MediaWiki and SimpleSAMLPHP authentication

Question

I've been trying to integrate MediaWiki and SimpleSAMLPHP with both extensions available (MultiAuthPlugin and SAMLAuth). However, I get the same error of 'State information lost' after trying to login via the Wiki in both cases.

I've tried to change the store.type to memcache and sql, but I still get the 'State information lost' error.

Was anyone out there able to integrate MediaWiki and SimpleSAMLPHP?

Answer 1

Changing store.type should help. Can you confirm that login does work when you use the test authentication source feature in SimpleSamlPhp? If that doesn't work, your problem is not with a MediaWiki extension.

I wrote yet another SAML extension for MediaWiki; the ones already there did not solve my problem. I am not saying that you will succeed with that one, but I can confirm that it works for me. You can find it at https://github.com/yorn/mwSimpleSamlAuth/.
