[wordpress] Make OSGeo UserID URLS (/cgi-bin/) work

[strk]

The easiest path would probably be:

1) Make the scripts available on an ad-hoc domain

(id.osgeo.org?)

2) Redirect /cgi-bin from old and new server to

the new domain-specific PATHs

In the long run id.osgeo.org could be used as an OpenID provider...

[strk]

See #2051 for the mapping of id.osgeo.org

[strk]

Regina you want to add these redirects (this syntax is for Apache):

    Redirect /cgi-bin/ldap_create_user.py https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/create
    Redirect /cgi-bin/auth/ldap_edit_user.py https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/edit
    Redirect /cgi-bin/ldap_password_reset.py https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/reset

[strk]

Updated list of redirects (which can always be found in the "www" site in old apache config):

    RedirectPermanent /cgi-bin/ldap_create_user.py https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/create
    RedirectPermanent /cgi-bin/auth/ldap_edit_user.py https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/edit
    RedirectPermanent /cgi-bin/ldap_password_reset.py https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/reset
    RedirectPermanent /cgi-bin/ldap_web_search.py https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/search
    RedirectPermanent /cgi-bin/auth/ldap_web_search.py https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/admin/search
    RedirectPermanent /cgi-bin/auth/ldap_group.py https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/group
    RedirectPermanent /cgi-bin/auth/ldap_shell.py https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/shell

I've done this myself, and also put /etc/apache under a local git repo

[strk]

Well, the RedirectPermanent directive doesn't seem to work: ​https://staging.www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/ldap_user_create.py

There must be a Rewrite preventing that configuration from working. Anyone with better Wordpress knowledge is needed here

[strk]

What's needed is probably a RewriteCond in /var/www/osgeo.org/httpdocs/core/.htaccess (toward the bottom) - help needed

strk what's wrong here. this seem to be working fine. I checked the rules you put in place and they look fine.

I tried

​https://staging.www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/ldap_create_user.py

and it works fine redirects me to the ​https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/create as stated in the redirect rules. Your above has a typo, that's not what you put in the rewrite rules.

Anything that is not rewritten gets picked up by the wordpress catchall.

I'm marking this as done.

strk for completeness I updated the wpAuthDir blocks that show in areas login /edit profile /forgot password

login - now says this:

---

OSGeo members can login directly using their OSGeo username and password. If you don't have an OSGeo account, you can create one by going to:

​https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/create

---

forgot password /user edit screen change password(use the same block which reads)

---

To change your OSGeo password, go to: ​https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/edit

If you forgot your password, go to ​https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/reset

---

I can't block access to the forgot your password textbox, but when they try to use it, it will give an error that restates the above message.

Perfect, thanks!
