Hi everyone,
I'm tryin' to deploy a private xwiki, so that non-logged people can't
view/edit any page, but the login/register pages.
Moreover, I set a specific registering process : people need a
password to register on the
http://xwiki.pps.jussieu.fr/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/RegisterNewUser
page)
I did the following to set up the wiki (maybe it would be good that I
write some page with more details somewhere on
xwiki.org ? :)
i) I added /xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/RegisterNewUser,
/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/RegisterJS, /xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/Key to set up
this protected register process
ii) In the xwiki global rights : appropriate levels to "allow" for
XWikiAdminGroup and XWikiAllGroup, every level to "deny" for users
"XWikiGuest' Specific Page Access Rights : "view" level to
"allow"
for XWikiGuest on the 3 previous pages named in step i) and to the
/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiUsers class
iii) I edited on the webapp filesystem
$WEBAPPS_HOME//xwiki/skins/xwiki10b1/global.vm file, assuming that my
default skin is xwiki10b1 and replaced the line #set($regurl =
$xwiki.getURL("XWiki.Register", "register")) with #set($regurl =
$xwiki.getURL("XWiki.RegisterNewUser", "view"))
When all of this is set up, the only problem is that accessing the
new register or login page (as an XWikiGuest so), these two pages
don't show the associated stylesheet.
Some previous posts talked about giving the same specific Page Access
Rights to xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/DefaultSkin, and turning Off the
"Always authenticate on viewing" and "Always authenticate on
editing"
directives. Even doing this, my register and login page don't show
the stylesheet.
Did I forget anything ?
Actually two things are missing:
1) you need to let the guests access the "Panels" space
2) XWiki currently handles the access to the skin folder as if it were
documents (I'm not sure whether this is what we want really but we'll
discuss that in the xwiki-dev list) -> you will have to create a
document "skins.xwiki10b1" in your wiki, and to specify XWikiGuest has
view access to that document. I just tested this and it worked fine!
Cheers
