Luminis IV GMail SSO
Hello,
In the past we developed some code to do single sign on into GMail from Luminis via SAML. Since many schools have already asked for the source code we thought we should post it on lumdev as well in case anyone else is interested. You'll find an attached zip file with all of the code and instructions about where to put files.
A couple of points you need to be aware of:
Luminis IV Parallel Deployment - rendering jsp within the /site folder and tie into luminis jars
We are in the midst of going live with Luminis IV in parallel deployment and we came across an interesting problem. Our end goal is to have a shared folder that the web tier can access and render jsp files. These jsp files would need to have access to other luminis jar files (for stuff like iperson). The first problem we have is that we are sharing a folder for "/site" that the web and mid tiers have access to. If we put a jsp page in that shared location and hit it from a web browser, we see the jsp source code and a content type of text/plain.
Bypassing the External Systems Error Screen in Luminis IV
If anyone is looking to bypass the external system error message screen in Luminis IV, you may have found the the old method from 3.3 fails. "RN-387" does not work for IV so I contacted support and they gave me the following instructions:
1) Run the following command: cptool configure secretstore -ar=1 system
2) Backup the existing $CP_ROOT/webapps/luminis/jsp/portal/sync_eas_password.jsp
3) Copy the attached file over that existing one and change the school URL within it
4) Restart Luminis
