Shibboleth OpenID Connect Overlay

This is a rudimentary Maven overlay for MITREid Connect; it adds support for running MITRE behind a Shibboleth-enabled Apache server that adds authentication headers.

Configuration

The following files should be edited before deployment:

  1. OpenID Connect issuer in shibboleth-openid-connect/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/server-config.xml.

     <bean id="configBean" class="org.mitre.openid.connect.config.ConfigurationPropertiesBean">
       <!-- This property is changed to match the deployed URL of the example overlay project. -->
       <!-- This property sets the root URL of the server, known as the issuer -->
       <property name="issuer" value="https://path/to/my/server/" />
     
       <!-- This property is a URL pointing to a logo image 24px high to be used in the top bar -->
       <property name="logoImageUrl" value="resources/images/openid_connect_small.png" />
     
       <!-- This property sets the display name of the server, displayed in the topbar and page title -->
       <property name="topbarTitle" value="My OpenID Connect Server" />
       
       <!-- This property forces the issuer value to start with "https" -->
       <property name="forceHttps" value="true" />
     </bean>
    
  2. JDBC url, username, password in shibboleth-openid-connect/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/data-context.xml.

     <bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
     	<property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
     	<property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/dbname" />
     	<property name="username" value="uname" />
     	<property name="password" value="pword" />		
     </bean>
    

Deployments other than those at the University of Chicago will probably want to edit ./shibboleth-openid-connect/src/main/java/edu/uchicago/iam/shib/ShibRequestHeaderAuthenticationFilter.java, to configure the LDAP attributes a user must have before being granted administrative access to OpenID Connect.

More information is available on the MITREid Connect wiki.

Deployment

To deploy this package:

  1. Install Apache2 and Tomcat. A script, install.sh, is provided, which will configure an instance on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

     # yum install tomcat6 tomcat-native mysql-server mysql-connector-java
    
  2. Configure Shibboleth authentication on Apache2.

  3. Configure a proxy to Tomcat, making sure to enable ShibUseHeaders On:

     ProxyPass /Shibboleth.sso !
     ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8081/
      
     <Location />
       AuthType shibboleth
       ShibUseHeaders On
     </Location>
      
     <LocationMatch ^/(login|authorize|manage)>
       ShibRequestSetting requireSession 1
       Require valid-user
     </LocationMatch>
    
  4. Run mvn package in this repository, and copy target/shibboleth-openid-connect.war to path/to/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT.war.

     # mvn package
     # scp target/shibboleth-openid-connect.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT.war
    
  5. Run the MySQL setup script at shibboleth-openid-connect/src/main/resources/db/tables/mysql_database_tables.sql.

     # mysql -u root dbname < mysql_database_tables.sql
    

To install this package, first configure the OpenID Connect server in shibboleth-openid-connect/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/server-config.xml. All configuration is optional, except the value of issuer, which should be a publishable base URL for the deployed service, ending in a slash.

Next, configure the MySQL data backend, in ./shibboleth-openid-connect/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/data-context.xml.
