proper use of drupalauth4ssp

[Julio Castillo]

I have a setup using Drupal 6 and SimpleSAMLphp

 

I have configured the following:

- Drupal 6.0 (will be my ID provider)

- SimpleSAMLphp library

- drupalauth (both as a SimpleSAML module and drupal module)

 

Prior to installing drupalauth as a Drupal module I was able to do the following:

- login into Drupal

- initiate login request to new remote App and have it be redirected to SimpleSAML login page

- successfully login into SimpleSAML and redirect to my new remote App

 

I have a couple of questions:

 

Question 1. What is the role of the drupalauth Drupal module (drupalauth4ssp) ?

I later added it (drupalauth4ssp) and I can see and administer from Drupal. I configured it, but it didn't change the behavior.

 

Question 2.

What I'm really looking for is to "share" the Drupal session and SimpleSAML session so that a user that is already logged into Drupal doesn't have to login again into SimpleSAML. Is there a way to piggy back on the Drupal session? Or is there a way to start a SimpleSAML session every time a Drupal session is created?

 

Thanks

Yes, that is what drupalauth4ssp does. However, you need to change the
authsource type from drupalauth:UserPass to drupalauth:External, then
you need to specify the following configuration parameters:

// the URL of the Drupal logout page
'drupal_logout_url' => 'https://www.example.com/drupal7/user/logout',

// the URL of the Drupal login page
'drupal_login_url' => 'https://www.example.com/drupal7/user',

This will cause SimpleSAMLphp to send the user to the Drupal login or
logout pages (depending upon what they're doing) instead of seeing the
SimpleSAMLphp login page.

I've updated the INSTALLATION wiki page to reflect the
drupalauth:External and drupal4ssp approach.

Installation wiki page is quite clear and I have similar setup using the drupalauth:External and drupal4ssp approach with Drupal 6 but getting whitescreen when I test the authentication source

SimpleSAML_Error_Exception: Error 2 - require_once(./includes/cache.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in SSP logs and similar in Apache logs 

PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required './includes/cache.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/local/ZendGdata-1.12.3/library') in /home/drupal/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 1133, referer: https://example.com/simplesamlphp/module.php/core/authenticate.php

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
