[Midpoint-dev] Clarifications in Midpoint version 3.9

[Pradeep Prakasam]

Hello Midpoint team,

Please be informed that our company (8K Miles Software Services) is the partner with Evolveum (Please find the link https://evolveum.com/partners/8k-miles/) and we are working on a requirement based on a feedback from a prospect. We would like to inform you that the required use case is working in Midpoint 3.6, whereas while replicating the same in 3.9 version we are not able to proceed.  Regarding this, we would like to get clarifications on Midpoint being able to accept the "authentication" based upon the availability of username in the HTTP header.

Using Midpoint version 3.6, we are able to accept the http header based authentication using the following steps.

  1.  Changes to the config file gui/admin-gui/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/ctx-web-security.xml
Uncommenting following line:

     *   <custom-filter position="PRE_AUTH_FILTER" ref="requestHeaderAuthenticationFilter" />



     *   <beans:bean id="requestHeaderAuthenticationFilter" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.preauth.RequestHeaderAuthenticationFilter">

        <beans:property name="principalRequestHeader" value="SM_USER"/>

        <beans:property name="authenticationManager" ref="authenticationManager" />

</beans:bean>

  1.  Posting the following header to /midpoint/spring_security_login

SM_USER: {Username}

Note: Username corresponds to name of the user object in MidPoint

However, we are not able to replicate the same in Midpoint version 3.9 as we are not able to identify the config file ctx-web-security.xml<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=ctx-web-security.xml&data=02%7C01%7Cppradeep%408kmiles.com%7Ce3098cf571f144a52ac508d7158be30b%7C39282642841847f5bdec4c1dfbcf42e9%7C0%7C0%7C637001562959867414&sdata=V4RKL1fhRyrTrmgpwQrIetdwT2BZlwOO%2Byty7%2B%2B0J8U%3D&reserved=0>. Kindly confirm, if the above functionality is supported in Midpoint 3.9 either directly or indirectly.
Also please confirm, whether MidPoint 3.9 version supports SSO (i.e., any alternative available in place of ctx-web-security.xml file to perform CAS SSO or SM User POST authentication)?

Kindly revert for any clarifications.

Thanks,
Pradeep
