Wrong redirect URL after shibboleth login

[David Williams]

Hi all -

I appear to have been bitten by the bug submitted here:

https://jira.lyrasis.org/browse/DS-4139

Because I'm running DSpace from the root context, an extra slash is added to the return URL, based on this directive:

 if (!(port == 443 || port == 80))

     returnURL += ":" + port;

 returnURL += "/" + contextPath + "/shibboleth-login"; 

Under the circumstances, my contextPath is empty, so I  end up with https://myserver.edu//shiboleth-login, which means the authentication attributes never make it to DSpace (I think).

I'd like to add an if/else conditional test along the lines of if (contextPath == null || contextPath.length() == 0) returnURL += "/shibboleth-login"; else and then recompile the java class.

How can I do that and subsequently recompile and reinstall only this updated shibboleth authentication class?

Thanks,

- Dave Williams
