That's what I was thinking as well, though I don't get logged out, but I can't see my users profile. I removed the config line and logged in as the administrator with the default login. The user I created seemed to have the correct permissions. Also when not using my custom authenticator, I was able to login as this new user and everything was fine. But the minute I change the config back to my authenticator I get the "Error You are not allowed to view..." error. It does sound like a permissions thing, but I virtually have a fresh install of XWiki, so I haven't changed any of the permissions or groups or anything. So I would have thought the XWiki.createEmptyUser method would set my user up as it needed to be. Or I would have expected something in the documentation to tell me to do something myself. Any other ideas after knowing the above?

Either you see your name at the top right and then your authentication service is working, except that your user actually has not rights. Maybe you forgot to make the calls to create the user page (when it does not exist) and add the user to XWiki.XWikiAllGroup If you don't see your name then your auth service is not working. But I would guest is the first problem otherwise you'd probably get the login screen again Once your OracleSSO works we'd love you to share it on the SVN sandbox http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/sandbox/authenticators/ Ludovic Le 24/11/10 22:42, Scardino, Leonard R Jr ERDC-ITL-MS Contractor a écrit : -- Ludovic Dubost Blog: http://blog.ludovic.org/ XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com Skype: ldubost GTalk: ldubost
