Shibboleth, IIS 7.5, Tomcat

  • 772

I am trying to set up Shibboleth SP on a Server 2008 R2/ IIS 7.5 machine.

IIS throws the following error when browsing to localhost:

HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error
Calling LoadLibraryEx on ISAPI filter "C:\opt\shibboleth-sp\lib64\shibboleth\isapi_shib.dll" failed

I'm assuming that this is because IIS does not have permissions to get to that dll file, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I went to the C:\opt folder and added permissions for the IIS_USRS group for the shibboleth-sp folder, but still it didn't work. Is there another user that I have to give permission to because it's using IIS 6 Compatibility Mode?

Is there anything else that I should be checking besides for based on this error besides for the folder permissions?

    I figured this out a little while ago and never got the chance to post back now.

    Originally, I installed the 64-bit version/ used the 64-bit version DLL and got the 500 error.
    Due to the app that I was protecting with Shibboleth, I had to change the application pool to allow 32-bit DLL's. As far as I can tell, enabling 32-bit DLL's effectively disables 64-bit DLL's. Once I tried the 32-bit DLL (by installing the 64 bit version, but running as 32 bit) the installation went well.
