[xwiki-devs] SSO framework integration
by Markus Lanthaler 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

Hi, after evaluating possible frameworks I would propose to use OpenSSO [1] for my GSOC SSO project. It has full SAML 2.0 support, but lacks a bit regarding OpenID which isn't supported by default. There is an extension which allows OpenSSO to act as a OpenID 1.1 OP, but doesn't have RP support. OpenSSO has a very active and large community (which maybe is the strongest argument to use it). There are several requests for better OpenID support so I think that's a hot topic for them and maybe it's possible to find some other developers with whom I can add full OpenID 2.0 support. So now I'll start implementing RP support (authentication). As far as I understand the code I have to implement a XWikiAuthService analogous to the XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl, right? I also have some more questions :-) Let's start with OpenID (I'll start with that): 1.) I need to modify the login screen because I just need a field where the user can enter his OpenID URL, no password field. Then the user is redirect to his OpenID provider. How should/can I implement that? 2.) OpenIDs have to be bound to local user accounts (1:n relations, allow more OpenIDs per account) - how should this happen? In the admin GUI? Who should be allowed to do it? 3.) What about user registration? Should it be possible for users to create accounts without password and just OpenID? Please consider that XWiki should also be able to act as a provider, i.e. act as an OpenID server. Cheers, Markus -- [1] http://opensso.dev.java.net

[xwiki-devs] [GSOC] Today is GSOC project starting day
by Vincent Massol 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

Hi GSOCers, The bonding period is over and today starts your GSOC project period. Note that this doesn't mean you should drop whatever JIRA issue you had assigned to yourself. Please continue to work on it and *finish* it. It's important. However it means that from today onwards you can start working on your project. The most important thing to do is send an email on the xwiki dev list explaining: * what architecture you're envisioning to use for your project. If you have doubts/questions please mention them. * A general planning breaking down the high level tasks you have to do and giving deadlines for each. That'll help you reach your objectives and in that manner we (the mentors and the community in general) can also help you by reviewing milestone objectives and helping you achieve them * what are your next steps and when you're planning to have them done * Any questions you have Please use the mailing list over IRC and especially over direct skype/ chat. Again it's really important that you work with the community. The success of your SOC depends on that as much as finishing your project. Thanks, good luck and have fun! -Vincent on behalf of the XWiki mentors

Re: [xwiki-devs] [GSOC] Can't commit to sandbox

Hi Malaka, I've looked at your code and you did a good job! It works pretty well though there are some things that must be improved (like the ones you were mentioning) Before I commit the code, could you please, do a bit of reformatting? Here at http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-platform/xwiki-tools/trunk/xwiki-v… you can find the .xml for the Eclipse formatter. This style is the style used by XWiki. I saw that that in your code there are some classes that probably are useless (is the TagRule used?) Could you please remove all the unused code inorder to avoid confusion? I also noticed that you incorporated verbatim some code from the tutorial (the tutorial's author name is in your code) Be careful when incorporating third party code. You must always check for licenses and compatibility and authorization!!! Ideally you should write all the code by yourself, even if when you use a framework you end up with writing more or less the same code. Could you check that the tutorial's code can be reused without restrictions? Please, keep the conversations on the XWiki devs list so that everybody can follow it. Send me a zip with the modifications and I'll commit it to the sandbox. After that, it's important to address Vincent's parser integration and spend some time on trying to figure out if and how it can be integrated in your work. I guess that Vincent's parser should be used as the partitioner, with it's output definining document's partition. But this has to be well investigated because it might be not so simple. Let me know. Cheers, Fabio

[xwiki-devs] [GSOC]Sample plugine
by malaka ekanayake 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

Hi fabio During the weekend I have written a sample plugine for xwiki highlighting some of xwiki syntax .Hear are the list of syntaxes which supports it. Titles ,Bulleted Lists,Text Styles,Info Macro<http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/InfoMacro> There are some improvements needed to be done . I am having some trouble with identifying composite syntax like bold & Italic. I think I will need your help on that. At the same time is there any reference to learn the jface API because at the moment only I have is the article you gave to me. I think I need to understand it more deeply .So any reference related to JFace Text API will be nice since :D. I will commit my work to the sandbox today. I didn't have time to look in to the Vincent's parser yet. I 'll start it by today.Meantime is there any news from Venkatesh cheers --Malaka Ekanayake CSE UOM

[xwiki-devs] Mail Auth - done; 3 questions
by Lilianne E. Blaze 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Hello, I just completed the modifications I mentioned in "Mail Problems" earlier. Seems to work just fine. XWiki.sendMessage redirecting to MailSenderPlugin, mail authorization ( = works with any smtp server, local or not), and means to provide additional Java Mail properties in Admin Prefs. I just need to test it a bit more and make patches and demo package. Should be ready in about 12-18 hours tops. Three things though: 1) I still have no idea what about the subject - it just defaults to "XWiki Message" in this version. 2) It needed mailsender plugin moved from plugins module to core module to avoid circulars and other nasties. 3) It still needs some sensible defaults and/or documenation for validation / confirmation content. Greetings, Lilianne E. Blaze

[xwiki-devs] retrieving XWIKI-generated page via javascript without headers
by rssh 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Good day, community Yet one question: I want to retrieve xwiki page without header and footes via javascript, to save in dom-node. Now I search a principal way how to do this. I see two possible ways: A -- write special 'zero' skin // unfortunelly, I see that documentation on skins is outdated: in installation of svn version I see that velocity templates are situated outside skin. B -- try to use xwiki XML/RPC interface. (or may be add JSON-ORB as servlet) So, questions: - what approach (from this two) is prefferrable ? - where is documentation on xwiki XML/RPC interface ? Or some example of usage ? Are anybody tried to use XML/RPC interface from javascript. ? - may be still possible to reload (returning to first approach) view.vm template in skin. If yes - how ? P.S. (More detailed explanation what I want on code level: i. e. I want to write in xwiki page something like: <script> function update() { new Ajax.Reaqest('/xwiki.home/bin/view/My.Page', 'post' parameters { A: $('form.A').value, B: $('form.B').value, skin: 'zero' } onSuccess: function(transport) { $('result').innerHTML=transport.response; } ); } </script> <form> <input name='A' id='form.A' > <input name='B' id='form.B' > <button name='DO' onClick="update();" > </form> <div id="result">   </div> -- Ruslan Shevchenko GradSoft. http://www.gradsoft.ua
