In this case I'm writing a LoginHandler.

Regarding the LoginContext, I use it to know if forceAuth or isPassive is requested. Is there other fields that I should take into account?

Do I need to set any fields in it besides setting the attributes in the httpRequest (PRINCIPAL_NAME_KEY, SUBJECT_KEY, etc)?

Thanks for the help,

André

Okay, wording changed and I tried to put a little verbiage out there
about the Installation document.

The error you saw is because you didn't set the change a <version> tag

per Step 1.2.  And reading the wording I currently have for that I can

understand why.  I'll fix that up after I send this email.

As to how you chose to distribute and have people install the plugin,

that's up to you and it's going to depend on what exactly your plugin

is.  For example, a filter engine match functor is going to have a

different installation process than a login handler that requires an

additional Servlet be configured.  In the simplest case you tell people

to put the jar in the IDP src directory and re-run the installer.

Right now these instructions are solely about how to get people up and

running with building extensions.  I'd note that they aren't super

useful at the moment because the IdP artifacts aren't posted in the Shib

maven repository yet.  That'll happen with 2.1.  2.0 wasn't built with

Maven and I never took the time to do all the manual deployment of

artifacts.  Also, one of our guys here at SWITCH is writing an extension

as well and noticed some typos in the LoginHandler sub-page.  He said

he'd fix them up once he got through everything and was sure it all

worked which I suspect would probably be tomorrow.

Hello.

I'm writing an IDP extension and following the

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/SHIB2/IdPDevCustomExtension guide.

It is well written but there are some things missing.

- After step 6, what next? I tried a "mvn install" but maven complained:

[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

Missing:

----------

1)

edu.internet2.middleware:shibboleth-identityprovider:jar:SHIBBOLETH_VERSION

Maybe the extension code should be placed somewhere related to the IDP

code?

- Where do we put additional jars that our extension needs so that they

will be copied along with the extension jar? Or does the jar get created

and then we manually copy everything to some directory in the IDP tree?

Thanks,

André
