Open ID Connect: Redirect URL?

[cbroschinski]

We are currently in the process of upgrading to VuFind 10 at our library, especially since we would like to switch to Open ID Connect as authentication method (we are using Shibboleth at the moment, which we want to get rid of).

However, we are having trouble figuring out the correct redirect URL for our installation, as it has to be added to our university's central authentication server. There was a short mentioning of this issue here and that it had to be documented somewhere, but I suppose that hasn't been done yet?

@cbroschinski, I've been hoping that somebody with greater knowledge of OpenIDConnect would follow up in the comment you alluded to; unfortunately, I have never used it and so am not very well qualified to help. However, to get things moving, I have at least created a stub OpenIDConnect wiki page that can be expanded to include more helpful details as we figure them out.

My guess is that the redirect URL is going to be your myresearch-home route (in other words, https://your-vufind-server/your-vufind-path/MyResearch/Home) -- at least, that's where most SSO authentication methods land in VuFind. Maybe that's worth a try, and if it works, we can add some details about this to the wiki page and/or the .ini file to help the next person.

@cbroschinski: As @demiankatz wrote, the redirect URL should be /MyResearch/Home

The settings needed may differ for different OIDC Servers.

I added a section to about setting the server on the wiki page

Thanks, @xmorave2! @cbroschinski, has this helped you solve your issue? If so, please let me know so I can mark this discussion as resolved.

Yes, thanks for the information and for updating the wiki. We are still in the process of getting our Open ID Connect setup to work, but this is no longer related to the missing redirect URL, so this issue should be resolved.
