Hi,

I share my issue and ask for some help. I am upgrading our test DSpace server from 7.6 to 7.6.5. I did not modify the Shibboleth settings at all. However, after compiling and launching a new 7.6.5 DSpace, I found that even though the provider sends the values, DSpace receives no values.

  1. Shibboleth.sso/session
I can identify four correct attribute names and values.

  1. However, in dspace.log 
ERROR unknown unknown org.dspace.authenticate.ShibAuthentication @ Shibboleth authentication was not able to find a NetId, Email, or Tomcat Remote user for which to indentify a user from.
ERROR unknown unknown org.dspace.authenticate.ShibAuthentication @ Unable to register new eperson because we are unable to find an email address along with first and last name for the user.
  NetId Header: 'SHIB-NETID'='null' (Optional)
  Email Header: 'SHIB-MAIL'='null'
  First Name Header: 'SHIB-GIVENNAME'='null'
  Last Name Header: 'SHIB-SURNAME'='null'

I just learned there was a Shibboleth bug in 7.6.1. Is it related to 7.6.5, too?
