Dear all,
I discovered an unexpected behaviour in my installation of "XWIKI
ENTERPRISE 4.2.2".
I have in space Main a set of "public" pages meaning that can be viewed by
un-registerd users and a set of "private" pages that needs to be logged-in
to view them. I achieved such a configuration by (starting from the initial
configuration) denying View permission for un-registered users at wiki
level (hence by default the wiki is private) and granting explicitly, for
each page I want to be public, the View permission for un-registered users.
Now, I want to export the space Main in html format. Following the guide at
[1], I'm using this URL:
http://<SERVER>/xwiki/bin/export/Main/<PAGE>?format=html&pages=Main.%25
If PAGE=MyPrivatePage (a private page) and I'm not logged-in, the browser
redirects me to the login page. Correct.
If PAGE=MyPublicPage (a public page) and I'm not logged-in the export
works. Then opening the zip archive returned, I found that it contains also
private pages!
In the matter of facts, as un-registered user I did an export of the entire
space starting from a page viewable by unregistered users and I obtained in
the zip ALL pages including pages that I cannot normally view from the
browser!
For what I understood, xwiki checks access rights for PAGE, but if allowed,
then the export includes all pages regardless whether the user that is
requesting the export can view those pages or not.
Maybe I just set permissions in the wrong way. Can someone give me a hint
on this?
Thank you very much,
Gabriele
