Disable Shibboleth logic one by one url in Apache mod_rewrite
I have a web application running on PHP Codeigniter framework that uses rewrite rules to rewrite routes in front controller index.php. I want to exclude one route from shibboleth authentication.
Example:
We have 2 routes https://example.com/view/1457 and https://example.com/public/view/1457 . The first link should require the user to log in through Shibbo, while the second should not. Both routes are rewritten to https://example.com/index.php?/view/1457 and https://example.com/index.php?/public/view/1457.I have one redirect rule in apache conf for redirecting view / public / 12345 to public / view / 12345. Another non-shibbo route is / assets, which contains static files (css, js, ...)
My problem is that public routes and route redirection to public (view / public / 12345) end up in the shibbo login system. But the asset route is not.
To me, it looks like the request https://example.com/public/view/1457 is rewritten to https://example.com/index.php?/public/view/1457 and that route is not whitelisted. But after registering I am redirected to this url https://example.com/public/view/1457

I think you should use
ShibRequestSetting requireSession false
instead
ShibRequireSession Off
But this may just be a version - I'm not familiar with Shibboleth.
Also, it can be helpful to know which version of Apache you are using. The reason I am asking is because you are using a combination of Order/Allow/Deny
and Require
. The last one for Apache 2.4, and the first one for 2.2.
The past, I'm afraid I don't know how else to help.
