Currently we do not offer custom installation and configuration documentation for the Shibboleth IDP v4 software – the upstream documentation covers everything and in more detail than we ever could.

Existing IDPv3 installation

In case you're already still running a Shibboleth IDPv3 in eduID.at you must upgrade to IDPv4 by installing the v4 software over your v3 software.

...

• System Requirements (Java 11 and Tomcat 9 as supplied by Debian 10 are still OK)
• Upgrading
• Release Notes (Esp. the warning in section "Attribute-Related Changes" about duplicate attributes when not following the other instructions)
• Installation

You're free to rebuild your IDP server from scratch (as always using the current Debian "stable" version) but instead of also installing a "clean" version of IDPv4 you must first copy over your IDPv3 installation (/opt/shibboleth-idp) to the new server and only then install IDPv4 to the same location. (Of course you may copy more stuff over, such as your Tomcat configuration and TLS keystore, etc.)

...

In case you have not been running a Shibboleth IDP in eduID.at so far you can install a "fresh" instance of IDPv4. We do not provide specific (copy/paste-able) instructions on how to do that at this time.

The instructions we provide should get you up and running as quickly as possibleOne way to make up for this would be for you to install the latest/last IDPv3 release according to our instructions and then upgrade that to v4 following the upstream documentation and the above hints.
