| Summary | 08451: No webserver auth and errors accessing the webserver auth options | ||||
| Description | Hi, I am preparing an upgrade of our 200+ intranet LimeSurvey tools from version 1.92+ to 2.05+. We use Kerbros SSO based by an Apache web server and currently our web server auth code is located in the config.php. It's really good to see the webserverauth with autocreate plugin so I was excited to use that. Unfortunately it's not working. I installed a stand-alone LS 205+ tool in a 'kerborised' directory on the webserver. It's a fresh install with a new database. I tried the following:
When I access the /admin/ dir of my LS installation I still get the normal login box. The settings page of the webserver auth plugin returns an error regarding the $settings var (Images attached). Even when I tried setting the var's in the lime_plugins_settings table I still don't get webserver auth. | ||||

I think you are using latest git and not the package offered for download. Please update to latest git again and it should work again. |
 |
I dowloaded the latest stable from this page: http://www.limesurvey.org/en/download (Where it says LS 2.00 btw). And the the latest version link: |

Hi Menno, sorry to keep bothering you. I Reopen this ticket because it still won't work correctly. I added your changes to the codebase I have installed. The settings view now works fine. The webserverauth plugin was activated and the settings have been set (tried both config-defaults and config.php). I enabled the webserverauth and auto-create option. The beforeLogin() method seems to complete just fine but the newUserSession method is never reached. setAuthPlugin() returns a large object of which some properties contain my account (as available in $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] The error I am getting is an infinite loop browser error. When I look at the webserver accesslog it keeps requesting ../admin/authentication/sa/login over and over again. |

The problem is probably that when you go to /admin it redirects to /index.php/admin. The trick you should try to figure out is how to preserve the remote user also for the root of limesurvey. Please report back if and how you got it working. Probably more users will have the same problem. Since 1.92 we have only one entry point for both admin and public part. If you search the bugtracker a little on this subject I added a comment somewhere about putting the config in the apache config instead of .htaccess to prevent redirect problems. Not sure if that works. |

BlizzRD, feeback please? |
|
|
Sure, will give it a try with the new 2.05+ |
|
|
Ok, tested it at home:
I tested it setting the $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] in the root index.php (I have no Kerberos SSO at home ;) ) Tomorrow I will try it in our corporate env. with Kerberos enabled. Will keep you posted! |
|
|
Ok, tested it at work. Works with Kerberos now. Thank you! |

2.05+ Build 140125 released |
