Problem with Shibboleth login

[joe chow]

Hi everyone,

I am working on a test with Shibboleth login with Dataverse v5.5 and there is an issue in creating the account after login via Shibboleth.

When I create a builtin account with username test_user, and then login via Shibboleth using test_user@testemail, after clicking the create account button, it can create an account for the Shibboleth user with username test_user1. 

However, when I create 2 builtin accounts with username test_user and test_user1, and then login via Shibboleth using test_user@testemail and click the create account button, it keeps loading and cannot create a new account. I checked AuthenticationServiceBean.java(v5.5), and it seems that it loops in the while loop in from line 635 to line 637. Is it a normal situation?

Thanks,

Joe

Joe,

- Looks like a simple bug that still exists at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/4947992656db4bb1b4da5ce3d33c0f16146176e2/src/main/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/authorization/AuthenticationServiceBean.java#L624-L627 – the loop should be incrementing i and then updating the identifier as well, but identifier isn’t being updated so it keeps checking for, in your case, test_user1 forever.  It would be useful if you can submit a bug report at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse and feel free to add a pull request if you want to make the change yourself.
