Can you enable debug logging for Shibboleth in DSpace by adding this line
"log4j.logger.org.dspace.authenticate.ShibAuthentication=DEBUG" to
the config/log4j.properties file and retry with the following settings:
- Use AJP
- Make sure to have attributePrefix="AJP_" in your
ApplicationDefaults element
- Make sure to proxy to the AJP connector with a buffer that is large
enough:
- We always use
- ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/ retry=0
- ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/
- ProxyIOBufferSize 65536
- Make sure the connector is enabled in the Tomcat server.xml
file and supports UTF-8 encoding and large packages:
- <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443"
URIEncoding="UTF-8" packetSize="65536"/>
- Secure the correct location
- If you run DSpace under the root of your server, make sure this is
- <Location "/shibboleth-login">
- If you run DSpace under the the URL "/dspace", the location
should be
- <Location "/dspace/shibboleth-login">
- Make sure there are no double slashes in the redirect URL your
browser receives (which is the case in your first example).
- Since you are using Apache 2.4 and Shibboleth 2.5, please replace the
following in your Apache configuration:
- Replace "ShibRequireSession On" by "ShibRequestSetting
requireSession 1"
- Replace "ShibRequireSession Off" by "ShibRequestSetting
requireSession 0"
- You can leave the values for lazysession.secure and the DSpace netid
and email header settings as you configured them.
Can you also test this:
- Shutdown tomcat and visit <dspace-url>/shibboleth-login after closing
all browser windows. This should take you to your IdP login page even if
DSpace is not running.
- Have you tried without AJP and using "ShibUseHeaders On" (note that
this is less secure and not recommended, but it would still be interesting
to know if this works).
I'm interested to see what the DSpace logs show when you execute these
tests. Please also provide some information on the redirect URLs you are
seeing.
