No form for IdP when site hosted on Microsoft's Azure

    Hi there,

    I have a test site on Azure and got an error when clicking on the IP tab that the saml-20-single-sign-on\etc is not writable.
    Using FileZila, I created the folders and when clicking on the tab the error went way but all I have is:
    SAML Identity Provider Settings

    Note: A Valid Identity Provider (IdP) must be declared before the site. can use Single-Sign On.

    and the Update Options button.

    If I click on the button, I get:
    SAML Identity Provider Settings
    Your changes couldn’t be saved. Is the file writable by the server?

    Note: A Valid Identity Provider (IdP) must be declared before the site. can use Single-Sign On.

    and the Update Options button.

    Any idea what is going on? I changed the permission on the etc folder to 777 via FileZila, not sure if that did anything.

    Thanks for your help.

    Dan

    This is due to an error on my part, that will hopefully be fixed soon. I describe a possible fix here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/empty-entity-id-and-sp-details

    Here is the answer, for good measure:

    Unfortunately, I am temporarily without access to my development computers and don’t know when I will have access to them again. A future update will fix this problem, but I can’t guarantee how soon the fix will be implemented.

    In the meantime: This file is probably the source of your troubles:

    /wp-content/plugins/saml-20-single-sign-on/saml/metadata/saml20-idp-remote.php

    On line 4 of that file, the path to the ini file has been hard-coded using a value from my development server (woops). You can either change this to the appropriate value for your server, or drop in the necessary variables to accomplish the same thing. A future update will use WordPress global variables to specify the path to the ini file. I would post the necessary code changes here, but I wouldn’t be able to test it and don’t want to post misinformation.

    Heya,
    Same thing here. That sounds easy enough to do, but where do we get this *.ini file from? Couldn’t find it the plugin zip or in SimpleSAMLPHP anywhere 🙁
    Looking forward to using this! 😀

    Version 0.8.7 (hot off the presses!) will fix this problem. There were a number of issues related to the required file structure not being created and certain defaults not being set. If an upgrade to 0.8.7 doesn’t fix the issue, a clean install will do the trick for sure.
