[Drupal] user authentication with Shibboleth

[Bondra, Joseph (Joe)]

Hi Pat,

Are you just talking about setting up lazy sessions for your site?

If you set requireSession for your production site to false, that should take care of it.

Subject: [Drupal] user authentication with Shibboleth

I'm seeking help from anyone who has integrated user authentication with Shibboleth.

I am using Drupal core 7.23 and the Shibboleth authentication module 7.x-4.0 in development.  I'm currently using it to protect our development environment.  Every visitor is sent to the shib page to login.  Accounts are created on the fly if the user does not already exist in Drupal.  I then can go in after the user's first login and give her the correct role and permissions, etc.

What I need in production, though, is for anonymous users to be able to access the site without hitting shib and for authenticated users to login via shib.  Is there a way to only protect /user/login and send those users to shib or provide my own login form that forwards to shib?

Thanks,
