Shibboleth Plugin in OJS 3

• In multi-journal installations, I can enable the plugin and open the plugin settings on the site (admin) level. In single-journal installations, I cannot enable the plugin on the journal level. I get a notification that the plugin is enabled, but the checkbox is not checked and I cannt access the settings. A bug?

Yes, and apparently longstanding one: Plugin tickbox not getting enabled · Issue #3 · pkp/shibboleth · GitHub

• Do I still need to set up the entries in config.inc.php in OJS 3?

I don’t think so. I only see references to plugin settings in the Handler.

• The version number does not seem to be correct: https://github.com/pkp/shibboleth/blob/stable-3_1_2/version.xml#L16

Alec bumped this to a 1.0 release in master, but we probably don’t want to package it as a 1.0 release until the above bug is fixed.

@carola

• In OJS 2, implicit_auth (in config.inc.php) could be set to “optional”. https://github.com/pkp/ojs/blob/ojs-stable-2_4_8/config.TEMPLATE.inc.php#L268. Has this option been removed in OJS 3? https://github.com/pkp/ojs/blob/stable-3_1_2/config.TEMPLATE.inc.php#L275

Yes, this plugin is “all or nothing” currently.
