Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Bryan Wooten <>]

Exactly, no other errors. I always use a fresh incognito window in Chrome or Firefox to login.

 

The really weird thing is I thought the my CAS stuff in web.core.xml was the problem so I removed it. Now when I hit grouper, I don’t get any kind of login page, I just go straight the “anonymous user” error page.

 

So I must have some other kind of configuration issue?

You are saying that you dont see a CSRF problem anymore or other errors, what happens on the screen?  I assume you cleared your cache etc on the browser.

 

Thanks,

Chris

Hmmm,

 

That did not seem to work.

 

We are running Tomcat 7 so following the instructions on the link you sent I added:

<session-config>

     <tracking-mode>COOKIE</tracking-mode>

</session-config>

 

To the web.core.xml and redeployed.

 

I no longer get the CSRF error in grouper_error.log. In fact I get no errors. I just get this when I login as GrouperSystem:

 

2015-02-04 08:16:28,756: [http-bio-8080-exec-18] INFO  EventLog.info(156) -  - [811b2b7a85754229802d5eec4a1ae1f2,'GrouperSystem','application'] session: start (6ms)

2015-02-04 08:16:28,802: [http-bio-8080-exec-18] INFO  EventLog.info(156) -  - [ac1faa55dde24fd9af4cc51a8b9004d1,'GrouperSystem','application'] session: start (1ms)

 

I verified that the sysadmingrouper exists and that GrouperSystem was a member:

 

 

gsh 1% addGroup("etc", "sysadmingroup", "SysAdmin Group")

// Error: group already exists with name: 'etc:sysadmingroup', stem name: etc, group extension: sysadmingroup, group dExtension: SysAdmin Group, uuid: null, typeOfGroup: null,

Problem in HibernateSession: HibernateSession (2f1dc865): new, notReadonly, READ_WRITE_NEW, notActiveTransaction, session (2cb1227e)

gsh 2% addMember("etc:sysadmingroup", "GrouperSystem")

// Error: membership already exists,

 

I turned up logging to debug (on the root loggerO, but I don’t know what I should be looking for.

Im thinking you should disable url rewriting with jsessionid...

 

e.g.

https://fralef.me/tomcat-disable-jsessionid-in-url.html

 

Seems like a good security thing to do anyways right?

 

Thanks,

Chris

Hmm, grouper_error.log has this clue:

 

2015-02-03 13:20:19,231: [http-bio-8080-exec-6] ERROR CsrfGuardLogger.log(47) -  - potential cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack thwarted (user:GrouperSystem, ip:155.101.205.178, method:GET, uri:/grouper/;jsessionid=A5FFC803A416F58090D3F3691077A6E5, error:required token is missing from the request)

 

I think my CAS web.xml config could be the issue? I didn’t see this 2.1.x. I am pointing at my standard U test CAS server.

Anything else in logs or stdout / stderr from tomcat?

Ok, not sure what is going on here.

 

We have a fresh 2.2.1 installation, not an upgrade from 2.1.x

 

We have a CASified Grouper UI. The CAS login is successful.

 

I have run the following GSH script:

 

grouperSession = GrouperSession.startRootSession();

addGroup("etc", "sysadmingroup", "SysAdmin Group")

addMember("etc:sysadmingroup", "GrouperSystem")

addMember("etc:sysadmingroup", "u0519980")

 

After login the UI displays this:

 

Maybe your session timed out and you need to start again. This should not happen under normal operation. CSRF error.

 

I click “start over” and  I get this:

 

You have an anonymous session since you are not logged in, but this section requires you to be logged in. Maybe No username found. Your identity provider might not be sending your username to this application. Either you need to use a different identity provider, or ask your IT department to send your username to this application.

 

Ideas?
