Warning

What is the mechanism?

  • The common way:
    • sit behind a reverse proxy
    • proxy intercepts a special request
    • after login is complete, proxy redirects to the original request.
    • HTTP header must contain a UID or equivalent identifier.
    • Commonly Apache, with a module to accomplish the work
  • The other way
    • specify a redirection URL
    • No proxy or interception required.
    • HTTP header is the same.
  • Where is the /loginExternalAuthReturn page?
    • VIVO just redirects from there.
      • Home page
      • Profile page
      • New account

How to debug?

  • Is the request being intercepted?
    • Increase the log settings
    • Look at headers
    • Is your UID in a header?
    • Configure VIVO to read that header.
  • Otherwise, configure the reverse proxy to intercept it.
