Authentication user provider [shibboleth] is not defined.

[jpuck]

App won't load when changing the driver, so I'm not sure what I'm missing.

Using laravel 5.3

composer require saitswebuwm/shibboleth ^1.1 installed no problem.

vendor published migrations ran no problem and tables created in database.

config/app.php

    'providers' => [
        ...
        StudentAffairsUwm\Shibboleth\ShibbolethServiceProvider::class,
        ...
    ],

config/auth.php

    'providers' => [
        'users' => [
            'driver' => 'shibboleth',
            'model' => App\User::class,
        ],
    ],
    'group_model' => 'App\Group',

What am I missing? Thanks

Are any error messages being thrown by Laravel?

Hi @cjmaio thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Yes, the error message is the subject of my issue. Here's the full error for completeness:

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

It seems compatibility breaks after Laravel 5.1. You should update the requirements in composer.json to reflect this, or update the library for >5.2

I was able to get past the error by changing this line:

$this->app['auth']->extend('shibboleth', function ($app) {

to use provider instead of extend

$this->app['auth']->provider('shibboleth', function ($app) {
