Redmine Remote User auth plugin

With reverse proxy it can be used to use SSL certificate to login. Plugin checks HTTP header Remote-User-Email. If user with such email exists he/she will be logged in.

Require

Redmine 2.x

Installation

Before installing make sure to stop redmine.

cd [redmine-install-dir]/plugins
export RAILS_ENV=production
git clone git://XXXX
cd ..
rake redmine:plugins:migrate
bundle install --without development test

After this steps you can switch back on redmine. Existing users will gain Remote User auth method (Look at Administration > Users).

Configuration

Reverse proxy must:

  • check certificate

  • unset Remote-User_email

  • header an set it to DN_Email from certificate

Apache example:

SSLEngine on
SSLProtocol all 
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM

SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ca.crt

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
        nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
        downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

SSLVerifyClient optional
SSLVerifyDepth 1
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars

RequestHeader unset Remote-User-Email RequestHeader set Remote-User-Email “%{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_Email}e”

SSLVerifyClient require

With valid certificate you can still log-in as users with normal Auth Method.

Uninstall

Before installing make sure to stop redmine and before that to disable Remote User auth method for all users (Look at Administration > Users)

cd [redmine-install-dir]
export RAILS_ENV=production
rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=redmine_remote_user_auth VERSION=0
rm -Rf plugins/redmine_cert_auth

After this steps you can switch back on redmine.
