Comment 1 Michael Grandjean univentionstaff 2017-10-23 12:37:14 CEST
Aufgetreten beim Erstellen einer Arbeitsgruppe als Lehrer (oder Schuladmin) auf einem UCS@school Edu-Slave. Passiert nur bei vorheriger erfolgreicher Anmeldung mit SAML über ucs-sso. Bei "direkter" Anmeldung über die lokale UMC (bspw. forciert durch Verwendung der IP) funktioniert das Anlegen der Arbeitsgruppe. Ist nur den Lehrkräften nicht zumutbar.

Comment 2 Florian Best univentionstaff 2017-10-23 13:55:10 CEST
I think there might be 2 reasons for this bug/traceback:

The SSL certificates on either the IDP side (1) or on the SP side (2) aren't recent (anymore).

The following files can help to analyze this:

1.
On all IDP Servers (= DC Master + DC Backups):
$ cat /etc/simplesamlphp/*-idp-certificate.crt

On the Service-Provider Server:
$ cat /usr/share/univention-management-console/saml/idp/*.xml

→ The certificates on these files should be identical.
Otherwise this could be fixed by removing /usr/share/univention-management-console/saml/idp/*.xml on the SP server and force-re-executing the joinscript 92univention-management-console-web-server.

2.
On all Service-Provider Servern the SSL-Certificates needs to be compared with them stored in LDAP:

$ cat /etc/univention/ssl/$(hostname -f)/cert.pem

$ univention-ldapsearch -LLL
"(&(serviceProviderMetadata=*)(univentionObjectType=saml/serviceprovider)(SAMLServiceProviderIdentifier=https://$(hostname
-f)/univention/saml/metadata))" serviceProviderMetadata  |
ldapsearch-wrapper | ldapsearch-decode64

→ If they don't match, it might help to execute:
/usr/share/univention-management-console/saml/update_metadata

See also Bug #40229 comment 7 if the root CA certificate was exchanged/renewed.
Comment 3 Michael Grandjean univentionstaff 2017-10-24 10:51:13 CEST
For the record:

I can confirm that in my case (Comment #1) Forian's first suggestion applied. 
The certificate in "/etc/simplesamlphp/*-idp-certificate.crt" on the UCS Master was different from:
- "/etc/simplesamlphp/*-idp-certificate.crt" on the UCS Backup
- "/usr/share/univention-management-console/saml/idp/*.xml" on all (UMC) Service Provider servers

So we had Certificate A as IdP certificate on the UCS Master but Certificate B everywhere else.

This was most probably a leftover of an incomplete renewal of the SSL certificate chain.

To resolve the issue I copied "/usr/share/univention-management-console/saml/idp/*.xml" from the UCS Backup to the UCS Master and forced "92univention-management-console-web-server". Deleting "/usr/share/univention-management-console/saml/idp/*.xml" as suggested did let the joinscript fail.
Comment 4 Florian Best univentionstaff 2017-11-17 17:46:55 CET
My idea for a solution of this bugfix is the following:
Instead of a traceback a regular error message is shown in the error.
Additionally a check for the diagnosis UMC module gets implemented which checks both variants from comment #2 and provides a link to https://help.univention.com/t/renewing-the-ssl-certificates/37 and a button which can resolve the problem.
Comment 5 Florian Best univentionstaff 2017-12-18 12:20:42 CET
There is a starting patch in branch fbest/45515-saml-certificate-verification-fails. But the "solve" buttons don't work on a DC Slave because I cannot execute joinscripts without credentials.
Comment 6 Johannes Keiser univentionstaff 2018-05-03 12:47:45 CEST
Reported again: Version: 4.2-3 errata312 (Lesum)
Comment 7 Dirk Wiesenthal univentionstaff 2018-05-23 13:19:29 CEST
Fixed in
  univention-management-console-module-diagnostic 4.0.0-29A~4.3.0.201805231241

I only used used the checks suggested in fbest/45515-saml-certificate-verification-fails. I got the join script to work, but I am not sure if this fixes the issue reliably. So there is no solution yet.
Comment 8 Jannik Ahlers univentionstaff 2018-06-05 10:08:20 CEST
I wasn't able to reproduce the tracebacks, so i couldn't check if a new error message gets shown.
OK: the diagnostic module correctly recognizes the error
FAIL: The diagnostic module neither provides a 'solve' button nor a link to the sdb article
-> reopened
Comment 9 Dirk Wiesenthal univentionstaff 2018-06-06 11:19:10 CEST
You are right, there is no solve button; the diagnose plugin only describes the problem. I am not sure how this problem emerges from some misconfiguration, and I do not want to add an automatic fix that does not work.

Instead I opened Bug#47047, which says that
  univention-run-join-scripts --force --run-scripts 92univention-management-console-web-server
_may_ solve it.

This bug can be found by using the headline of the problem as the search term... Not ideal, but providing a "solve" button that may or may not work seems worse.
