<h1>SSO-in-a-Box WebAuth Service</h1>

<h2>What is WebAuth?</h2>
|
|
16 |
<p>WebAuth is the facility that makes it easy to tie a webpage into SSO-in-a-Box's central user account service.</p>

<p>The most common error messages are listed below, along with an explanation of what the error means. If you encounter an error message not listed
|
|
21 |
below, please see the "Contact Information" heading below.</p>
|
|
22 |
|
|
23 |
<h3>Error: You entered an incorrect username or password (or both).</h3>
|
|
24 |
|
|
25 |
<p>Double-check your username and password. For employees, this is your first initial followed by your last name, <strong>all lowercase</strong>.
|
|
26 |
Remember, your username and password are both case sensitive.</p>
|
|
27 |
|
|
28 |
<h3>Internal error</h3>
|
|
29 |
|
|
30 |
<p>This error message is sometimes seen if maintenance was performed on the login server recently. Please try accessing the service again before
|
|
31 |
contacting the help desk.</p>
|
|
32 |
|
|
33 |
<h3>Error: You took too long to log in.</h3>
|
|
34 |
|
|
35 |
<p>The login page is a time-sensitive URL. Thus, bookmarking it or reusing an old login URL will not work. Instead, bookmark the page of the service
|
|
36 |
you are trying to reach after you log in. When you open the bookmark, you will be redirected to the login page if you do not have an active
|
|
37 |
session.</p>
|
|
38 |
|
|
39 |
<h3>Error: That username may not authenticate to this service.</h3>
|
|
40 |
|
|
41 |
<p>Your account is disabled. This might happen for any number of reasons, such as account suspension or password expiration.</p>

<h2>As a developer, how can I use WebAuth?</h2>
|
|
44 |
<p>A server must have WebAuth configured on it before it will be able to use Apache's standard "AuthType" directive in .htaccess to require WebAuth
|
|
45 |
for a selection of pages. Once this is done, protecting a page or group of pages is very simple. Examples:</p>
|
|
46 |
<pre># Protect the entire directory
|
|
47 |
AuthType WebAuth
|
|
48 |
Require valid-user</pre>
|
|
49 |
<pre># Protect only certain URLs in this directory
|
|
50 |
<FilesMatch "^(index|admin)\.php$">
|
|
51 |
AuthType WebAuth
|
|
52 |
Require valid-user
|
|
53 |
</FilesMatch></pre>
|
|
54 |
<pre># Restrict to a whitelist of users
|
|
55 |
AuthType WebAuth
|
|
56 |
Require user jschmoe jdoe</pre>
|
|
57 |
<pre># Restrict to a group
|
|
58 |
AuthType WebAuth
|
|
59 |
AuthDBMGroupFile /etc/apache2/ldap-groups
|
|
60 |
Require group users</pre>
