Shibboleth.sso/DiscoFeed and it is listing all the entityIDs as JSON.

But when I tried to perform SSO, it is going on some infinite URl formation and throwing :Request URI too large.

I am not able to understand it clearly. I know I am making some big mistake. Really need help on this.

I am able to make some progress. But issue is same of getting "URI - too large"

I have done the below things (working on Windows):
1.
 - Downloaded the EDS zip and unzipped that.
 - Copied css,js and html in Apache/htdocs
 - Put below statement in https.conf
 - Include C:\opt\shibboleth-embedded-ds\shibboleth-ds.conf
2. Updated shibboleth-ds.conf with proper paths in aliases.
3. Updates my DS URL for V>2.4 as https://<myhost>/DS/index.html at shibboleth2.xml

Now, when I am trying to perform SSO. My URL is getting generating in recurrcive manner and throwing "URI too large"

Issue got resolved. The catch was that you need to deploy EDS at your local web server i.e. @ Apache or if you are deploying it at Tomcat then make the proper configurations.

Thanks.
