Extension:SimpleSAMLphp/zh

The SimpleSAMLphp extension extends the extension to provide authentication using SimpleSAMLphp. It is primarily designed to support SP-initiated authentication flows with just-in-time provisioning of user accounts.

配置
Values must be provided for the following mandatory configuration variables:

In addition, the following optional configuration variables are provided:

Add the plugin to :

Do not lowercase usernames
By default, usernames are lowercased. The original case can be kept by setting:



定义用户信息提供者
If you want to modify any of the fields,   or   before login, for instance, if your SAML source does not provide an explicit username attribute and you want to use the email address without the domain for the username, you can configure a custom callback for. To create the object a valid ObjectFactory specification must be configured.

For simple usecases one can use, assuming your email attribute is called   (if it's called something else, change the two instances of   to  ):

Make sure to also set  in the   of the   field:

Group mapping
Use case: your SAML IdP reads groups from LDAP or Database and stores this information inside an attribute of the SAML response. You want to use this to map MediaWiki groups to users belonging to some known groups given by your IdP.

Example:


 * Your IdP sends an attribute named "groups" with a list of names like "administrator", "student", "teacher", ... in the SAML response after authentication.
 * All users that have the value "administrator" in the "groups" attribute shall be mapped to the MediaWiki "sysop" group to give them admin rights within your MediaWiki instance.
 * Create a group map in your LocalSettings.php as follows:

You can come up with rather complex mappings that fit your needs. If you have more than one attribute from SAML, just add it to the array with the array of values you like to map.

If a MediaWiki group does not exist, it will be created "on the fly" on first successful mapping of a user.

Group mapping #2
Since version 4.3 one can also configure an alternative group synchronization mechanism. Besides the default "MapGroups" one can use "SyncAllGroups", which takes all groups from the SAML response and assign the user to them.

To do so, add the following to the :

If the IdP returns group names that are not suitable for the wiki, one can set up a callback to modify the group names. E.g. some IdP-Setups may return LDAP-DNs like "CN=Admin,OU=Groups,DC=SomeDomain". One could then specify in :

Processing arbitrary data from the SAML response
The "attribute processors" can also be used to handle arbitrary data from the SAML response. In this case one must first create a new PHP class that implements the  interface. For convenience the base class  can be used, which has a proper factory callback and constructor implemented. An example

It then needs to be instantiated by using the.

Debugging
SSO can be difficult to configure correctly, especially for first-time sysadmins tasked with connecting their new MediaWiki instance to the company's IdP. The PluggableAuth and SimpleSAMLphp extensions themselves are quite stable, so most issues are usually associated with configuration.

To start debugging, set to a filepath on your local system. You do not need to set $wgShowExceptionDetails to true; in fact, you probably shouldn't, due to security concerns.

Visit your wiki, and try logging in with PluggableAuth. Once you have encountered your error, visit the debug file and look for lines that start with  and.

If there was an issue with authentication, the debug log will say  somewhere.

The SimpleSAMLphp extension works like this:


 * 1) User clicks on SSO login button on wiki.
 * 2) User is taken to Special:PluggableAuthLogin. It detects the wiki is using Extension:SimpleSAMLphp. SimpleSAMLphp (the software, not the extension) detects no login session has been set yet.
 * 3) Special:PluggableAuthLogin calls Extension:SimpleSAMLphp's   function, which calls SimpleSAMLphp's API to begin the authentication process.
 * 4) SimpleSAMLphp redirects user to the IdP's login page.
 * 5) After user successfully authenticates with IdP, it generates an assertion and redirects to your local SimpleSAMLphp instance's ACS (assertion consumer service) URL, which then redirects to the wiki's Special:PluggableAuthLogin.
 * 6) Special:PluggableAuthLogin now recognizes the session cookie and handles logging the user in.

If you are encountering a login redirect loop, the authentication process will never have a chance to log either an error or success message. This indicates that the call to SimpleSAMLphp's  method never finishes, which means SimpleSAMLphp is trying to start the auth process all over again. This is usually because it is not detecting the login session despite it being set. Make sure you are not making common mistakes, such as leaving store.type in your SimpleSAMLphp configuration as phpsession instead of changing it to another method, or putting your SimpleSAMLphp instance on a different domain than your wiki without a proper proxy. (For instance, if your SimpleSAMLphp instance is at the canonical domain  but your wiki is located at , the session will never be stored on   and Special:PluggableAuthLogin will redirect back to the IdP instead of logging the user in, creating a login loop.)

If you are encountering an error message on Special:PluggableAuthLogin after a successful redirect from the IdP, there is probably a PluggableAuth/SimpleSAMLphp misconfiguration in your LocalSettings.php. Check to see if you properly configured your attributes. The attributes may sometimes need to be URLs (such as if you are using Azure Active Directory).



Session handler collision between MediaWiki and SimpleSAML Service Provider
If you are using MediaWiki 1.27 or later with PluggableAuth 2.0 or later, problems have been observed when SimpleSAMLphp is configured to use phpsession for store.type. This may be due to T147161. To fix this, use a different store type in the configuration of the SimpleSAMLphp software by adjusting simplesamlphp/config/config.php (see https://simplesamlphp.org/docs/stable/simplesamlphp-maintenance#section_2_3). For example, for SQLite, use:

'store.type' => 'sql', 'store.sql.dsn' => 'sqlite:/path/where/the/apache/user/can/write/sqlitedatabase.sq3',

For MySQL, use:

'store.type' => 'sql', 'store.sql.dsn' => 'mysql:host=xxx;port=xxx;dbname=xxx', 'store.sql.username' => 'xxx', 'store.sql.password' => 'xxx',

Logout error message
Since MediaWiki 1.35 by default (Skin "Vector") the logout is no longer performed by calling "Special:Logout", but by an XHR POST request. This is not compatible to how SAML works and will result in an error message (see screenshot).

As a workaround, one can change the "Logout" link to point to "Special:Logout" again by adding

to the  file.
