Does Shibboleth plug-in work if Shibboleth resides on a different server?

Hello, and greetings from Nanterre, France

I’m sorry because this question was yet answered 13 years ago, but… what about now that Shib can pass attributes/headers ?

“Does Shibboleth plug-in work if Shibboleth Service resides on a server different than the server WordPress resides on?
If so, how does it work? “

thanks, anyway, for this powerful plugin, and have a nice day

Since WP 6.6+, navigating away from profile page prompts “Leave site?” dialog

Jason LeMahieu (MadtownLems) — Thu, 03 Oct 2024 13:39:25 +0000

Since upgrading to WP 6.6.2 (from 6.5.x), we’ve noticed that whenever a user navigates away from their profile page, they are shown the “Leave site? Changes you made may not be saved” dialog. It appears to stem from the disabling of managed fields, as commenting that out prevents the issue (but also then doesn’t disable the fields, naturally)

My research led to me find that: “”When you disable a form field in JavaScript and the user attempts to leave the page, it can trigger the browser’s “Leave Site?” dialog. This is because the browser considers a disabled field as having unsaved changes.”

I’m not sure what would have changed from 6.5 -> 6.6 to cause the change. As the fields don’t appear filterable with PHP, I’m struggling to find an alternative solution to disabling managed fields that doesn’t trigger such an error when leaving the page.

Settings checkbox not savings

diders — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 06:05:55 +0000

Is there any reason or bug that would not allow checkboxes to be saved in the admin screen for this plugin? I cant tick Use Shibboleth as the default login method for users but if I keep refreshing it may allow the checkbox to be saved but it isnt returned from DB as saved. When looking in the DB it does seem saved however shibboleth_default_to_shib_login = 1

It must be a front end problem as there are other instances where this plugin is working fine i.e checkbox settings save and unsave properly. Any help appreciated

Infinite Redirect

Hello,

I am trying to setup the plugin behind a reverse proxy with Apache. When clicking Login with Shibboleth I get into a redirect loop where the IdP correctly authenticates but seems to redirect back to the URL that initiates a new IdP authorization request. It seems that maybe the plugin isn’t properly detecting the headers.

Configuration (redacted with example.com):

Login URL: https://example.com/Shibboleth.sso/Login
Logout URL: https://example.com/Shibboleth.sso/Logout
Attribute Access: HTTP Headers
Spoof Key: blank (will configure once it works without it)

Relevant Apache config:

   
     AuthType Shibboleth
     ShibRequestSetting requireSession false
     ShibUseHeaders On
     Require shibboleth
  

   
     SetHandler shib
     ShibUseHeaders On
     AuthType None
     Require all granted

I placed a PHP file in the root of the server with:

';
var_dump($_SERVER, $_ENV);
echo '

';

Should I install and configure on the WordPress server the “Shibboleth Service Provider” ?

And how can I produce the XML file with the Service Provider Metadata that I have to upload on the IDP ?

All new users now can’t login the expected way

We have recently updated WP to version 5.5.5 and the new users we have created and setup websites with can’t get in to through the usual way. The old users that were created before the update seems to be working perfectly. So this issues is only with the new users that are being created after the WP version update.

Can you please help me troubleshoot and resolve the problem? We have 200+ new students that are signed up and need to get in for submitting their assignment and we can’t seem to pin point exactly what could cause this issue since the settings are all the same from before the update. Thank you!

Possible bug with user creation (might be in core, not sure)

David E. Smith — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 16:23:56 +0000

Replies: 2

We have at least one user with an apostrophe in their SSO username (let’s say their username is “jane_o’toole”). The Shibboleth plugin won’t let them log in — WordPress is creating their local account with the username “jane_otoole” instead of one that matches their username.

I tried manually updating the database, to change their username to “jane_o’toole” but that didn’t help. WordPress created a second account for her, so now there are accounts with usernames “jane_otoole” and “jane_o’toole”.

I’m not sure if this is a bug in how the Shibboleth plugin is creating their local accounts, or if it’s a bug in WordPress itself. (It honestly feels like some well-intentioned “protection” from SQL injection.) Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

No User Generated, Private browser logon only

Replies: 2

I installed this plugin and configured the .htaccess file as well as the plugin settings. There are two problems, though.
1. Shib logon screen only appears in private browsers.
2. When a login is successful via shibboleth (in private browser) the user is not generated in WordPress.
Has anyone ever experienced this or know why this is happening?

Account merging with different email addresses gives error

mwillberg — Fri, 22 Jan 2021 08:48:39 +0000

Replies: 3

I have migrated from LDAP based authentication and there are local accounts present. The domains have also changed in the email addresses.

When old user tries to login, shibboleth part works, but there is an error “not sufficient access”. New user creation is disabled.

wordpress: demouser / [email protected]

shibboleth: demouser / [email protected]

I have tried different “combine local and shibboleth accounts” options, but without success. The user can login when the option is in “allow automatic account merging, bypass username management” AND i have MANUALLY edited the users profile to have the new email address.

This should not be necessary as email addresses tend to change and only “eppn” is static.

Have I missed an option or any suggestions ?

Hello,
We have a correctly working Shibboleth SP and we know it’s working because on the IP side the session tokens are correctly generated, but when users are redirected back to wp-login nothing happpens… They’re not logged in to WP.

I’m using these settings:
– HTTPS Headers as attribute access (we’re behind a proxy)
– Fallback attribute access
– Automatic Login

All other options are the default. How should I go about debugging the issue? I have enabled all the logs, but don’t see anything relevant.

Help configure Shibd in a proxy

Hi.

I’m trying to add shibbolth authentication to a service but I’m having some issues.

I will try to explain my problem.

I have a machine where wordpress is and I will call it as WPSERVER
The machine is under a proxy server and it will be PXSERVER

The WPSERVER RESPONDS AS PXSERVER i.e when someone types PXSERVER/ABC the machine that handles the request is indeed WPSERVER/ABC but as HOME and SITEURL are defined as PXSERVER it will respond as PXSERVER/ABC.

We are trying to add a shibboleth authentication and have configured our shibboleth2.xml accordingly but we’re having some problems, specially the entityID mapped is different form the Bindings in the SP Metadata.
Examples: entityID is PXSERVER/sp/shibboleth
WPSERVER/sp/Shibboleth.sso/Login”/>

or
Binding=”urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST” Location=”https://WPSERVER/sp/Shibboleth.sso/SAML2/POST”

Can someone give some help as I don’t know what we are doing wrong?

Note: I tried a differen RequestMapper and an ApplicationOverride with no effect.
If I remove the proxy and define HOME and SITEURL AS WPSERVER works as it should but that is not what we want.

Thanks in advance.

Create new local user not possible

For the moment the plugin shibboleth version 2.1.1 is installed. I cannot update, as the university didn’t update the serverside software.

My questions: I upgraded my WP Version to Version Nr 5.5.1., then following happened.

1. I think there is a conflict now with the PublishPress Permissions plugin now (with this plugin I can assign editor rights for a specific user to a specific page). When I edit the page, and I want to list the users, no users are found. Before the update this was possible.

2. What is not possible is that I cannot add a normal local user. Could this also be a conflict with Shibboleth?

Thank you for your help.

I am still trying to figure out a fix for the issues we are having with with Shibboleth 2 doing infinite loop when ANY user logs in to the sites on the network. It does not appear to loop on the “main” site. But anything that is the “multisite” network, the loop happens, even with super-admin login.

Put in correct username password, it just loop through https://webauth.service.ohio-state.edu/idp/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO?execution=e3s1 until it eventually times out.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here are the files I thought might be helpful for you to review for me.

.htaccess file
RewriteEngine On

# Force SSL

#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} ^off$ [NC]
#RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R=301,NE,QSA]

# Force HTTPS

RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^(www\.)?(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%2/$1 [L,R=301,NE,QSA]

# Allow Shib urls
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Shibboleth.sso($|/)
RewriteRule . – [L]

#Shib

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

# END WordPress

This might be completely messed up, but I tried to adjust code to work on PHP 7 and the new WordPress version.

shibboleth-mu.php

// include regular Shibboleth plugin file
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/shibboleth/shibboleth.php’;

function shibboleth_muplugins_loaded() {
add_filter(‘shibboleth_plugin_path’, function($p) {
echo($p);
return WPMU_PLUGIN_URL . “/shibboleth”;} );
}
add_action(‘muplugins_loaded’, ‘shibboleth_muplugins_loaded’);
?>

Log Out from IDP not closing WordPress Session

Hi,

we are working on a WP Application with the Plugin. Everthing works fine, except when logging out from the IDP Website the WP session is still active and the user is still logged in.

Backwards: logging out at the WP instance all sessions are closed correctly.

How can we force the WP session to be closed when the user logged out at the IDP website?

Thank you in advance

Password Protect Specific Pages

mikecorreia — Thu, 22 Aug 2019 19:56:15 +0000

Replies: 2

Hi
I am building out a new WordPress site at my work. Most of the pages on the site will be public, but we would like some pages to be password protected. We use Shibboleth to manage our user accounts and ideally we would like specific pages to force a visitor to have to log in using their account username/password.

Is this something this plugin can do? If not, is there a plugin that exists that can work with Shibboleth to do that? I apologize if this is not the place to ask these questions and appreciate any information provided. Thanks!

Clarification of Default Role: None, accounts still created with no role mapping

jakramer — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 22:41:55 +0000

Replies: 3

According to the help text in the Authorization configuration section,

“If a user does not map into any of the roles above, they will be placed into the default role. If there is no default role, the user will not be able to log in with Shibboleth.”

However, with no role mappings specified and Default Role set to (none), accounts are still created and users can still log in (albeit with no additional access).

I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding the intent or if I have something misconfigured.

The desired behavior is to not create accounts for users with no role mapping. Is it possible to do that?

I read through previous discussion of this issue here
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/automatically-create-accounts-option-issues/
and here:
https://github.com/michaelryanmcneill/shibboleth/issues/22

but I’m still not clear whether this is possible at this time.

Thanks and apologies if I’m just not getting it.

Issues with multisite not provisioning users on all network sites

David E. Smith — Tue, 29 Jan 2019 22:39:39 +0000

Replies: 3

I’ve used the Shibboleth plugin successfully on hundreds of single WordPress installs, and first off, I’d like to thank everyone who works on it. Y’all are awesome.

We’re exploring implementing multisite, and have created a test network of three sites. The plugin is active at the network level, instead of at the site level (this prevents the owners of individual sites from inadvertently breaking the Shib settings, and should make it easier to add new sites to the network if we wish). I used more-or-less the same settings we use for all our single-site installs, with only a few changes (in particular, making the login URL relative instead of absolute). I’ve enabled the ‘Automatically create accounts’ setting, allowing automatic merging and disallowing manual merging. Our sites’ default role is ‘Subscriber’.

When a new user (one that doesn’t already have an account on the network) visits any site in the network, the account is provisioned as I would expect — the network-level account is created, and the account is granted Subscriber privileges on whatever specific site the user first hit. But when that user visits another site in the network, they are not automatically granted the default role for that site. I’m still trying to narrow down exactly what happens when, but either that user is redirected to /wp-admin/ for their “first” site (the one where their Subscriber account was first provisioned), or the user gets the WordPress screen saying that they don’t have any role on that site (listing the one site where they do have a role).

Is this an intentional design choice, or a bug? If the former, what was the logic behind the choice? If the latter, how can I help diagnose and fix it? (Are there any network-level hooks I should be using to work around this, instead of having the plugin handle it?)

custom complexe computation of ROLE from shibboleth attribute

olobry — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 08:40:56 +0000

Replies: 3

I’d like to compute a ROLE based on the attributes returned by shibboleth.
This is not a simple mapping, this is a real computation (with many ifs/then) because the attributes on which the computation is done depends on which Idp as been used to log in (I’m using a Discovery Service) and this is very heterogeneous.
So my question is: how to extend the plugin to do that. I saw the shibboleth_roles and shibboleth_user_role but I’m not sure they can help…
Did anyone already done something similar ?

Best regards

“Log in with Shibboleth” not redirecting

Just installed this plugin (v2.1.1) on v4.9.8, and set up the Login URL/other settings/etc.

I’m running into an issue where it seems I’m not getting redirected into the shibboleth authentication flow, when I hit the “Log in with Shibboleth” button on the login page, it redirects me to the same login page with ?action=shibboleth but never takes me anywhere. Am I missing some setup?

Thanks in advance.

Once enabled, where are logs stored?

David E. Smith — Tue, 07 Aug 2018 13:06:37 +0000

Replies: 3

Version 2.1 of the plugin says it’s added various logging options, and there is indeed a new tab in the Shibboleth plugin’s admin screen where logging options can be set.

Where do the logs actually go, though? I can’t readily find anything in the WordPress admin interface that looks relevant, and I wouldn’t expect this plugin to start adding things to the Web server logs. (Too many different Web servers, it’d be hard to support.)

I skimmed the code, and at first glance I didn’t see anything that looked like it was actually using the logging settings, but I’m far from an expert developer and may not know what to look for.

Loop issue

forswebmaster — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 07:17:39 +0000

Hello,

I installed the shibboleth plugin (v. 2.1.1) on a 4.9.7 wordpress instance and I tried to configure the shibboleth login without success.
I did almost no changes to the default plugin configuration (only auto login plus user configuration). Here is a description of the issue :

– When I try to login with shibboleth, I am redirected to my IDP for login
– I selected my institution in the list
– I enter my credentials and submit them
– Then I am again redirected to the institution selection list, again and again

Then I tried to dig a little further. First by looking at which URLs are called. I noticed that the URLs n° 8 to 11 (see below) are called again and again.

I also tried to trace what was happening in the plugin flow. I noticed that when the function “shibboleth_session_active) is called, the $_SERVER array does not contain any Shibboleth variable (like Shib-Session-ID).

Another strange thing is when I open a new tab, and type in my website address (`https://test.example.org/), I am logged in and can then access the wp-admin part. On a new tab, accessing a page with phpinfo, I can see that all shibboleth variables are set.

Could you please help me solving this issue ? Do you have any clue about the cause of this, or if it is a bug ?

Thanks in advance for your answer

Role based on Null value

timmmmyboy — Mon, 14 May 2018 13:27:44 +0000

Replies: 2

I have a use case where an org wants to set a subscriber role if a particular header has an empty attribute. The header could have several different values assigned to it and all of those would be fine to get the default role but if the header value is empty they’d like the user’s role to be subscriber. Is that something that could work with the current plugin or something I could make minor modifications to work?

Login Loop (WP 4.9.5, Apache 2.4.)

I’ve installed the Shibboleth plugin for my WordPress site. When trying to log in via Shibboleth, WP directs to my IdP, but after logging in, ends up in a loop:

https://my-idp.org/idp/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO?SAMLRequest=(dada)&etc…
https://mysite.org/Shibboleth.sso/SAML2/POST
https://mysite.org/wordpress/wp-login.php?action=shibboleth

I’m running Apache 2.4.6, Shibboleth 2.6.1, WP 4.9.5. My WP is not in the site root, it’s at https://mysite.org/wordpress/. Any idea where to start looking for the cause?
