smtp server setup

by jgehbauer＠gmail.com

Hello! I installed a new instance of xwiki on my local machine. I tried to set up the email notification but it didn't really work. In the XWiki Preferences I set the outgoing smtp server to several smtp servers such as smtp.google.com, smtp.comcast.net, etc. Howver, there seem to be some authentication issues and I get the following error message: *** Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Demo.SendMailTestPage Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'sendMessage' in class com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki threw exception class com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException : Error number 10006 in 10: Could not send mail to server smtp.comcast.net port 25 error code 530 (530 Authentication required ) OR Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Demo.SendMailTestPage Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'sendMessage' in class com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki threw exception class com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException : Error number 10006 in 10: Could not send mail to server smtp.gmail.com port 25 error code 530 (530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first h14sm757315wxd ) *** I also tried to use my own smtp server (hmailserver) but then I had some relay problems and the following error message: *** Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Demo.SendMailTestPage Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'sendMessage' in class com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki threw exception class com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException : Error number 10006 in 10: Could not send mail to server mail.hmailserver.com port 25 error code 550 (550-207-105-15-139.ded.pacbell.net (XWiki version 0.9.840) 207.105.15.139? is 550-currently not permitted to relay through this server. Perhaps you have not 550-logged into the pop/imap server in the last 30 minutes or do not have SMTP 550 Authentication turned on in your email client. ) *** I have right now no idea how to resolve these issues. I would appreciate any help in setting up the smtp server for the email notification. Cheers, Jens

xwiki.com stats deactivated

by Ludovic Dubost

Hi, We got a new load of spam related hammering on xwiki.com. It is more and more horrible and creates more and more unuseful load on xwiki.com. Spam robots have included creation of XWiki accounts and use of these accounts to publish spam data in the wiki pages. I've had to deactivate statistics since each spam-related request that cannot be catched by mod_security creates load on the database for these statistics. The only way to get statistics back will be to use Javascripts which triggers a statistics storage request in the database (which would be ignored by spam robots and search engines), or to wait until we can read Google Analytics or another external statistics engine and redisplay it on xwiki.com. In the future we will propose a tutorial to activate Google Analytics on your wikis. If you know how to do it you should include this on your wiki pages to get statistics for your wiki. I'm getting more and more worried about these spam robots and would welcome any help and ideas on how to handle this to make xwiki.com a viable platform for hosted public wikis.

Problems with registering new user

by Karen Blakeman

I know this has already been covered in earlier discussion but I can't seem to get round the "An error occured during the registration process (-1)." for new users. I have read through the postings and the documentation but have had no joy. Is it because we are on the wiki farm?

Why does the postgresql initial data not match the install instructions

by David Goodenough

If you install xwiki with the supplied postgresql data the user list that is installed is different from that assumed by the install instructions. It would be really useful if this could be fixed. In particular the list of users is:- XWiki.FabriceMorisseau XWiki.LudovicDubost XWiki.MyTestUser XWiki.MyTestUser3 XWiki.MyTestUser4 XWiki.MyTestUser5 XWiki.MyTestUser6 XWiki.TestUser The install instructions assume that there is a user called Admin with a password of admin, but this logon does not work. Would it be possible to post a new version of the postgresql data on the website so that users of this DB can follow the supplied instructions? David

Deleted document history

by THOMAS, BRIAN M (SBCSI)

Am I correct to believe that when an XWiki document is deleted, its history and all memory of its existence goes with it? That would represent a hole in the auditability/recoverability features; while it can be limited to appropriate people via the rights system, it still leaves mysteries requiring access to server logs, at minimum, to resolve. brain[sic]

Fwd: Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki Athentication Integration

by divil＠gmx.at

hello! i think i located the problem of my software. but this leads me into - i think - fundamental questions on handling xwiki from outside. so far i can initialise a wiki with this.context = new XWikiContext(); this.context.setDatabase(dbase); this.xwiki = new XWiki(config, this.context); from inside the educational platform and am able to create users, groups, documents etc. even logging in of users works - at last no error occurs. but i'm not able to open a generated document - which would be the goal. is the way i'm trying to control xwiki from outside right or is there a better way to do that? if its right any help on opening documents would be great! tia, florian -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Wed, 25 Oct 2006 21:58:50 +0200 Von: divil(a)gmx.at An: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Betreff: Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki Athentication Integration hello! thanks, the information was very useful and helped me a lot! the authentification via the authenticate method is working - i get back a principal with the name and an exception when i test it with a wrong password. the problem is that the user still isn't logged in. it seems to me that no cookie is created where username and password is stored - thats why when i klick on the link to open the xwikidocument i'm logged in as xwikiguest. florian -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Wed, 25 Oct 2006 10:36:20 +0200 Von: David Delbecq <delbd(a)oma.be> An: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Betreff: Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki Athentication Integration > Hello, > > Just as information, > > here we needed to authenticate users on the basis of a system account. > There were specific way to retrieve account informations and specific > way to check password (it's encrypted). > > All we did is cut and paste the existing XWikiAuthService > implementation, and rewrite the > public Principal authenticate(String username, String pwd, XWikiContext > context) > It was as easy as pickup encrypted passwrod from system, crypt the > provided user password, compare and return a new SimplePrincipal with > the username. > > divil(a)gmx.at a écrit : > > hi, > > > > I'm still working on the user login from the educational plattform. > > to be precise I'm stuck with reimplementing checkAuth(). > > when I fill in the username into the context with setUser() and then > call checkAuth() with the modified context the wiki-page is not accessible. > but when I set the username directly in the checkAuth() - method e.g. return > new XWikiUser("test") - the wiki-page is accessible. > > > > Could you possibly provide me with a sample implementation of this > method? > > > > Florian > > > > > > Ludovic Dubost wrote: > > > >> Hi, > >> > >> I would still need more information about how you get the username and > >> in which context. > >> request.getParameter() is in the context of the request.
