Hello all,
I have a problem trying to insert metadata attributes to an EPerson while
authenticating with Shibboleth. The problematic option in
authentication-shibboleth.cfg is the option eperson.metadata. I have set
this option to
eperson.metadata = ou => ou
I have created a field ou in the eperson metadata schema and I have a field
ou in my Shibboleth headers. But authentication fails with this error
message:
2017-01-04 10:51:01,887 ERROR org.dspace.authenticate.ShibAuthentication @
Unable to successfully authenticate using shibboleth for user because of an
exception.
java.lang.NullPointerException

org.dspace.authenticate.ShibAuthentication.updateEPerson(ShibAuthentication.java:822)
at
org.dspace.authenticate.ShibAuthentication.authenticate(ShibAuthentication.java:221)
(...)
I guess, the problem is, that some value is not set correctly, but I do not
see the exact point of failure.
I'm using DSpace 5.6.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Oliver
