SID-02499: SSO using shibboleth and apache for twiki issues

Status: Asked Asked TWiki version: 6.1.0 Perl version: v5.26.3
Category: CategoryAuthentication Server OS: 4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64 Last update: 2 years ago

I am following https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/HowToEnableSingleSignOn to enable SSO for my twiki installation. I am not able to currently make out where and how to define mapping config for REMOTE_USER as per step 6 given in mentioned blog above. I have edited below config files as part of this exercise - /httpd/conf/httpd.conf

/twiki/twiki.conf

/etc/shibboleth/shibboleth2.xml

twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg

twiki/bin/.htaccess.txt

I am able to create/register users and login for my twiki installation and now i want to enable SSO using shibboleth. Please help me with above query if anyone has done a similar exercise.

Discussion and Answer

All TWiki needs is the REMOTE_USER environment variable, set by your shibboleth configuration. I believe in TWiki configure you need to set {LoginManager} to TWiki::LoginManager::ApacheLogin

Thanks Peter. Do you have any sample configuration for REMOTE_USER variable ?

I am not familiar with shibboleth, so I can't help you out on how to configure it to set the REMOTE_USER environment variable
