Hello,<br>
<br>
We're trying to get Shibboleth working as a method of authentication here.<br>
<br>
>From a thread on this forum back in November 2010 (<a href="http://lists.nottingham.ac.uk/pipermail/xerte/2010-November/007360.html" target="_blank">http://lists.nottingham.ac.uk/pipermail/xerte/2010-November/007360.html</a>), and from reading the comments in the integration.txt file, it appears it should be a fairly simple case of editing integration.txt to set the three variables ($_SESSION['toolkits_firstname'], $_SESSION['toolkits_surname'] and $_SESSION['toolkits_logon_username']) to values obtained from the Shibboleth IdP, adding a call "session_start()" at the beginning of the script, and then renaming integration.txt to be index.php.<br>

<br>
When I do that and try to log in, the page I get back appears to have a chunk of html missing at the start - see below.<br>
Should I be copying parts of the standard index.php script into the integration.txt version?<br>
