Admin Page Error - v2.0.4
Skagnatti
Hello,
I have simpleSAMLphp 2.0.4 installed in a PHP 8.0/Apache 2.4 environment.
This is an upgrade from a longtime 1.19 install.
I can load the https://domain-name/simplesaml/module.php/core/welcome splash page fine. The issue is then trying to load the admin page.
The ‘Functional changes’ here
https://simplesamlphp.org/docs/stable/simplesamlphp-upgrade-notes-2.0.html mention “The base URL of the SimpleSAMLphp installation no longer provides an admin menu. Instead this is now at the location
<simpleSAMLphp base URL>/admin . The
admin module needs to be enabled for this to work”
I reviewed this section in the config.php file and saw the following,
implying it is enabled by default, but probably a minor doc diff:
/***********
| MODULES |
***********/
/*
* Configuration for enabling/disabling modules. By default the 'core', 'admin' and 'saml' modules are enabled.
If I don’t uncomment the module to enable admin, thinking the admin
module is enabled by default, I get the following errors/warnings on the
simplesamlphp/module.php/admin/ page:
Warning: Class SimpleSAML\Session has no unserializer in /var/simplesamlphp/src/SimpleSAML/SessionHandlerPHP.php on line

/var/simplesamlphp/src/SimpleSAML/Session.php on line 552
If I uncomment the admin module, as suggested in the upgrade notes, I
still get a similar error(without the accompanying warning), but in the
syslog:
'module.enable' => [
'admin' => true,
],
Jul 18 10:17:03 hostname php-error [18-Jul-2023
10:17:03 America/Chicago] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Typed
property SimpleSAML\Session::$trackid must not be accessed before
initialization in /var/simplesamlphp/src/SimpleSAML/Session.php:552
Seeing the dialog ‘session’ in the error, the ‘Session Configuration’
in config.php I have b/w v1.19 and v2.0.4 are the same – essentially
default configs.
Any insight is appreciated.

What session handler are you using? phpsession?
