getting error: 500 GET /hub/user/(null)/ ((null)

[techie879]

Hi,

I am working setting up jhub authentication with shibboleth. I came across your post and installed it. I am getting the following error when I try to authenticate with shibboleth:

E 2018-10-05 17:24:24.077 JupyterHub log:158] 500 GET /hub/user/(null)/ ((null)@128.200.34.48) 437.95ms

Can you please shed some light into this? Here is my apache config:

RequestHeader unset Accept-Encoding
ProxyPass http://128.x.x.x:8000/
ProxyPassReverse http://128.x.x.x:8000/
ProxyPreserveHost on
AuthType shibboleth
ShibRequestSetting requireSession 1
Require valid-user
ShibUseHeaders On
RewriteEngine On

SetEnvIfNoCase ^REMOTE_USER$ ^(.*)$ Remote_user=$1
RequestHeader set X-Remote-User %{Remote_user}s env=Remote_user

This is a setup with reverse proxy, apache version 2.4.

Thanks.

You might want to take a look at the test VM I use. It uses Apache with Basic AuthN as a reverse proxy. The relevant Apache config might be useful.

I think an acquaintance of mine actually set up a Shibboleth SP using this authenticator. If I can find the settings he used, I'll try to include them as an example.
