Authentication plugins changes in 3.8 version

[anabarcellos]

Good afternoon, folks. After 3.8 version, we can't login by OpenAM anymore (plugin developed by an ex-colleague looong ago).

Since Joomla! needed some changes to LDAP plugin in 3.8.1 https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/co ... 56c56231cc I am taking for granted that we need to change something in our OpenAM plugin too.

I am not a coder and I can't understand what those changes mean. At the same time, we don't have anything similar to the refered changes in LDAP plugin to copy to our OpenAM plugin code.

Even if we needed to hire someone to fix it, before I have to understand what needs to be done (what should I ask for?). Can someone help me with this information?

Otherwise I will be stuck on 3.7.5 version

Someone?
I installed an OpenAM agent in the server and the problem is still there. It works fine till Joomla 3.7.5.

LDAP works fine in 3.8.1

After many tests I got to the conclusion that the issue is related to PHP7 and not to Joomla version. The plugin still works fine with Joomla 3.8 in php 5.5.

Not sure if this is the cause or just a notice:

PHP Notice: Array to string conversion in .../plugins/authentication/openam/openam.php on line 70

Line 70 is:

Code: Select all

$response->$attributes[$name] = trim(substr($line, 28));
