Re: NTLM_SSO doesn't authenticate DOMAIN\\user

As said before, I put some code in the auth.php to log the $username in the ntlmsso_magic function, and I saw the user logs in as:

DOMAIN\user1

Then, I modified the /etc/samba/smb.conf and uncommented:

winbind use default domain = Yes

Then, in /var/www/moodle/auth/ldap/auth.php, i change the switch

switch ($this->config->ntlmsso_type) {
    case 'ntlm':
      $username = substr(strrchr($username, '\\'), 1);
      break;

And commented out the line which changes $username, so the resulting line is:

 switch ($this->config->ntlmsso_type) {
                case 'ntlm':
                    // $username = substr(strrchr($username, '\\'), 1);
                    break;
                case 'kerberos':
                    // Format is username@DOMAIN
                    $username = substr($username, 0, strpos($username, '@'));
                    break;
                default:
                    error_log($this->errorlogtag.get_string ('ntlmsso_unknowntype', 'auth_ldap'));
                    return false; // Should never happen!
            }
           

I put an error_log before and after the switch block to understand how the $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] is set and what $username becomes, and I get:

ntlmsso_magic: Before strrchr: username: a6319, referer: https://

ntlmsso_magic: After strrchr: username: a6319,

Now the login via NTLM WORKS, but it's taking ages (2+ minutes) for the user to get in.

Any idea on how can I debug this?

Anyhow, I'll keep on investigating.

Thanks again for your attention
