[EP-tech] Re: Shibboleth/SAML and ePrints 3.3.x

great work!
Note: if Eprints can be run behind a reverse proxy, you just need the rev proxy to support shibboleth and jump directly to the Eprints config (no apache config) 

Question: Can eprints be run under a reverse proxy?
I've a central apache with shibboleth, and I would like to use it to rev proxy eprints.

Hi Matt,

I know your original query was some time ago you asked but it took a
while to get round to having time to do a Shibboleth setup on a recent
OS (in this case CentOS 7) and then to write up some comprehensive and
hopefully clear instructions.  Anyway, they are now available at:

http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Shibboleth

I will admit the instructions are quite long-winded, as there are quite
a number of steps to install and the configure Shibboleth, before you
even get onto configuring EPrints and Apache.  However, a lot of the
stuff on this page is example configuration, which maybe makes the
amount of work look more than it is.

Any feedback and/or suggested amendments to the wiki page would be
appreciated.  I am sure the way I have explained one or two things might
need some clarification.

I am not adverse to the suggestion of making the "Configuring Apache and
EPrints" stage into a Bazaar package but there is no way of automating
the "Installing Shibboleth" and "Configuring Shibboleth" stages, as
these will vary between operating systems and require adding/modifying
files outside the EPrints scope.  I do not have the time at present to
write such a Shibboleth EPrints Bazaar package but if someone else is
keen, do not let me stop you.

Regards

David Newman

Hi Alen, Thanks for the pointers..  I will have a read through your links and see what I can come up with and get working...
Hi David,  running on RH6, and we are aiming to have this running as SSO for current authenticated users, and then fall back to the usual login screen if the SSO fails (e.g for internal eprint accounts)

Thanks for the guidance.

Matt

Hi!

I have got it working 2 years ago and describe it here:
https://github.com/alenkovich/Eprints-AAI-EduHr-Auth

Currently I will have to implement it again on 3.3.13 but I'm looking into using mod_auth_mellon instead od auth_memcookie

https://github.com/UNINETT/mod_auth_mellon

Hope it helps..

Regards,
alen

Hi All,

I am looking at implementing Shibboleth/SAML in our version of ePrints.
Just wondering if anyone has done this for the 3.3.x versions, as the
only documentation I can find is from 2009, and I think goes back to
about 2.3.x.

Any help/doco/instructions a little more recent would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Matt.
