Connecting to JIRA through a central authentication service (CAS) [message #47410]

Hello,

I am trying to connect to a JIRA instance where the authentication has
been customised and is handled in a separate application (CAS).

The problem I am having is that it seems that mylyn does not handle well
the redirect to the authentication form (from https://www.mysite.com/jira
to https://www.mysite.com/cas). The error displayed is "Server error:
(302)Found"

JIRA is running on tomcat which is accessed through mod_jk and apache. For
authentication, I am using CAS (http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/)
through mod_auth_cas which means that the authentification is done before
the JIRA instance is accessed. Once the authentication is done in CAS, the
user is automatically redirected through original request.In JIRA, I have
a filter that check the remote user and automatically log the user in.

I would appreciate any advice helping to found where the problem is.

I am running JIRA 3.12.2 and Mylyn 2.3.

PS: to test that my eclipse configuration was ok I have successfully
connected to http://jira.codehaus.org.

The JIRA connector follows redirects on login but expects certain responses
in order to validate a login. The error you are seeing comes from the Axis
SOAP client that is used to access the JIRA remote service. Please make
sure that SOAP/RPC services are enabled for your repository:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylyn_FAQ#What_are_the_ser ver_requirements.3F

If that is the case please file a new bug report:

http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/bugs/

It would be great if you could include the sequence of redirects for login
and accessing a site, e.g. http://mysite.com/jira/browse/ISSUE-1 .

Thanks,
Steffen
