Hi

  I am trying to configure HUE with SAML Authentication and receiving following error:

Here is my configuration in HUE:

 

# Xmlsec1 binary path. This program should be executable by the user running Hue.
   xmlsec_binary=/usr/bin/xmlsec1
        assertion_consumer_service_uri="http://xxx.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/saml2/acs/"

  metadata_file=/opt/hue/desktop/conf/metadata2.xml

     key_file=/opt/hue/desktop/conf/mattermost-x509.pem

  cert_file=/opt/hue/desktop/conf/cert2.pem

     user_attribute_mapping={'uid': ('username', ), 'email': ('email', )},
     logout_requests_signed=true
     username_source=attributes

TIA

@sudhakarv,

 

I have used the following with success previously:

user_attribute_mapping='{"uid":"username"}'

 

It does appear that the IDP --> Django mapping is not occurring.  Currently we only use map to "username".

Surprisingly commenting out “user_attribute_mapping={'uid': ('username',)}” in config file (is uses same thing which is default) does the magic. Looks like following code in libsaml/conf.py is creating problem.

def dict_list_map(value):
  if isinstance(value, str):
    d = {}
    for k, v in json.loads(value).iteritems():
      d[k] = (v,)
    return d
  elif isinstance(value, dict):
    return value
  return None

USER_ATTRIBUTE_MAPPING = Config(
  key="user_attribute_mapping",
  default={'uid': ('username', )},
  type=dict_list_map,
  help=_t("A mapping from attributes in the response from the IdP to django user attributes."))

Thank you for your response. It is working with user_attribute_mapping='{"uid":"username"}'. I was following the given example user_attribute_mapping={'uid': ('username', )} which was failing. 

 

Thank you once again.

Can you help me with some example for user_attribute_mapping='{"uid":"username"}'  ?

 

My requirement is:

 

Post integrating with SAML when user try to access Hue UI, If IDP returns UID of user post authentication but when user logged in Hue UI shows Username which i want to be displayed.

 

Can you help me to understand about below property which says

 

user_attribute_mapping  - Map user attributed provided by IDP to Hue attributes

 

What is Hue attributes?
