| == Prerequisites ==
| | #REDIRECT [[REMOTE_USER_Authentication]] |
| | |
| * installed functional Shibboleth module in Apache2 (or SW with similar functionality). The installation is beyond the scope of this document.
| |
| * installed any other auth module which knows to send username via REMOTE_USER server variable (e.g. mod_auth_openidc or mod_auth_mellon)
| |
| | |
| == How does it work ==
| |
| | |
| When enabled in the GUI settings then the GUI search for the REMOTE_USER header (provided by Shibboleth sp) and uses it as auth user.
| |
| | |
| == Configuration ==
| |
| | |
| * enable it with GUI->Settings->System configuration : Use Shibboleth/REMOTE_USER for auth
| |
| * it still requires some GUI's users for privileges settings
| |
| * One user can be setup as default user for Shibboleth. See 'Default Shibboleth/REMOTE_USER account' checkbox in GUI->Users & Audit->Users -> selected user
| |
| | |
| == Usage ==
| |
| | |
| * after the Shibboleth/REMOTE_USER auth the GUI's Shibboleth/REMOTE_USER button will appear in GUI login dialog
| |
| * after clicking on this button the content of REMOTE_USER header is used as the user in the GUI database for getting user's privileges
| |
| * if an user is not found then the user with set checkbox 'Default Shibboleth/REMOTE_USER account' is used (if set)
| |
| * login is done
| |
| | |
| == Logout ==
| |
| | |
| * the Shibboleth logout URL is constructed from Shib-Handler header + '/Logout' string. If not available then from HTTP_HOST header + '/Shibboleth.sso/Logout' string.
| |
| * if you want to use custom Logout URL then set it in GUI->Settings->System configuration : Logout URL for Shibboleth/REMOTE_USER
| |
| | |
| == Disable Login window ==
| |
| | |
| * you can disable the login window completely with GUI->Settings->System configuration : Disable login window completely
