WDYT about this? should we keep it like that? (A) If I understand correctly, it means XWiki will not be an OpenSocial container, but will provide a "conversion" layer to make OpenSocial gadgets work with the XWiki gadget (= macros) system. I'm not sure it's the proper approach. It will not encourage developers of XWiki application / macros etc. to write their gadgets as OpenSocial gadgets, since writing XWiki macros will be enough (so it will not be possible to display a XWiki gadget in say JIRA). Plus, if we make XWiki an OpenSocial container, it does not prevent us from writing a generic XWiki gadget that can wrap any macro thus not adding too much weight on developers.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Changing the RightService API

by Andreas Jonsson

I will make two proposals for changing the RightService API: The first does not actually change any code, but it is a preparation for future changes. I want to be sure that the methods checkAccess and hasAccessLevel aren't used interchangeably; it should be well defined when to use one or the other. The second proposal is a complete rework of the API, which might be a bit further into the future. 1. Change the semantics of hasAccessLevel slightly. Currently the method hasAccessLevel is defined as: /** * Verifies if the user identified by {@code username} has the * access level identified by {@code right} on the document with * the name {@code docname}. I would like to make a change the describing text into: /** * Decides whether the access level given by {@code right} should * be granted during rendering of the document identified by * {@code docname} by request of the user identified by {@code * username}. In other words, the rights queried for is tied to the thread executing a request on behalf of the user. In contrast, the checkAccess method queries for the configured rights of a particular user. This suggests that the underlying implementation may choose to base its decision on more things than the given user and document, and thus opens up for more possibilities to change the security policy. For instance, hasAccessLevel("programming", context.getUser(), docname, context) could be made equivalent to hasProgrammingRights(context.getWiki().getDocument(docname), context) In the current implementation, XWikiRightServiceImpl, the methods checkAccess and hasAccessLevel can be used interchangeably once the user have been authenticated. But it seems that the current usage pattern more or less matches the above change in semantics already. 2. Deprecate all methods in the current API and introduce the following new ones: boolean checkAccess(String action, EntityReference entity); boolean userHasRight(DocumentReference userIdentity, Right right, EntityReference entity); boolean hasAccessLevel(Right right); Iterable<Right> getEnabledRights(EntityType entityType); The differences are: 1. The context parameter is dropped. The right service can have an Execution instance injected instead. 2. No exceptions are thrown. Instead, on error, log and deny access. 3. Identify users by the DocumentReference of their profile page. 4. Introduction of the enum 'Right'. 5. The rights are controlled against entities identified by EntityReferences that may be of type WIKI, SPACE or DOCUMENT. 6. Add a new method, userHasRight, for querying for the specific rights of a given user on a given entity, where the entity may be wiki, space or document. This method replaces the method hasAdminRights. I guess this method will be primarily used by the user interface. 7. hasAccessLevel have the same change in semantics as mentioned above, and could thus replace the hasProgrammingRights methods. In other words, hasAccessLevel provides the answer to the question "should access for an operation that requires the specified right be granted given the current context?" Within the lifecycle of a request, first a call should be made to checkAccess to authenticate the user and to grant access to the specific action. Subsequent security checkpoinst should normally use hasAccessLevel. 8. The listAllLevels-method is moved to the Right enum class. The right service could instead provide a method that lists what rights are enabled at a particular level in the document hierarchy, i.e., the getEnabledRights method, which I guess is relevant for the rights manager. So, what do you think? Best regards, Andreas Jonsson

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Why don't we use XWQL and the Query Manager + ScriptService

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, I'm wondering why we haven't moved to using XQL instead of HQL. Any reason? If not, I'd like to suggest we start using it everywhere we currently use HQL since XWQL since is much nicer. Also since we don't use it our users don't use it. Additionally I'd like to propose that we move to a ScriptService to access the query manager. From Velocity you'd write the following to get a Query: $services.query.xwql("....") Note that the ScriptService implementation would replace the SecureQueryManager implementation. We would also deprecate XWiki.getQueryManager. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Support skin inheritence for file system skin

by Ludovic Dubost

Hi, I believe we need to implement skin inheritence for file system skins. We do have skin inheritence for skins stored in Wiki pages but we don't have it for FS skins. So we cannot have albatross <-> colibri <-> myskin <-> wiki page skin To implement this we could just use a file called "parent" which would contain the name of the parent skin. WDYT ?

[xwiki-devs] [proposal] Add support for secet token verification

by Alex Busenius

Hi, I would like to add support for secret token verification to prevent CSRF attacks (see http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4873). The main idea is to add a random token as a parameter to each request that requires edit/comment/admin rights and check that this token is present on the server side. Since there are many ways one can modify documents, it would require many changes all over the place, in particular: * add a public method to XWikiContext: String getSecretToken() that generates a random token and caches it in the session * add a public method to XWikiRightService*: boolean isRequestLegitimate(String action, XWikiContext context) to check if the given action is allowed to be executed * add the following API methods to Context: String getSecretToken() boolean checkSecretToken() for including the secret token into forms/AJAX requests and checking that the current request is legitimate * add a new configuration parameter core.useSecretTokenValidation for disabling this functionality, and the corresponding method useSecretTokenValidation() to CoreConfiguration and DefaultCoreConfiguration * use the secret token (hidden input for forms or parameter of GET requests) in all templates (*.vm files in web/standard and skins, velocity macros in applications/**/resources/*.xml) * check the secret token in Save/Delete/Upload/etc.-Actions and throw an exception to deny the access if the check fails * check the secret token in all templates that directly modify data (e.g. web/standard/src/main/webapp/templates/admin.vm) * fix all selenium tests that directly modify pages using the open(...) method * make sure nothing else is broken WDYT? Thanks, Alex
