phpMyFAQ

Hi.
I've made a Single Sign On system on my server using Shibboleth. This system includes PMF.
Shibboleth, among the rest, is an apache module which controls access to specific locations of the web server are previously authenticated.
I configured SSO on several webapps so far, but PMF is giving me some issues: I modified index.php to accept Shib auth, but as soon as I configure apache PMF stops working, every link I visit it shows me the homepage.
The link is correct, and shows all the GET options, but the main content is totally empty.
But the options are not totally ignored, because i.e. if I click on a category, it's then showed in bold, so the parameters are taken in consideration!
What could lead to leave the main area empty?
thanks

Hi

Our FAQs webserver administration will be transferred to another department.
We are being asked if it is possible to use phpMyFAQ with Shibboleth authentication.

Have you found a solution?

Thank

sadly not.

So far if you want I can only share the patch to allow shib auth.

I will keep posted

Hi

Thanks for your quick reply.
The previous post was my yesterday's last task before shutting down the computer, so I’m answering just today.

If you don’t mind, I (we) would appreciate your offer – the patch you’ve developed.
I’m not an expert in this area, but my department’s - and other - colleagues may take a look at it.

If we find a solution, we’ll send it to you.

We are still available for testing -- if we receive the patch while we're administrating the FAQ's webserver.

Unfortunately we didn't receive the patch from the original poster ("maxxer"), and we didn't found it on the forums either.

I beg you pardon, I didn't see the replies, sorry!
Well patches are now useless, since current git source has SSO support, and hopefully will be available in 2.7beta2.


The original problem I had, which was PMF ignoring the GET vars, seems solved in 2.7. Would be nice to understand why, anyway I'm moving to PMF 2.7 which works controlled by Shibboleth, and next week when beta2 is out I will upgrade and get SSO login.
