No such thing as a silly question - always worth checking the obvious :-) But yes, the Shib Authentication class is listed first (with Password authentication second as a fall back for external users) . . . . > It seems really odd to me that you are not seeing DEBUG logs from the > ShibAuthentication.getSpecialGroups() method, as they should be written on > *login* (and shouldn't actually be affected by that other bug I mentioned, DS- > 2527). Yes, agreed - I thought it odd that I couldn't see any of these log lines appearing when logging on . . . . > So, it made me wonder if somehow the Special Groups are not being > initialized properly (though I cannot think of why that'd be).

That's good to know - I'll have another play with this at some point and see if I can learn any more - if I do, I'll obviously share what I find :-) Thanks again, Mike Michael White eLearning Developer Information Services T: (01786) 466877 E: michael.wh...@stir.ac.uk A: S8, Library, University of Stirling, Stirling, FK9 4LA > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Donohue [mailto:tdono...@duraspace.org] > Sent: 17 June 2015 21:42 > To: Michael White > Cc: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Shibboleth and role based groups? > > Hi Michael, > > A silly question, but is the > "org.dspace.authenticate.ShibAuthentication" class listed *first* amongst your > "AuthenticationMethod" settings in authentication.cfg?
