Kerberos authentication
by v.stoeckel＠free.fr 05 May '06

I worked on a xwiki Kerberos authentication system. I've almost finished but i've some last problems : i'm using an apache server in front of my xwiki tomcat server to perform kerberos authentication with mod_kerb. So i've created a php webpage (protected by a .htaccess file which perform kerberos authentication) on my apache server, which redirects user to: .../xwikiLogin?j_username=toto&j_password=012345789 (toto which is the name get by kerberos authentication, and 0123456789 which is not kerberos password but a secret generated for each user by the php webpage). I've developped an AuthService for xwiki which authenticate users with passwords created by php webpage (this authentication system use shared secret between apache and tomcat). So if a user (already authenticate on the KDC) went to my php webpage, he would be automatically redirected to xwiki webHome and logged in! But actually users must go to my php webpage to be logged in automatically, i would like this system to work for all xwiki pages (for example : a user who go to a xwiki page without being authentified, would be redirected to my php webpage which redirects him to the xwiki specified page after authentication). I tried to use Balancer Webapp with xwiki from tomcat5, but it created loop (endless redirections beetwen xwiki and the php webpage). So if someone have any ideas ?

Thanks but I already moved it into the mssql\bin directory.. -----Original Message----- From: Arthur Casals [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 4:19 PM To: xwiki-dev(a)objectweb.org Subject: Re: [xwiki-dev] xwiki mysql database? The file seems to be OK. Make sure your .sql file is inside the mysql\bin directory before importing it.

xwiki mysql database?
by Roger Rukundo Nzabandora 03 May '06

I am trying to install xwiki on my windows XP Pro SP2 computer. I have managed to follow all the instructions successfully up to the point of setting up the xwiki database using the command "mysql -u xwiki -pxwiki xwiki < xwiki.sql". I get an error message; "The system cannot find specified file". I am using MySQL version 5.0.11 I don't know if this could be an issue. Plus I seem to have a problem with the Database I downloaded, when I look through it I find very strange characters which might suggest that the downloadable DB is corrupted. I have attached a copy of the data base as a txt file so you can cross check it and see if there's anything wrong. I am new to this technology, please help. Thanks.

bulk loading documents
by Matthew Conway 02 May '06

02 May '06

Is it possible to bulk load documents without having to load each document individually? It seems very wasteful to have to do so many roundtrips to the db for each document, yet alone for many documents. My xwiki schema/hibernate knowledge isn't that good, so maybe there is no alternative, but I'm just wondering if someone has thought about it and come up with a way to load multiple xwikidocs (or even all of a single xwiki doc with its classes/properties/ attachments/etc) in a single query.
