(Write here your question/remark)
I've tried the SAML and Shibboleth plugins and have been getting the same result when trying to login.
I am redirected to the login screen again even though the SHIB authentication was successful.
At one point I could see my user id being successfully recognized in the logs and was greeted by Limesurvey 'Welcome User' in the logs, but it would still present the login screen.
Is there perhaps a resource I could refer to or check configuration settings against to verify that my configuration is in fact correct. 
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
 

AuthDB work ?

Hi Denis

Yes AuthDB works, but I would really like to get either of the webserver, SAML / Shibboleth plugins to work.

SAML and Shibboleth are complex to set up …
I ask for AuthDB to see if there are clear $_SESSION issue …

Seems not …

Hi Denis, Yes I'm comfortable with the complexity, but I need to know what the standard configuration looks like in a working environment so I could compare it to mine. What pitfalls should I look out for? What default configuration must be changed in order to get it to work. Are there any step by step guides for the webserver authentication plugin? I've turned DEBUG on, but still can't seem to track down where the problem is.

In general : when i need (it's not working but don't know why) : i put some trace and test … hacking , no clean way to do.

Hi Denis

This is what I'm trying to achieve.
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Optional_setti...ion_to_the_webserver

1. I've set the auth_webserver to true in config.php
2. I activated the plugin and set the variable that should be used.
3. I created a LS user with the same username that would be used for
authenticating to the webserver.

After successful authentication with the webserver the server variable I specified in the plugin contains the username that corresponds with a username already in the database.

What else do I need to verify?
Could you elaborate on your trace and test.....hacking suggestion please.
How would you troubleshoot this problem?

Many thanks for your responses they are greatly appreciated.

When another solution (with tracevar($_SESSION) and mode debug didn't work).
