Is it possible to install Shibboleth SP on its own server?

Question

Is it possible to install the Shibboleth Service Provider (SP) on a different machine than the web application? I have the SP on the same server as IIS and my web application, and I'd like to move the SP to a separate server.

I can't see any relation between your question and answer. The answer is YES, you can install Shibboleth SP on something other than IIS

general installation notes

Apache for windows (I believe that you need something for that OS)
All Windows installations (including IIS 5,6,7 and Apache)
All Linux tutorials (look for your system in subpages)
Mac
Install Shibboleth to protect Java Servlets

Hope that will help any other knowledge seeker.

may be my english is not good and that leads to my question is misinterpreted. My application is deployed on IIS. Right now, I install SP service on the same machine as IIS and run on its own service but what I want to ask is "Can we deploy SP elsewhere other than the same machine as I deploy My application and IIS" – SaintTail Jan 09 '13 at 03:33

After take a look how to separate SP server from Web Server.

I found this link.

According to this site, we have to create the glue ourselves Shibboleth doesn't do this for us.
