We are in the process of setting up SAML authentication on Linux Red Hat box, we followed the steps in this chapter:
Chapter 8. SAML Setup for i2b2 (v1.7.13 release)We are very close, we have Shibboleth installed/configured and Apache configured for our IdP, and get a SAML response after an authentication request, but we can't get past a 'Username is empty' webclient error after what appears to be a successful authentication.
The attribute-map for eduPersonPrincipalName seems to be okay, so we are not sure why it is not being passed to the application via Apache.
I suspect we are missing something about the creatin/configuration of users for SAML authentication, the instructions say the following:
So, I created accounts that also contain the domain, such as
i2b2...@mydomain.org, then added a pm user parameter named authentication_method with a value of SAML, am I missing something?
Thank you!
