Upgraded to MediaWiki 1.22.2 due to a critical flaw in Mediawiki; now I can't login anymore via VBSSO. It claims it logs in but it does not.

I successfully linked my wordpress with vbulletin but when I view the vbSSO settings, the vBulletin Usergroup and Wordpress usergroup are mapped but when I view a specific user, their usergroup is not correct. Any suggestions?

Not long after the blank screens appeared, they disappeared again.
But the mod still worked.

I've now upgraded to 4.2.2 (Even with plugins disabled, this mod caused me problems during the upgrade. I had to actually disable the mod as well).

Anyway due to the double posting issue in 4.2.2, I uninstalled VBSSO (and others plugins) in VB, and now I've reinstalled it I need to get to these screens to configure the platform for mediawiki.

I cannot access the above screens, or "Logging and Notification" or "Warnings".
I've read through a fair bit of this thread. Others have had similar issues, but no resolution has been posted.

I have made sure all VBSSO code is accessible, and I have disable all other plugins and it still doesn't work.

Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?

After much trying. I had to set all VBSSO files to CHMOD 755.
Then i restarted apache a few times before it kicked in.
I now have access to all screens.

Works like a bought one.

30 days later and the bugs in this mod are still not resolved, or acknowledged by the developer. I would consider this mod "as-Is" "where-is" and "Unsupported"

Try contacting them again. A Developer may mark a mod as supported but simply forget to check in on it every so often or not at all, this depends solely on the developer respectfully.

Please note that when donating to a developer for a mod, you're doing just that and nothing more or less. This assumption some tend to have that you're entitled to "something" since you donated money is not accurate and is a false assumption - if you donate, then you donate out of the kindness of your heart, that is what a donation is meant to be and you will receive nothing in return unless the developer does so out of the kindness of their heart ;).

If this SSO "issue" is in fact a major security issue then please let us know and point out where/how you believe it to be so and we'll quarantine the mod and ask the developer to fix. Since there are many other variations of this mod meant to work with systems other than wordpress it will remain up and quite possibly another member may investigate and provide a fix before the developer does, that has happened in the past in other mod threads and will continue to happen :cool:.

Emailed them a few times, I will PM you the responses....

The issue is that the system allows you to register on either the vBulletin platform or the Wiki Media platform, bypassing normal registration channels and allows attackers to create user accounts. This is the entire point of the software, and it fails.

We have all normal registration paths disabled on our Wiki installs, funneling everything thru vBulletin/vBSSO, and we go thru and clear out 10 accounts a week on the Wiki that were never created within vBulletin. Add to that, as soon as an account is created on vBulletin, vBSSO creates the account on all other platforms, rather then waiting for the account to be approved.

We collect all the facts thrown here. MediaWiki changes their versions from time to time and there is a new bug https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56269 impacted to the extension.

Single sign on between completely different platforms significantly depends on changes in that platforms, hosting configuration, .htaccess configuration, files permissions and a lot of other stuff.

Yes, of course it becomes more complex solution to support this and model is currently revised to publish out much better way to handle this.

You guys I meant that as an in-general statement regarding the Donate button here on most modification threads if the developer has entered in a paypal address in his/her settings it had nothing to do with the vbsso site at all... I see now that you meant their but ok so let's just agree to disagree here by reading the below :p.

I'm assuming that you must manually initiate an upgrade to mediawiki correct? If so then that means you cannot use a newer version with this mod or more specifically you cannot use a version higher than the one used before the bug was introduced until it is fixed (unless that bug has always existed). It's one of those scenarios we see on rare occasions where a mod has not been updated to run on a newer version of vBulletin or php for that matter and if it's someothing a site depends on heavily they tend to not upgrade until the mod is updated to work properly with vB/php version. What that bug states is what you're describing pmcpa and see the comment made on Feb 4th of this year per the link above, seems like a fix is planned for the next release of mediawiki.

xeagle thank you for the links and clarification ;).

Pointless arguing removed.

This thread is for support of the modifcation only, not arguing about buttons on other sites.

1. I cannot access my adminCP. It just keeps taking me back to the home page. I can sign in, sign out of the forum just fine.

2. Regular users (registered) cannot post comments when using the JetPack plug-in.

This wouldn't happen to allow integration with multiple vbulletin forums now would it?

SirSteve, #1 don't you have a redirect rules created in .htaccess that might impact it? #2. What error message do get users when they try to post comments using the JetPack?

vBSSO currently provides the way to connect any number of vBulletin forums.

Hello there,

I am looking to moving my current D6 site to D7.

I am currently trying to get vbsso to work locally (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) with a Drupal 7.26 and vBullettin 4.2.2.

With the module enabled in Drupal, and putting the shared key from Drupal into vbsso settings in vBulletin, I keep getting the following error

Unable to verify platform [http://testsite.local/vbsso/1.0] Please analyze log files located at `/var/www/vhosts/testsiteforum/webroot/vbsso/logs/` to detect the cause of the issue.

Error message:

There is nothing in the log file.

Is this anything to do with me using a local setup for testing?

I’ve searched the Forum on vBulletin.org, but can’t find any replies to similar problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

vBSSO works locally, could you please take a look at your web server logs. If vBSSO logs are empty it means the error should be captured and by web server log. Secondly you should ensure [http://testsite.local/vbsso/1.0] is accessible by your vBulletin forum, (PHP Curl extension should be turned on). Hope this would help you.

Thanks for getting back to me xeagle.

Curl is enabled on my local set up and still no luck.

I have got an error log, and pasted it below.

I don't know if it helps, but when I paste the platform address from Drupal 7 in my browser I am getting this.

{"product":6,"version":"7.26","plugin_version":"1. 0.1"}

And the platform address from vBulletin is giving me this.

{"product":1,"version":"4.2.2","plugin_version":"1 .4.12"}

Would be really good to get this resolved, as the Forum is a big part of my site, and though it's not the end of the world, I know it would upset a few people if I have to tell them they have to log in to the site and Forum separately.

It says "name lookup timed out" error, it means that your host "testsite.local" is unresolvable. You should map your host in /etc/hosts file in case of Linux or c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts in case of Windows.

Hey there! I'm wondering when or if you guys will be supporting vB 5 Connect with this modification? Thanks!

Thanks for getting back to me again xeagle.

testsite.local is mapped to my windows hosts file, and I stuck it in my Linux hosts file too, and I'm still getting the same error.

Just doesn't seem to want to connect my platforms.

Wouldn't it to be easy to install this on any shared hosting and check it out? There is another error related to your curl connection and makes sense to install on working hosting instead of trying to troubleshoot issues on localhost... Why wouldn't be reasonable to rename your host to "localhost" and run everything on "localhost"?

I have tried this on my VPS but still seemed to have trouble connecting.

I will give it a try again later in the week xeagle and get back to you. Thanks for your help so far.

Thanks! very nice! vb 4.2.2 + wp 3.8.1 connect! but avatars not sync

how to synchronize avatars?

Do you have any other avatar plugin installed? What's the url to check your website?

Kindly bumping this since I've gotten no response yet and I'm working on a time-sensitive project that could use this in vb5 :)

Unfortunately we don't expect any supportive release for vBulletin 5 in February and in March 2014. Please keep in mind this information.

Trying to test this on a local install with VB 4.2.2 and WP 3.8.1

I am getting his error when trying to connect the 2.

Hi all,

I'm currently using the vBSSO plugin on a production website. Although the plugin is functioning perfectly and as-expected, we are admittedly having some issues with logging into accounts.

Here is what they sent me:
Note that I have customized the message so the above error message, when default, is the "has not satisfied the single sign-on requirements" error.

We've also had issues of this nature between vBulletin and WordPress when the email addresses of existing accounts vs. forum accounts are not the same, causing a user that would normally have WordPress access to receive the above error message, however I have done my best to resolve those issues with minimal interference.

Would it be possible to shed some light on why my users would have issues logging into their accounts normally, through vBulletin? I would greatly appreciate it!

It is wrong path:
Look at "wp-config.php", line 90. It should be like this:

Hi, Kesha!
Thank you for your patience. Could you please contact support team http://vbsso.com/report-an-issue/ describing the steps you use to reproduce your case on your website. Thank you and have a nice day!

does this make people who register with wordpress also registered with vbulletin?

Hi, OP Coupon !

When vBSSO enabled, registration process proceed through vBulletin. Registered users also appers in all connected platforms.
Have a nice mood everyday!

Hello xeagle,

Can you tell me the purpose of the Google tag that presents itself after installing this plugin?

Thanks!

In meantime while the new system is in progress of development to differentiate purchases who have bought "footer-removal" option and who didn't buy, but turned it off, it is used to look for the illegal usage, warn and close the option to turn the option off.

Thanks!

Hello Xeagle,

When will you release the footer-removal option?

Thanks.

Nevermind. I've answered my question.

I am sorry bro I am not understand forgive me for asking again but ehre is what i want to know

most people use wordpress as a home page so they would go to wordpress first, if they sign up and register on wordpress will it also register then to the forum?

After vBSSO installation and connecting platform to it (Wordpress in your case) all "Login" and "Registration" links of any platform would provide to vBulletin "Login" and "Registration" pages.

So, in global meaning the answer will "Yes", but in revert direction:
people who register with vbulletin also will registered with wordpress.
