Linux

Ubuntu:

   /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf for HTTP (for port 80)
   /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf for HTTPS (for port 443)

2. Add the following line within <VirtualHost *:80> for HTTP connection or <VirtualHost *.443> for HTTPS connection. You can place it under the line DocumentRoot /var/www/html.

   Alias /simplesaml /var/www/html/thirdparty/simplesaml/public

B)- Use the simplesaml settings provided in the package and update it with the customized settings if exist: 

Version 23.241.x of FileCloud has updated SimpleSAML to version 2.x. If your FileCloud build uses SSO, please take the following steps to replace your old configuration files with new ones; otherwise, SSO will not work correctly in your system.

1. Go to your SimpleSAML config directory.
   Windows: C:xampp\htdocs\thirdparty\simplesaml\config
   Linux: /var/www/html/thirdparty/simplesaml/config
2. Rename:
   config.php to config.php.bak
   authsources.php to authsources.php.bak
3. Then rename:
   config.php-[date] to config.php
   authsources.php-[date] to authsources.php
4. Copy any modifications you made to the original config.php (now config.php.bak) to the current config.php
5. Copy any modifications you made to the original authsources.php (now authsoruces.php.bak) to the current authsources.php
