External login: Jasig CAS SSO for 2.5 issues

[avo_liao]

Hello everyone.

I am using the External Login component/plugin/module for Joomla! 2.5 (http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... based/5366) to integrate login with Jasig CAS.

I have installed all the extensions, even the community builder plugin.

After installing and configuring, the flow is the following:

1. At my Joomla! page, I try login through the External Login module
2. I am redirected to my Jasig CAs server where I successfully login
3. I am redirected back to my Joomla! page with the following URL: http://myjoomlaserver/joomla/?server=1& ... iyC-epopeo
4. Nothing else happens. I am not logged in at Joomla! and a new user was not created.

There is nothing at the CAS server log that can point me to the right direction.

Has anyone been able to successfully run this extension?
If not, has anyone successfully run the 1.5 Joomla! version? Maybe I will switch to Joomla 1.5 is the 2.5 version does not work

Thank you very much

Hi.

I'm having the same problem. Has anyone experienced the same and solved this? I would tremendously appreciate some advice.

Thanks in advance.

I found a fix, so in case someone else is having this problem:

I tailed the apache log on my joomla-server while I tried to log in to joomla via cas, thus provoking the 500-error:

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

The log showed a call to an undefined function named curl_init(), so I installed php-curl:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

and restarted apache

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

and now, it works like a charm :-)

To check if curl is activated, use phpinfo().
