Allow anonymous user and scoped role header in Shibboleth auth method
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DS-187
URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-187
Project: DSpace 1.x
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: DSpace API
Affects Versions: 1.5.2
Reporter: Andrea Bollini
This issue has been created from the follow up of the DS-48 issue.
Stuart Hicks, Systems Engineer at OhioLINK, has been working with a slightly
older version of the patch than what was released today and found two things
that we need in our environment:
# Anonymous users - We can't guarantee that we'll get an eppn, email address,
or much of anything else from the schools except the mandatory affiliation
values. This is the issue that the attached patch addresses. Anonymous users
are defaulted to a preset account dictated by the email-default value in
dspace.cfg
# Scoping - The authentication.shib.role handlers need to support scoping as we
use eduPersonScopedAffiliation attributes rather than the unscoped variety.
Here's the text from his patch (based on an earlier version) to allow
anonymous, but Shibboleth authenticated users. Would it be possible to get this
change incorporated into the main codebase?:
