 Although all Linux servers managed by UA OIT, Technical Services are RHEL, most of the instructions below are appropriate VMWare CentOS 6 and for Virtual Box CentOS 6.  I have noted differences in installation for Virtual Box CentOS 6 where appropriate.

 Although other web servers can manage Shibboleth, at UA the server is implemented via Tomcat.  As of 8 January 2014, Shibboleth IdP is restricted to Tomcat versions no higher than Tomcat 6.  RHEL Tomcat is not an option due to the necessary location and configuration choices.  The following link provides instructions for Tomcat 6 download/install as

 RHEL Java installations are not compatible with Shibboleth IdP.  Tomcat must also be configured to use Open JDK rather than RHEL.  The following instructions guide users through determining which Open JDK java versions are appropriate for your server and then making the installation.

 First determine if ''ntpd'' is installed on the server.  If it is not, install it.
 {{{
-[root@localost ~]# chkconfig ntpd on
+[root@localhost ~]# service ntpd status
 }}}
+
+If ntpd is not installed, a message is returned specifying the service request is unknown.  The following command installs ntpd via yum.
+{{{
+[root@localhost ~]# yum install ntp ntpdate ntp-doc
+}}}
+
+Once installed status can always be checked by:
+{{{
+[root@localhost ~]# service ntpd status
+ntpd is stopped
+}}}
+
+The following commands control ntpd:
+ * service ntpd start
+ * service ntpd stop
+ * chkconfig ntpd on
+
+The first two are self-explanatory.  The last sets ntpd to set the correct time at boot.
