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

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.

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.

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?
