[xwiki-devs] SSO support - status update
by Markus Lanthaler 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hi guys, I'm currently evaluating possible frameworks to use for my Single Sign On project (SSO). ESOE [1] and OpenSSO [2] both very promising, but both have their pros and cons. I didn't have a detailed look at JOSSO [3] yet. ESOE is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, supports Shibboleth and OpenID (don't know yet which versions) and has authentication support for LDAP, Active Directory, and many more (comming). It also has support for multi-factor authentication. The downside of ESOE is that there isn't yet any final version available. It also can't act as a OpenID identity provider (OP) and needs an Apache module or IIS filter to act as an SAML provider. OpenSSO on the other hand 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. OpenID is licensed under Sun's Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL). So the next thing I'll do is to dig into JOSSO [3]. Do you know any other framework which I should consider?

[xwiki-devs] [GSOC] [WebDAV] Ground work done.
by Asiri Rathnayake 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hi All, I think i made a mistake in my last update with the words "test framework". Actually what i meant is the basic environment setup and ground work. specifically, i wanted following things, * A maven project using ludovic's existing code (few modifications were done + a patch to the xwiki-core). * A way to easily build and deploy xwiki-webdav servlet. Now it's simply `mvn jetty:run` (uses hsqldb and a preconfigured database). * A platform independent WebDAV client so that anyone can test xwiki-webdav. Found DAVExplorer. * An eclipse project setup (M2Eclipse) that would allow anyone (that's me) to jump in and develop. I have committed my work (which has everything mentioned above) into http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/sandbox/xwiki-webdav/ . I have put a README along with it so that anyone can get started quickly. Btw, ludovic's original code is still available at http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/sandbox/webdav/ , should it be left as it is ? Now i will start to enhance xwiki-webdav and to add advanced DAV functionalities along the way. Please feel free to make comments / suggestions, they are always welcome. Thanks. - Asiri

Hello, I have managed to authenticate users with the Active directory through LDAP. However, all the users i login were shown the error message "You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action." when i am at http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome. I pressume the users records are not in the Xwiki database. Where and how do i create these records when the user first logon onto xwiki?

[xwiki-devs] Mail problems
by Lilianne E. Blaze 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Hello, I'm using version 1.5 m1. While trying to register an user I'm getting error 553 - my smtp requires authenticating even from 127.0.0.1. Don't ask :/ I have a pretty good idea how to modify MailSenderPlugin to authenticate, but here's a surprise - it's not used. At least not when sending welcome mails. com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 10006 in 10: Could not send mail to s erver 127.0.0.1 port 25 error code 553 (553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts / Ta domena nie znajduje sie na liscie obslugiwanych przez serwer, jest zablokowana lub nieprawidlowo skonfigurowano uwierzytelnianie SMTP (#5.5.3 - vuser) ) at com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.sendMessage(XWiki.java:3258) at com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.sendMessage(XWiki.java:3294) at com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.sendValidationEmail(XWiki.java:3199) at com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.sendValidationEmail(XWiki.java:3162) at com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.createUser(XWiki.java:3114) at com.xpn.xwiki.web.RegisterAction.action(RegisterAction.java:41) at com.xpn.xwiki.web.XWikiAction.execute(XWikiAction.java:216) at com.xpn.xwiki.web.XWikiAction.execute(XWikiAction.java:116) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(Reques tProcessor.java:431) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.ja va:236) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:119 6) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:432) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:709) It seems XWiki.sendMessage is deprecated, true, but still in use. Are there any plans to actually connect MailSenderPlugin any time soon? Adding authing in MailSenderPlugin would be trivial. Hacking it into current version of XWiki.sendMessage, well, that'd be less trivial. Any suggestions on what to do? I need it more or less working in about two weeks. Greetings, Lilianne E. Blaze

[xwiki-devs] How to manage existing spaces on workspaces product
by Sachin Mittal 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Hi, We are building custom application over xwiki portal. A custom application is nothing but a space having some pages, plugins and custom skin. Space can be packaged as an application using application manager app. So far all is working fine. When we started the work the enterprise product was the best choice for us. So we imported this xar on top of platform and later extended the toucan skin to work against the new space we created. With time xwiki team created another product called workspaces which has made it much easier and simpler to organize workspaces and add applications to it. So we imported this xar on top of enterprise product and also added the needed plugins and skins for workspaces product. Everything worked fine. Now we want to have every user add existing spaces to his list of spaces. So that clicking on that space can take him to access that application. (or since we can package space as an application, have this new application along with existing ones available for import in his workspace). 1. So first question is how can make users add existing spaces or new application to his list? 2. If we want to choose some existing space as organization space or personal space, is that possible, if yes how? 3. What would be better for integrating spaces with user workspaces. Add them as space itself or package it as an application and make it available to import? 4. Also I notice that users that are not Admin when the login the top links of My Dashboard, My Profile and My Spaces are not working correctly. Document does not exist message is shown accessing them. Any idea why would it be so. So far workspace product seems a good approach handling spaces and users under it. However if we can manage existing spaces inside workspace it would really be a cool alternate to the enterprise product. Thanks in advance for any insight to the above queries.

by marlon hendred 10 Jun '08

Hi, I developed a plugin using the source i checked out of the trunk. I have build the war several times (with maven) to test the plugin and all has worked fine. Eventually after i was satisfied with my plugin. I jared up the classfiles using: $] jar cf my-plugin-1.0.jar com/xpn/plugin/myplugin/MyPlugin/*.class then i downloaded xwiki 1.4 from the xwiki site, and dropped my jar into the xwiki/WEB-INF/lib dir. Then i added: com.xpn.plugin.myplugin.MyPlugin to the list of active plugins in xwiki.cfg But when i tail catalina.out i see it complaining about not being able to find my plugin. Am i doing something wrong? Can someone please help me asap as we would like to go to production with this plugin. Thanks in advance. -Marlon
