Topic on Extension talk:GoogleAppsAuthentification

Sorry I don't know if it's the correct place to voice out questions - correct me if it's not.

I just did what you told me last night (29 Aug 2011). I was correctly redirected to the Google Apps login page, and also the subsequent "XXXXXXXX (my URL) wants to access the following information" (etc.). But then I was stopped at an error with only 1 line of output: "OpenID authentication failed: Nonce already used or out of range". Any clue on this?

Thanks! I love this great extension - simple, easy to use, just great.

Did you make sure the tmp folder is writable ? Do you see the nounce files being created ?

One thing is that we found that the extension doesn't work too well on a Windows setup - for some reason it started to work with a linux box only... Maybe a lead for you !

Oh yeah problem solved.

1) I just noticed that the tmp folder that came with the OpenID library (as linked from the wiki page) was actually NOT empty. And so when I am setting the correct permissions to it, I need to recursively chmod-ing it. That is, " chmod -R 777 tmp " instead of " chmod 777 tmp ".

2) Once I have made the #1 change, I encountered another error of "undefined function: FileCache::singleton() on line 2726 of includes/GlobalFunctions.php", even when I used a new browser to browse the wiki. My mediawiki was an old one, 1.14 version. I didn't touch any configuration concerning FileCache (and it should default to "false" ?) The problem doesn't go away even I switch on or off FileCache in LocalSettings.php. My solution was to (dirtily) amend GlobalFunctions.php and comment out that if() block and use only the else block. (very dirty indeed!)
