[Single Sign On] {"error":"invalid_request","message":"The client_id parameter is missing."}

My code used to work months ago, but today when I tried to modify something it crash out without any reason

<?php 
require('functions.jsconnect.php');
//require_once('lib/nusoap.php');
//$cliente = new nusoap_client("https://oet.itesm.mx/portalOETWS/PortalOETWebService?WSDL");
//require_once('/www/htdocs/lib/nusoap.php');
//require_once('webservice.php');

// 1. Get your client ID and secret here. These must match those in your jsConnect settings.
$clientID = "xxx";
$secret = "xxx";

// 2. Grab the current user from your session management system or database here.
$signedIn = true; // this is just a placeholder

// YOUR CODE HERE.

// 3. Fill in the user information in a way that Vanilla can understand.
$user = array();

if ($signedIn) {
// CHANGE THESE FOUR LINES. 
    $user['uniqueid'] = '123'; 
    $user['name'] = 'John PHP'; 
    $user['email'] = 'john.php@anonymous.com'; 
    $user['photourl'] = ''; 

}
// This is in the PHP file and sends a Javascript alert to the client
//$message = "wrong answer";
//echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('$message');</script>";

// 4. Generate the jsConnect string.
// This should be true unless you are testing. 
// You can also use a hash name like md5, sha1 etc which must be the name as the connection settings in Vanilla.
    $secure = 'sha1';
    WriteJsConnect($user, $_GET, $clientID, $secret, $secure);  // for full page forum
    JsSSOString($user, $clientID, $secret);  // add this line if using an embedded forum (remove if not embedded)
//$clientID['callback'] = $_GET['callback']; // Replace $_GET with any object you use in your framework

This is the configuration of my JS Connect , as reference... the ClientID and Secret Key are the same in my code and the configuration, and the URL that result when I try to log in is this ----> http://prod010ws05.itesm.mx/index.php?p=/entry/connect/jsconnect&client_id=MyClientID

What did you modify?

danytothetowers

@hgtonight

The admin where I work changed PHP 5.3 to PHP 5.5 because besides my single sign on code, I have a webservice code that was inoperative with that version of PHP, and doing what I tell you made the webservice operative again but for some reason the other code break out.

I told you in the other discussion that changing $secure = false; to $secure = 'sha1'; and adding JsSSOString($user, $clientID, $secret); to my index.php worked for me, and I swear you that I didn't modify anything, this code break out changing PHP 5.3 to 5.5, but the point here is that it's not useful for me changing back to 5.3 because my operation depends on the webservice that works with 5.5

Just for reference, also my jsconnect configuration it's the same as I had

Sorry for my english If I repeat many words

EDIT:

I don't know if this is the reason but.... when I'm on my jsconnect configuration, I can't check this checkbox

@hgtonight

More references...

On my jsconnect settings I have this...

Authenticate Url
http://myforum.com/sso/index_sso.php

Sign In URL
http://myforum.com/?p=/entry/signin

Register URL
http://myforum.com/?p=/entry/register

Sign Out URL
http://myforum.com/index.php?p=/entry/signout&TransientKey=hereisthetransientkey

and as I told you, I can't check "make this connection your default sign in method" checkbox knowing that the default register method is connect

It could be that change to PHP 5.5 the reason that this code can't work? I think that it is not the reason, but why this code is not working if weeks ago used to work correctly???

EDIT:

Also..... When I click TEST URL I have good response... but when I access http://myforum.com/sso/index_sso.php I get this error {"error":"invalid_request","message":"The client_id parameter is missing."}

Last reference.... I tried to do exactly the same that I did here https://vanillaforums.org/discussion/32037/how-to-fix-parser-error but really really really it gives me the same error {"error":"invalid_request","message":"The client_id parameter is missing."}

Also I have been changing and changing my ClientID and Secret and still the same mistake

Any suggestion???

danytothetowers

Someone else can help me please?

@hgtonight

Hi again,
Setting false to $secure variable

$secure = false;
WriteJsConnect($user, $_GET, $clientID, $secret, $secure);

And adding this to the first lines of my code...

<?php
header('Content-Type: application/javascript');

gives me this at /sso/index.php

But it gives me this trying to see single sign on working on myforum.com

I try to add what I said here ----> https://vanillaforums.org/discussion/32037/how-to-fix-parser-error#latest

I just modified $secure = false; to $secure = 'sha1'; and it worked!!! haha and also added JsSSOString($user, $clientID, $secret); to my index.php

And I get same error --> {"error":"invalid_request","message":"The client_id parameter is missing."}

Could it be that sha1 it's not supported on PHP 5.5 ?

According to the docs, sha1() has been available since 4.3.0 and is in 5 and 7.

@hgtonight

Ok, but then what do you think it might be the problem? The client_ID it's the same of jsconnect Configuration and single sign on code
And for some reason this problem appeared when I changed 5.3 to 5.5

I've tried:

• Change jsconnect plug in to another versión
• change everything of /sso and place it in another folder
• Tried to use other hash functions

Thanks for your help

hgtonight

Have you tried running your same code on PHP 5.3?

Have you changed the domain?

@hgtonight

I think that I'm going to talk about it with my boss, because it has no sense that two codes Work correctly with two different types of PHP Versions
And more strange that my sso code was working fine and then when I uploaded 5.3 to 5.5 stopped working.

You need to update to 2.2.1 of vanilla and after the update of php, you need to delete the .ini files from the cache to get your site back.

What do you normally use to single sign in with ? Facebook or WP or what ?

You may need to revert to 5.3 for a a few minutes to test to verify that it still works as you think it does in 5.3 Then you can rule out any code changes you have made or other inconsistencies and then you can chase down the correct issue.

My code used to work months ago,

are you certain the problem is php or is just a guess. Try php 5.3 to see if this specific error goes away.
