Extension talk:CASAuthentication

Hello,

I've had some difficulties having your extension redirect to our cas server so I changed a condition. Moreover, we previously used ldap plugin as auth backend and would prefer to keep it active as backend (if our cas server crashed, we would need the documentation in the wiki ;-)

Here's a small patch about this :

19d18 < 33c32 < $wgHooks['UserLoginForm'][] = 'CASOverrideLoginPage'; --- > #$wgHooks['UserLoginForm'][] = 'CASOverrideLoginPage'; 90,93c89,91 < <    if (isset($_REQUEST['title'])) { <        if ($_REQUEST['title'] == 'Special:UserLogin') { <            # Initialise common code --- > >     if ( $_SESSION['wsUserName'] == NULL && $_REQUEST['title'] != 'Special:Connexion') { > 102a101 > 107c106 < --- > 132c131 <                      $user = $u; --- >          $user = $u; 134,136c133,135 <         } else     if ($_REQUEST['title'] == 'Special:Userlogout') { <            phpCAS::logout; <        } --- > #        } else     if ($_REQUEST['title'] == 'Special:Userlogout') { > #           phpCAS::logout; > #      }

Confusion Regarding Require Statements
I think you need to be more specific regarding the two conflicting require_once statements:

require_once( $IP."/extensions/CASAuth/CASAuth.php" );

vs.

require_once( $IP."/extensions/CASAuthentication/CASAuth.php" );

Also... what is this supposed to mean?

$_phpCasPath = "$IP/extensions/CASAuth/CAS";

Log-out problems
I found that log-outs were not fully successful as they left MediaWiki with a still-intact session after phpCAS::logout was called. Making the following change to the extension causes MediaWiki to go through its full logout process and then call the casLogout function via its UserLogoutComplete hook.

143,147c143,145 <        } else if ($_REQUEST['title'] == $lg->specialPage('Userlogout')) { <            //needed to logout <            phpCAS::client($_phpCASVersion,$_phpCASURL,$_phpCASPort,$_phpCASURLsub); <            phpCAS::logout; <        } --- >         } else if ($_REQUEST['title'] == $lg->specialPage('Userlogout')) { >            $user->logout; >        }

session data
I tried using your extension and I was able to get it to half work, I found that according to phpCAS, I'm logged in however mediawiki still treats me as an anonymous user. It seems to me that there is a problem communicating the sessions data between CASphp and mediawiki, do you have any ideas on what could be causing this problem? thanks for any help that you can give redekopmark 17:59, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
