Hi,
Thanks for helping. My precise problem is that it is not possible to load
the page XWiki.XWikiLogin with the use of XMLHttpRequest in javascript. I
have tested this when logged in and when not logged in.
This is the example code (from W3Schools.com, a little bit compressed):
{{velocity}}
{{html}}
<h2>Using the XMLHttpRequest object</h2>
<button type="button" onclick="loadXMLDoc()">Change
Content</button>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
function loadXMLDoc() {
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
else xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200)
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
};
xmlhttp.open("GET",
"$xwiki.getURL('XWiki.XWikiLogin','login')?xpage=plain", true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
{{/html}}
{{/velocity}}
This results in a console logged javascript error report stating a "401:
Unauthorized" error.
I have tried it with another page in the XWiki space and that page /can/
be requested via GET.
So I suspect it is not the space but the page
(XWiki.XWikiLogin) that
cannot be fetched via a GET request in javascript.
Have you tried accessing the XWiki.XWikiLogin page in view mode? i.e.
/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiLogin . If you do you'll see that it doesn't
event exist. The login UI is defined in a Velocity template, login.vm,
which is associated with the 'login' action (that you specify in the URL).
Regards,
Jan-Paul

The login page of XWiki is situated in the XWiki
space. From this space
it
is not possible to load pages with a XMLHttpRequest in javascript.
Please be more precise on your original problem. What have you tried and
what has failed?
The only particularity about the XWiki space is that it has a space-level
edit right restriction, allowing only XWikiAdminGroup to edit, but that`s
about it so I`m not sure you need to go through the trouble of creating a
new login page.
Thanks,
Eduard
I want to work around this by creating a seperate login page with exactly
the same content as the current XWiki login page.
I would like to know if this will pose a security risk or not. I do not
understand why it should but I am asking you to make sure I am not
forgetting anything.
If you like I can share the procedure with you because I think it can be
an improvement over the current situation.
Kind regards,
Jan-Paul Kleijn
