Hi!
Under certain circunstances I'm not able to identify, even though a given I've no
access to a given XWiki page, it is possible to access/download their attached files
provided you know their URLs.
Please, could you figure out why this could happen? Thanks!

Hi, Vincent,
No, I've not been able to reproduce it yet. The issue arose sometime ago when an user
claims that a paper of him, ready to be published by a first line magazine, appears
indexed by Google even though it was theoretically protected within a XWiki installation.
Please, check this:
http://atrium_km.idisantiago.es/bin/Project/Transcan2012 - you must be required to
identify
http://atrium_km.idisantiago.es/bin/download/Project/Transcan2012/S28BW.num… - at
least from my browsers here, this image is freely accessible... some cache related issue?
http://atrium_km.idisantiago.es/bin/download/Project/Transcan2012/idisMotto… - you are
required to identiy; this file is attached to the same page!
>>> I'm prompted for a login for both
images. Try to clear your browser
>>> cache and see if you can still see the image.
Even clearing the cache the image keep being accessible... it seems them most as a browser
related issue instead of an XWiki issue!! If you are prompted for a password in both
cases, it is working as expected.
>>>
>>> Are you sure that Google got the paper from that page? Are you sure it
>>> didn't get it at a time when the document was freely accessible?
Google points to the location of the file on our server. But I can't be absolutely
sure about the fact of had restricted access to the attached file at time 0.
This remembers me an old proposal of having a switch that allow than in a given
installation access to a new page/space is restricted to the creator until he/she
explicitely grant access to another user or group of users. This could be useful when
working in an environment where security is critical and an error like the one it seems I
committed exposes contents not intented to free access by default. Please, what do you
think?
Thanks!!
Vincent, do you remember your account at EPEC Network?
Atrium_KM is now the controller of the whole farm. I've chaged eBioTIC. look and feel
to fit the image requirements of this new initiative. I do hope I'll be able to get it
bak ASAP! I've created a new account for you there and I'm sending you a new
password.
Thanks!
