1.Installationofrequiredsoftwares

1. Apache,Java,Tomcat:(usedtomakeShibboleth’sbaseworks)

apt-getinstallapache2openjdk-7-jdktomcat7

2. InstallMySQLserver:(ie:usedtostoretheusersconsentswhenvisitingsites)

apt-getinstallmysql-clientmysql-server(OtherDB-likepostgresql-maybeinstalledbutwe’llonlycoverMySQL)

2. Addfollowingconnectordefinition(intothesamefile):

Ofcourse,youneedtoadaptwhatismentionedinREDtoyourownconfiguration.(seefurtheronhowtosetupMySQL).
