Extension talk:SSL authentication

Support for MW 1.16.0!
I just downloaded and tested this one with mediawiki 1.16.0 - and it seems if there's happening absolutely nothing. I added in front of my LocalSettings.php the Variables + the function call - and a short debug output gives me all variables right. So i think there has to be an error in SSLAuthPlugin.php - but there is neither an errormessage nor login or visual function of this plugin? What is going wrong? I figured it out... there are some changes in AuthPlugin etc... i will publish it if i've proved if it works well.

Re-negotiation handshake failed: Not accepted by client!?
Using "current" versions of MediaWiki (1.15.5) Apache (2.2.16) and Openssl (1.0.0a) and the SSL client authentication only for the mediawiki subdirectory this extensions always causes the error "Re-negotiation handshake failed: Not accepted by client!?" in the apache error log. On the client side (Firefox 3.6.12) you get then an "Errorcode: ssl_error_handshake_unexpected_alert". On other apache directories using exactly the same config in apache or Mediawiki with this extension disabled everything works fine. Mediaj 15:43, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Does anybody watch this page?

Not sure what to change in the localsettings.php to get the app to work
Ok I have this loaded on mediawiki 1.15.1 and I have the SSL auth working on Apache. Not sure what I need to do to get the wiki to auto login. I need some direction on what the next step is. What if anything needs to be tweaked in the localsettings.php.

 * Well check the extension page, it's said there. Datenritter 11:28, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Is there any way to have both login and ssl auth on the same wiki
Just wondering if there was a way to have login and ssl auth, what if I had 2 virtual machines in apache that went to the same wiki, 1 with the ssl auth and 1 without, would that do the job?

--Johnp125 12:45, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You could install two wikis with the same DB and make only one use the extension. I think it should work. Datenritter 16:33, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Working on integrating this into the LDAP Authentication plugin
This plugin is great, and exactly what I was looking for. I'll be integrating this into my LDAP Authentication plugin. I've been looking for documentation on how to do this for the past couple of weeks, but this plugin fits my need perfectly.

Thanks for the great work!

Little bug
Great work :), but when I enter my site first time in browsers session - I am not logged. The problem is probably in file SSLAuthPlugin.php in function SSLAuth:

SEARCH: //If exists, log them in   if($tmpuser->getID != 0) {       $wgUser = &$tmpuser; $wgUser->setCookies; $wgUser->setupSession; return; } REPLACE WITH: //If exists, log them in   if($tmpuser->getID != 0) {       $wgUser = &$tmpuser; $wgUser->setupSession; // Before cookies! $wgUser->setCookies; return; }

-- Krzysztof Kozlowski

tested with mediawiki 1.9?
Anyone else tried this out? I'm having a hell of a time getting it to work out.

Re - MediaWiki 1.9
Tested, but following changes were needed in SSLAuthPlugin.php: FIND: $tmpuser = User::LoadFromSession; REPLACE WITH: $tmpuser = new User ; $tmpuser->LoadFromSession; FIND: $tmpuser = User::newFromName($ssl_UN); REPLACE WITH: unset($tmpuser) ; $tmpuser = new User ; $tmpuser = $tmpuser->newFromName($ssl_UN);

And works OK

Is it worth investigating if the work done for x509 integration with 1.4.x tree as part of GridSiteWiki can be reused?

$ssl_map_info = "true";
 * 1) Feel free to use extra PHP code to munge the variables if you'd like
 * 2) Additionally if you wish to only map some of the name data, set this to true
 * 3) and either blank ssl_RN and ssl_email or comment them out entirely.

$olderror = error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
 * 1) Ssssh.... quiet down errors

$ssl_RN = strtolower($_SERVER['SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN']);
 * 1) Map Real Name from certificate
 * 2) Can be DN but is it right?


 * 1) MW username is required to map to something
 * 2) You should beware of possible namespace collisions, it is best to chose
 * 3) something that will not violate MW's usual restrictions on characters

$search = array ('/Ã¥/i', '/Ã¤/i', '/Ã¶/i', '/Ã©/i'); $replace = array ('a', 'a', 'o', 'e');
 * 1) Just using Firstname + Lastname from Certificate 'will' make collisions... but what to use?
 * 2) UN could be md5-hash of DN, but its ugly to use...

$nom = explode(" ",$_SERVER['SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN']);

$firstname = $nom[0]; $firstname = preg_replace($search, $replace, $firstname);

$lastname = $nom[1]; $lastname = preg_replace($search, $replace, $lastname);

$ssl_email = $_SERVER['SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_Email'];
 * 1) Map e-mail to something close?

error_reporting($olderror);
 * 1) Turn error reporting back on

SSLAuthSetup;
 * 1) Activate SSL Plugin

i've just modify some variables to be working with my AC. Did you have any Idea ? Thanks

Bug?
When I install the extension as advised, I got the following error in Apache's error_log:

[Wed May 30 08:26:57 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.2] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method User::newfromsession in /srv/www/htdocs/mediawiki/extensions/SSLAuthPlugin.php on line 223

My MediaWiki version is 1.8.2 and my PHP version is 5.2.0 on openSuSE 10.2.

Thanks for any hint

Work in progress
Hi,

No work has been done from me the last time but now I'm back. I have noticed that MediaWiki 1.10.0 and Extension:SSL authentication don't work so well, actually not at all... Djcapelis, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Markus and others has contibuted in the past. Thanks! If you, or someone else has more tips or solutions, please help. I use MeliaWiki 1.7.1 at work but its time to upgrade. :-)

SSL auth and MediaWiki 1.10.0
Problem - with "Internal error :" replace if($value == 'AutoAuth') (...) $wgHooks['AutoAuthenticate'][$key] = 'AutoAuth'; with if($value == 'SSLAuth') (...) $wgHooks['AutoAuthenticate'][$key] = 'SSLAuth';

Krzysztof Kozłowski --217.153.130.210 12:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

SSL Auth and MediaWiki 1.10.0 - new version
Tested with 1.10.0 and works OK but I haven't done many tests (simple usage, auto-login, etc.). Probably wont work with 1.7 and 1.8 (<1.10). Previous error: Original exception: exception 'MWException' with message 'Unstub loop detected on call of $wgUser->getOption from StubUserLang::_newObject (when user did not exist in database) has been fixed.

Problems with national characters in CN
Hi, Your extension works, but only when users don't have national characters in CN (altough login is email...). Can You help me with it? (from 217.74.68.2)
 * I used to have that problem in earier versions of MediaWiki (1.7.x) but now when I upgraded to 1.10.0 swedish national characters works fine. Take a look at my LocalSettings.php in http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:SSL_authentication&oldid=99654 to see how I solved it then. MaJoh 09:19, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Tanks for your job !

 * As a quick-and-dirty fix, add return values to every hook: "return true;" for NoLogout, SSLAuth and BringBackAA, and change the "return;" in the middle of SSLAuth to a "return false;". Results may vary, since I have no idea how any of this actually works - I chose the return values arbitrarily, and I also don't know if SSLAuthSetup needs a return value. But this seems to work for me. --Meeg

MediaWiki 1.13.0
Does this extension work with MediaWiki 1.13.0? I've added all the strings as needed, but it doesn't authorize me. Can someone help?

Looks like the AutoAuthenticate hook has been replaced in 1.13.

Does anyone have this working? The experimental version below does not work for my stock Ubuntu install. --September 1, 2009

Experimental version for MW 1.13
I made an experimental version of the extension for MW 1.13, based on the latest version of the Shibboleth authentication extension. If you'd like to try it, grab it from the git repo here:

http://github.com/dhess/sslauthplugin/tree/master

Please note that I'm not an experienced MediaWiki extension author, so this version may have bugs or security flaws. So far, anyway, "it works for me."

Please contact me (see my GitHub page) if you have any problems with it or discover any bugs. --Dhess 06:55, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
