[Mono-aspnet-list] Integrating/Authentication ASP .NET application(s) to/with Shibboleth
Hello all, I am new in this mailing list. Can anyone here describe me how to integrate an ASP .NET application to Shibboleth, indeed for the authentication mechanism. I would like to do so, but don't know how to proceed, the steps to follow ... I read Shibboleth documentation, but still I cant understand what are the processes. I would appreciate if anyone here can help me by providing few steps to follow and if possible how; or any links providing such implementations examples.

Re: [Mono-aspnet-list] [Spam] Integrating/Authentication ASP .NET application(s) to/with Shibboleth
Shibboleth is a complicated system, but you can break it down into a few parts. Grossly oversimplifying: * Identity provider (IdP) - this service handles authentication; your users type in their username and password here. * Service Provider (SP) - this service runs on the same server as your ASP.NET application, and talks back and forth with the IdP. You tell the SP what URLs are protected, and the SP intercepts HTTP traffic, redirecting people to the IdP for authentication first if someone requests for a protected URL. When the IdP authenticates the user, it redirects back to your SP with data about the authenticated user (e.g. username). The SP adds this information as custom HTTP headers, then finally sends the request to your ASP.NET application * The ASP.NET application looks in HttpRequest.Headers for information about the logged in user What you do with it from there is up to you. If you're using ASP.NET MVC, it's pretty easy to make an AuthorizeAttribute that looks to the headers; if you're using ASP.NET webforms maybe you have a Begin_Request() in your global.asax.cs that reads the headers and sets HttpContext.User. Most of the work with getting Shibboleth setup is in running the SP daemon and establishing trusted connections with the IdP - there's some metadata and key exchanges that you need to work out with the folks running the IdP, and then they need to explicitly authorize your SP. You should ask on shibboleth mailing lists http://shibboleth.net/community/lists.html for help with that. It's not that difficult, it's just a lot of nitty-gritty details that all have to match perfectly.

[Mono-dev] error when building libgdiplus
Hi, When running make, there is an error in libgdiplus/tests: libtool: link: gcc -g -O2 -pthread -o .libs/testgdi testgdi.o ../src/.libs/libgdiplus.so -lpthread -lfontconfig -pthread /usr/bin/ld: testgdi.o: undefined reference to symbol 'g_print' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'g_print' is defined in DSO /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0 so try adding it to the linker command line I see the missing library added in a Makefile, but for some reason it is not linked. Fix to this is to add -lglib-2.0 and -lX11 to LIBS variable inside Makefile. I cloned libgdiplus from github yesterday, so the problem is new I guess. No idea how could I fix it in a commit, so I though I should let you guys know about this. ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list

Perhaps the code below will help illustrate the point.
In C the tick count looks okay by my reckoning but the string representation is
bad:
Obj-C:
// NSLog(@NSDate date = %@ Mono DateTime = %@ ticks = %lld, dateNow,
dateString, ticks); says
NSDate date = 2013-07-26 09:19:30 + Mono DateTime = 01/01/0001 00:00:01
ticks = 635104271706805504
When I send the Mono DateTime to a C# property incoming argument gets logged as:
C#:
DateMethod arguments : 01/01/0001 00:00:01 ticks = 12436392
This is on Mono 3.0.10. I will check out 3.2.0
Obj-C:
- (void)testDateRepresentation
{
NSDate *dateNow = [NSDate date];
MonoObject *monoDateTime = [dateNow monoDateTime];
NSDate *dateFromMonoObject = [[NSDate alloc}
initWithMonoDateTime:monoDateTime];
// validate the NSDate representation
NSAssert(fabs([dateFromMonoObject timeIntervalSinceDate:dateNow]) 0.1,
@bad date); // sanity check
// validate the Mono representatiom
int64_t ticks = DB_UNBOX_INT64(DBMonoObjectGetProperty(monoDateTime,
Ticks));
MonoString *monoString = mono_object_to_string(monoDateTime, NULL);
NSString *dateString = [NSString stringWithMonoString:monoString];
NSLog(@NSDate date = %@ Mono DateTime = %@ ticks = %lld, dateNow,
dateString, ticks); // see output above ^
}
// NSDate
- (id)initWithMonoDateTime:(MonoObject *)monoDateTime {
MonoObject *boxedTicks = DBMonoObjectGetProperty(monoDateTime,
Ticks);
int64_t ticks = DB_UNBOX_INT64(boxedTicks);
NSTimeInterval interval = (NSTimeInterval)(ticks -
EPOCH_START_DIFFERENCE) / NET_TICKS_PER_SECOND;
self = [self initWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:interval];
return(self);
}
// Mono property
MonoObject *DBMonoObjectGetProperty(MonoObject *monoObject, const char
*propertyName) {
MonoObject *monoException = NULL;
MonoClass *klass = mono_object_get_class(monoObject);
MonoMethod *monoMethod = GetPropertyGetMethod(klass, propertyName);

Re: [Mono-list] Downloading mono for Windows
Hey. I just heard about mono and was going to try it out but i can't download it for my windows computer. This is what occurs: http://download.mono-project.com/archive/2.10.12/windows-installer/0/mono-2.10.12-gtksharp-2.12.11-win32-0.exe http://download.mono-project.com/archive/2.10.12/windows-installer/0/mono-2.10.12-gtksharp-2.12.11-win32-0.exe It seems that you're downloading a version that does not exist for Windows.

Correct link: http://download.mono-project.com/archive/2.10.9/windows-installer/0/mono-2.10.9-gtksharp-2.12.11-win32-0.exe It seems that the last version available depends on the platform used. For example, the last stable version of mono, 3.2.0, is only available as binary for Mac.

mono_object_to_string () is buggy with respect to value types:
Thanks Robert
Patching mono_object_to_string gives the right string rep.

Will try and figure out what is going on with the tick count.
The tick count looks okay on the C side as far as I can see.
So perhaps the invocation code is at fault here:
MonoObject *DBMonoObjectInvoke(MonoObject *monoObject, const char *methodName,
int numArgs, va_list va_args) {
MonoObject *monoException = NULL;
MonoObject *retval = NULL;
MonoClass *klass = mono_object_get_class(monoObject);
MonoMethod *meth = GetMonoObjectMethod(monoObject, methodName);
if(meth != NULL) {
void *invokeObj = mono_class_is_valuetype(klass) ?
mono_object_unbox(monoObject) : monoObject;
void *monoArgs[numArgs];
DBPopulateMethodArgsFromVarArgs(monoArgs, va_args, numArgs);
retval = mono_runtime_invoke(meth, invokeObj, monoArgs,
monoException);
}
if(monoException != NULL)
@throw(NSExceptionFromMonoException(monoException));
return(retval);
}
// mono_object_to_string is buggy
// https://github.com/mono/mono/pull/708/files
MonoString *
mono_object_to_string_ex (MonoObject *obj, MonoObject **exc)
{
static MonoMethod *to_string = NULL;
MonoMethod *method;
void *target = obj;
//g_assert (obj);
if (!to_string)
to_string = mono_class_get_method_from_name_flags
(mono_get_object_class (), ToString, 0, 0x0040 | 0x0006);
method = mono_object_get_virtual_method (obj, to_string);
// Unbox value type if needed
if (mono_class_is_valuetype (mono_method_get_class (method))) {
target = mono_object_unbox (obj);
}
return (MonoString *) mono_runtime_invoke (method, target, NULL, exc);

My comprehension was at fault. DateTime is a value type and I wasn't unboxing
it prior to invoking the property:

[Mono-list] Hiring Startup Developers
We're a startup, developing a .Net/mono based client/server app hopefully worth $millions a year. We're hiring the first round of developers aside from the founders, which means it's quite possibly the best opportunity you'll find to get in at the ground level, and actually retain a significant percentage ownership of the company where you work. If nothing else, it's bound to be exciting! ;-) We're looking for a range of Jr to Sr developers. A Jr developer should have at least some formal exposure to C# / .Net, and other tech experience - as a developer or doing IT. Preference given to cross-platform exposure, windows/mac/linux. A Sr developer should have either at least intermediate C# / .Net experience with significant other professional software development in a managed language, or extensive C# / .Net experience, with preference given to mono and cross-platform exposure. Must be legal to work in the US.
