Hi devs,
In writing my own auth plugin I want the ability to run XWiki in
anonymous browsing mode as well as the login request triggering my
particular auth jar (much like
xwiki.org - you can many pages w/out
actually authenticating). I have two resulting questions.
1)
Is there a magic user name in the form of XWiki."anonymous"/Guest etc..
that I can return in my checkAuth? OR am I thinking about this
incorrectly and xwiki already knows that this user is who the context is
representing..
2)
I see in reading the xwiki.cfg and tutuorials on how to run your own
authentication code that there is a way to override the login page
within the config. Is there also a way to "override" the call to the
login? I know in (cough,cough) confluence they have a seraph mechanism
that you can override what the login action is... looking for something
similar here..
I've thought of perhaps using an apache rewrite rule on the
login/XWikiLogin page to trigger my auth
Thanks guys..
