Implementing Devolved Constraints
- Download the jdbc connector for Microsoft SQL Server
The oldish version of java on the server might cause a compatibility issue as the java version is 6 :
see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/system-requirements-for-the-jdbc-driver
Requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 7.0. Using JRE 6.0 or lower will throw an exception.
Looks like we need version 4 of the jdbc connector : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/microsoft-jdbc-driver-for-sql-server-support-matrix#java-and-jdbc-specification-support
But it looks like it's no longer available "We're sorry, this download is no longer available."
Managed to download from here : http://www.mediafire.com/file/3ycmaelhoot/sqljdbc4.jar
- Test the connection to the target database using a simple java app
- Install the connector in the "lib" folder in the Tomcat Shibboleth application
- Modify the CLASSPATH variable to include the connector
- Perform a re-install of Shibboleth using the install script
- Edit the Shibboleth config files
