#4025 new defect

TracCas always redirected me back to CAS which put my browser in an infinite loop

Reported by: anonymous Owned by: David Gelhar
Priority: normal Component: TracCasPlugin
Severity: blocker Keywords:
Cc: Trac Release: 0.12

Description

The code at http://trac-hacks.org/browser/traccasplugin/0.11/traccas/traccas.py seems to be missing something. When i click on the login link in trac i end up at the cas login. After I log into cas I get redirected to trac's login page

I put debug code into TracCas and determined that the "authenticate" function was working but for some reason the "_do_login" function never had the right value for req.remote_user so TracCas always redirected me back to CAS which put my browser in an infinite loop

By simply replacing the "if not req.remote_user:" with "if not req.authname or req.authname == 'anonymous':" in the "_do_login" function TracCas seems to work properly.

I get the same symptom when I install more than on Trac environment on a server. All environments besides the first one installed will fall into a redirect loop.

I'm on Trac 0.11.4 running on Python 2.4.2 in SLES 11 (64 bit)

Replying to advicepig:

After some more testing, I've found that this behavior isn't about have more than one environment, but setting the repository_dir in the trac section of conf/trac.ini stopped the redirecting funny business. In previous tests, I had the location blank since our secondary environments weren't actually related to code...

Trac Release: 0.110.12

On Trac 0.12 seems to work only if you put in a path to a directory that is not an svn repository. Endless loop or browser reported impossible redirect appears to happen with a blank entry or a valid entry for the repository_dir.

I would look at: http://informatics.kumc.edu/work/ticket/263#comment:2 for a solution to the endless loop problem.
