Laravel 5.2 reset password + Mandrill - laravel

I have Laravel 5.2 fresh installation.
I did following:
I have set up my .env file
MAIL_DRIVER=mandrill
SECRET=my_mandrill_api_key
I have installed Guzzle (https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle)
I have setup my email in view (https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/5.0/resources/views/emails/password.blade.php)
I have fixed the certificate issue (PHP cURL error code 60)
So it seems everything is done correctly.
When I fill email to reset password and press Send Password Reset Link button, I get following error
Server error: POST
https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/messages/send-raw.json resulted in a
500 Internal Server Error response:
{"status":"error","code":-1,"name":"ValidationError","message":"You
must specify a key value"}
I have check my log in Mandrill (https://mandrillapp.com/settings/api) there is no logs for my action.
From the error of Mandrill, I know it does not get the api key, so for some reason the api key and other values is not passing over to Mandrill api.
Question: What is missing/wrong?
Note: right now I am working on my local environment building the app. My local environment Windows 10/Bitnami WAMP stack 7/ I am also using Mandrill API.

If you are using the Mandrill driver then you must set the MANDRILL_SECRET in your .env file.
The other settings MAIL_HOST, MAIL_PORT and so on are for use with other drivers.
See the documentation here about using the Mandrill driver. It mentions that you should set the Mandrill key in config/services.php but you should really set that using an environment variable, so if you have customized the file change it back to
'mandrill' => [
'secret' => env('MANDRILL_SECRET'),
],
Then you will be able to read the MANDRILL_SECRET value from the .env file.
So in your .env file you'll have;
MAIL_DRIVER=mandrill
MANDRILL_SECRET=your_mandrill_key_here

laravel swift-mailer exception "Expected response code 250 but got an empty response" using gmail smtp-relay (database queue driver)

the gmail smtp-relay works fine using the sync driver, but if we queue the email we this error. cleared config, cache, & restarted queue workers. tested in prod and dev, same results
[2021-01-24 20:04:22] production.ERROR: Expected response code 250 but got an empty response {"exception":"[object] (Swift_TransportException(code: 0): Expected response code 250 but got an empty response at /home/****/****/vendor/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/AbstractSmtpTransport.php:448)
were wondering is this because of serialization and something is not making it through that process???
using latest stable release of laravel >8.0. gmail smtp is authenticating just fine, per why the sync driver sends emails easily. maybe there needs to be a timeout on the queue jobs so they dont barrage gmail so quickly? also our code works fine using sendgrid for example as the smtp relay. thanks.
See https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/laravel-swift-mailer-exception-expected-response-code-250-but-got-an-empty-response-using-gmail-smtp-relay-database-queue-driver
Update your AppServiceProvider.php
add this inside boot();
// Fix for SwiftMailer Service;
$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] = "your.domain.name";
For users of smtp-relay.gmail.com, if you use localhost/127.0.0.1 as domain during developments, you probably need to change the domain name to use in EHLO command to begin the transaction. I solved this by adding &local_domain=dev.mydomain.tld at the and of my DSN.
smtp://smtp-relay.gmail.com:587?encryption=tls&local_domain=dev.mydomain.tld&...
For SwiftMailer Symfony bundle (since 2.4.0), you can set the local_domain config parameter:
// config/packages/dev/swiftmailer.yaml
swiftmailer:
...
local_domain: dev.mydomain.tld
Explanation for the 2 previous Answers
if $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] is the solution:
When you are using cron
The reason is that $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] is null when cron is executed. $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] is usually only defined for http access.
Example implementation (laravel):
if (!isset($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'])) {
$url = config('env.APP_URL');
$domain = mb_ereg_replace("http(s)? ://", "", $url);
$domainParts = explode('/', $domain);
ini_set('server_name', count($domainParts) > 0 ? $domainParts[0] : $domain)
}
References :
Cron Job $_SERVER issue
https://github.com/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/issues/992
if 'local_domain' is the solution
When you have a mailhost setting of MAIL_HOST=smtp-relay.gmail.com in your laravel project
The reason is that if local_domain' is not set, the protocol for mail communication with Gmail will be EHLO [127.0.0.1]` and the communication will be disconnected.
By the way, I used gmail->gmail alias and did not need relay in the first place, so I solved the problem by setting MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com.
References:
https://blog.trippyboy.com/2021/laravel/laravel-expected-response-code-250-but-got-an-empty-response/
I had to deal with both of them because of cron messaging and MAIL_HOST=smtp-relay.gmail.com in my environment.
I hope this information will help you.

Laravel auth nothing happen when trying to login with default laravel auth page

I have previously transferred laravel from server to another by copying the laravel project folder, now when i try to login using default laravel auth page , if i enter wrong auth value i get error auth.failed
but when i enter a valid auth value the page refresh but nothing happen.
I notice from browser view source the value of CSRF token is changing one i enter the valid auth value
I tried to delete the session files /storage/framework/sessions
and tried
php artisan view:clear
php aritsan cache:clear
but nothing happen.
How can i fix this issue.
Use Laravel Debugbar for easily debugging such kind of cases.
It's good, simple and sweet ^
I fixed the issue.
In the previous server i was using SSL for my domain so the cookies setting in /config/session.php was true:-
'secure' => env('SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE', true),
Since, the current new server i am not using https when i open my website, so i set the value to false
'secure' => env('SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE', false),
Now everything working fine.

Trying to set up CAS with my Laravel project

I am using subfission/cas for my application. I have followed all installation steps. I am using windows, if that matters. More precisely, I have configured the following:
I ran the following in my terminal
composer require "subfission/cas" "dev-master"
I configured my Kernel.php accordingly, adding the following:
'cas.auth' => 'Subfission\Cas\Middleware\CASAuth',
'cas.guest' => 'Subfission\Cas\Middleware\RedirectCASAuthenticated',
I ran the following command:
php artisan vendor:publish
I also set up my cas server in my cas.php config file:
'cas_hostname' => env('CAS_HOSTNAME', 'cas.myserver.me'),
'cas_real_hosts' => env('CAS_REAL_HOSTS', 'cas.myserver.me'),
What I want is a middleware for all my routes, so I added the following route rule in my routes:
Route::middleware(['cas.auth'])->group(function ()
{
Route::get('/', function ()
{
return view('welcome');
});
});
Basically, I want to redirect everyone who is not logged in to the login page whenever I access the main page (for now, I will add more routes in the future). What happens is that the users are redirected to the login page when they are not logged in, but after the login I receive the following error:
ErrorException (E_WARNING)
DOMDocument::loadXML(): Opening and ending tag mismatch: hr line 1 and body in Entity, line: 1
No matter what view I'm redirecting the user to. I tried the default welcome page as well as an empty view, but I still get the same error.
EDIT: I have used the dev-master branch from subfission/cas for the above error and after switching to 2.1.1, I get a different error:
session_name(): Cannot change session name when headers already sent
EDIT 2: I did some more digging and I enabled internal errors in my cas client class with:
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
And now I get the following:
Authentication failure: SA not validated Reason: bad response from the CAS server
And the cas response is:
The thing is that I use the same cas server for another 2 projects and it works well for those (but those aren't laravel projects.
I know it's been a while, but for anyone else having issues like this, the issue is the protocol selected for which your web service communicates with your CAS(Central Authentication Service) provider. There are two main protocols used for SSO/CAS in this package:
SAML(Security Assertion Markup Language) version 1.1 & 2
CAS Protocol v3.0
[Confusingly enough, CAS protocol shares the same namespace as the service.]
The idea is to match the protocol and version with your identity provider. It sounds like your provider is using CASv3.0, which is why disabling SAML worked.
Also, if you enable debug mode, you will see further error details in your log file to help your troubleshoot.
Best of luck!
I managed to solve the issue by disabling the SAML in the cas configure file:
'cas_enable_saml' => env('CAS_ENABLE_SAML', true),
change to
'cas_enable_saml' => env('CAS_ENABLE_SAML', false),

Laravel Socialite InvalidStateException in AbstractProvider.php line 200

I'm building a web app in my local system (Ubuntu-14.04 64Bit) using laravel 5.3. I used Socialite to signin from social networks. I configured G+, Facebook, GitHug. I'm using Chromium as my default browser. Finally the problem is i'm getting
InvalidStateException in AbstractProvider.php line 200
frequently. i tried
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
composer dump-autoload
these are helping to solve the issue temporarily, again the problem raising.
please help me in this issue..
I have the same issue and I've read a lot about this, that depend if the URL where you are at the moment of the login request has www. at the beginning or not.
Into config\services.php, if you have the redirect set as http://sitename.tld/callback/facebook the oauth works if you send the login request from sitename.tld, while if you try from www.sitename.tld you get the exception.
I haven't yet understood how to have it working with and without www at the beginning.
If the AbstractProvider.php line 200 fires the exception when the state of the user is not present means that the User cannot be created.
First check your code when you get the details from the provider(facebook, github) if you create a user and you return it.
If you have managed and logged in your app and you deleted the user from the user table remember to delete also the data from the socialite account table.
I was getting that exception because 'state' wasn't saved in session. But I was using asPopup method - Socialite::driver('facebook')->asPopup()->redirect(); so I saved session then - $request->session()->save();. So I solved this issue.
or try
session()->put('state', $request->input('state'));
$user = Socialite::driver('facebook')->user();
it works
I have same issue and solved in 3 steps;
add request on the top
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
Pass request object to function
public function handleProviderCallback(Request $request)
{
try {
$user = Socialite::driver('facebook')->user();
} catch (Exception $e) {
throw new Exception;
}
}
Clear cache.
php artisan cache:clear
I had the same error but my solution was a little different. I am posting here just in case someone else keeps hitting this post like I did for a possible answer.
I develop on Ubuntu 18.04 desktop since it is a server with a GUI. Socialite works great locally but as soon as I pushed/pulled the changes through git to the server, it quit.
I was running traces by recording what was sent to and from google. I "dd($_GET)" to get a raw dump before Socialite had a chance to get the info so I knew what was stored and ready for use. All info was there but Socialite didn't seem to "see" it. That is when I reasoned it was my apache2 header configuration interfering with the cookies/session data.
I had set header security in my apache2 configs. One of the settings was
Header always edit Set-Cookie ^(.*) "$1;HttpOnly;Secure;SameSite=Strict"
This setting was interfering with the cookie information that socialite needed. I removed that setting from my apache2 header config(by commenting out) and restarted Apache. Finally I removed all sessions in storage/framework/session/* and cleared them from my browser just to be sure. That worked for me.
After I got it working, one by one enabled and tested each of the following settings to have the framework secure what header info it can:
SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE=true
in my .env file
'http_only' => true, and
'same_site' => 'lax'(setting to "strict" did not seem to work)
in my config/session.php file.
Now it is back to testing security and tweaking things back if need be.

unable to access env variables in app bootstrap

I am trying to use Slack to post my debug messages to. i have followed some exmaple code and have this in my app.php file
$app->configureMonologUsing(function ($monolog) {
$monolog->pushHandler($chromeHandler = new \Monolog\Handler\ChromePHPHandler());
$chromeHandler->setFormatter(new \Monolog\Formatter\ChromePHPFormatter());
$slackHandler = new \Monolog\Handler\SlackHandler('xoxp-dasdasdzxczxcasdasdasdas', '#general');
$slackHandler->setLevel(\Monolog\Logger::INFO);
$slackHandler->setFormatter(new \Monolog\Formatter\LineFormatter());
$monolog->pushHandler($slackHandler);
});
which works and send mesages to slack using the following command
Log::info('thing to log');
I want to only send debug messages to slack if I am on a local machine.
I have tried reading in the the APP_ENV variable using env() but it is not returning anything.
I can access it using the same code in the controller. THerefore I assume it has not been loaded in the app.php file when I am trying to get it.
is there a better place to add the slack code, or anther way to detect the env variable?
