As of Grouper 2.1.0, the grouper-shib project (grouper-shib.jar) provides Data Connector extensions and Attribute Definition extensions for the Shibboleth Attribute Resolver. Previously as of version 1.5, the Grouper API distribution (grouper.jar) provided this functionality. Read the Grouper Shib Integration documentation prior to Grouper 2.1

Please note:  Using the Grouper-Shib connector is not the suggested way of integrating Grouper and Shib, unless you have very specific use cases.  The primary use case for the Grouper-Shib connector is to support the PSP which uses the Shibboleth Attribute Resolver to assist with pushing groups to LDAP/AD.  The more common way of integrating Grouper and Shibboleth it is to push the group information into either a LDAP server or a SQL database and then to consume the groups from there.  This eliminates the need to also install the Grouper API and supporting jars into your IdP.
