How to keep Passenger from handling Shibboleth.sso URLs

I have Apache + Passenger setup where Rails app is in the domain root. The Application will be protected by Shibboleth, but asking for

/Shibboleth.sso/Metadata

Returns 404 error from Rails.

If I remove Rails app from the DocumentRoot (rename the folder), then Shibboleth correctly provides me the Metadata, but again stops as soon as I restore the Rails app.

How to keep Passenger from handling that URL? Should I make it an alias to some place? Where?

EDIT: I also tried this, but it had no effect:

<Location /Shibboleth.sso>
  SetHandler shib
</Location>
Solution

  • better way would be disabling Passenger for /Shibboleth.sso in Apache

    it should look like this:

        <Location /Shibboleth.sso>
            PassengerEnabled off
            Satisfy Any
    </Location>
