MantisBT and Shibboleth Authentication

[schuffr]

Hi Folks,

I have searched near and far on the Mantis BT site as well as the internet looking for shibboleth authentication on mantis. Has anyone here done it?

thanks

I haven't done this yet, but plan to give it a try soon. Have you gotten any feedback or gotten it working yet?

Currently, I'm trying to get mantis to use HTTP_AUTH or BASIC_AUTH . Not having much luck so far. My apache server authenticates me, but I contiue to receive the mantisBT login page as well. And, nothing I enter seems to allow me to get past it.

I think once this is done, shibbolizing it should be pretty easy for authentication at least. I have no idea yet how to handle authorization, groups, etc. In fairness, I don't know much about mantisBT yet. I've successfully shibbolized a couple of other products (MediaWiki, Drupal), etc. These products both have available extensions or modules that allowed me to map roles to the result of RegEx comparisons against the release SAML attributes. This made it pretty easy. Not sure how this will all go for mantis. Might end up having to write soem code or something if an extension isn't already available.

Hi, I am currently also into shibboleth and integration with a few php apps - is there some approach with your worl on this? I would be very happy to get some working example code, as there are only few working ones out there for php apps.

Thank you very much for your attention!

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't get notified and after a few nonths I haven't been watching anymore

I still have not addressed the issue here and just came backt oday to see if anyone had made progress but it looks like no. I'm unfortunately, not able to put too much effort into it at this time.
