[shib_auth] help with a couple of error messages please

[Patterson, Christina]

Thanks Andy. Yes, it appears your requirements are different than ours. We'd prefer to allow users to set their email address rather than taking official UCLA mail from the shib attributes. (Our experience is that quite a few users prefer receiving mail at an address OTHER THAN what is recorded in the enterprise attributes and we're OK with that.)

We use Shib with Drupal 7.  These are the 2 attributes we use:

Server variable for username: HTTP_SHIBUCLAUNIVERSITYID
Server variable for e-mail address: HTTP_MAIL

I think that attribute names can vary depending on mappings in attributes.xml.  The SHIBUCLAUNIVERSITYID is the 9-digit UCLA UID.

We don't let users enter a custom email address, instead relying on what comes from Shibboleth, so we apparently don't use the custom_form or custom_data in your error messages.

I have shib_auth 7.x-4.0 installed on a Drupal 7 site. I'm getting two errors.

I have this configuration under Attribute Settings:
Server variable for username: REMOTE_USER
Server variable for email address: [empty]
UNCHECKED - User-defined usernames
CHECKED - User-defined email addresses
UNCHECKED - Account linking

Basically I want to use an attribute acquired from IdP to generate the username and NOT let user change it. And I want to allow the user to enter the email address and NOT provide them with a default.

Error 1) With configuration settings as described above, user successfully authenticates via shibboleth and is directed to get_custom_data. It displays this error:

Notice: Undefined index: in shib_auth_custom_data() (line 173 of /var/www/html/sites/all/modules/shib_auth/shib_auth_forms.inc).

To resolve this I entered REMOTE_USER for the email address, so now the configuration is:
Server variable for username: REMOTE_USER
Server variable for email address: REMOTE_USER
UNCHECKED - User-defined usernames
CHECKED - User-defined email addresses
UNCHECKED - Account linking

This gets rid of the error message. But I would prefer to have the email field be empty/blank when the user reaches the forum.

Error 2) After submitting get_custom_data, it creates the user but returns this error:

Notice: Undefined variable: custom_username in shib_auth_custom_form() (line 610 of /var/www/html/sites/all/modules/shib_auth/shib_auth.module).

Are these bugs? Should I submit issues to the issue queue? Or is it a misconfiguration on my part?
