In order to enable Shibboleth support in gitlab we need to use Apache instead of Nginx (It may be possible to use Nginx, however this is difficult to configure using the bundled Nginx provided in the omnibus-gitlab package). Apache uses mod_shib2 module for shibboleth authentication and can pass attributes as headers to omniauth-shibboleth provider.
To enable the Shibboleth OmniAuth provider you must configure Apache shibboleth module.
Installation and configuration of module it self is out of scope of this document.

1. Edit /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb configuration file to enable OmniAuth and add
Shibboleth as an OmniAuth provider. User attributes will be sent from the
Apache reverse proxy to GitLab as headers with the names from the Shibboleth
attribute mapping. Therefore the values of the `args` hash
should be in the form of `"HTTP_ATTRIBUTE"`. The keys in the hash are arguments
to the [OmniAuth::Strategies::Shibboleth class](https://github.com/toyokazu/omniauth-shibboleth/blob/master/lib/omniauth/strategies/shibboleth.rb)
and are documented by the [omniauth-shibboleth gem](https://github.com/toyokazu/omniauth-shibboleth)
(take care to note the version of the gem packaged with GitLab). If some of
your users appear to be authenticated by Shibboleth and Apache, but GitLab
rejects their account with a URI that contains "e-mail is invalid" then your
Shibboleth Identity Provider or Attribute Authority may be asserting multiple
e-mail addresses. In this instance, you might consider setting the
`multi_values` argument to `first`.

On the sign in page there should now be a "Sign in with: Shibboleth" icon below the regular sign in form. Click the icon to begin the authentication process.
