Pentaho SAML plugin and problem sharing reports

[cgonzalez]

Hello,

We have successfully configured and deployed the SAML pentaho plugin with Pentaho Community 7.1. We have used wso2 identity server as identity provider.

However, we have detected a problem when trying to share a report with other SAML users. When a SAML user make a successfull login and try to share a report, Pentaho only list default local users (pat, suzy, tiffany, etc) and users that comes via SAML are never listed.

Any help to fix this issue will be very welcomed, thanks in advance.

Best,

César

Hi César,

The problem I face is that I don't have the SAML Files discribed in step 2. I am not a client of Pentaho, using the community edition, so I can't get the files from the Pentaho support.
I also found this site http://docplayer.net/19831592-Saml-i...-joao-l-m.html
There they point point to the github to compile your own kar file. I am trying to do that but till now not succesful. I don't know how to use Maven so that's also a learning curve

Regards,

Johan

This bean is defined in the applicationContext-spring-security-saml.xml. When I remove the all the saml id's (like f.e. samlAuthenticationFilterEntryPoint, samlWebSSOProcessingFilter ) the servers will start but then saml won't work
