I'm wanting to use container (tomcat)
authentication with XWiki so that I
can use a single sign on solution, using the instructions found here:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication#HContain…
I managed to get something basic set up and the authentication is working
(the container challenges me for username/password) but when the XWiki page
displays it is completely unstyled (though I see my username in the content
so the authentication is being picked up) and it displays an "Error. You are
not allowed to view this document or perform this action" error message in
the page.
So its looking like XWiki is not picking up (or generating) some resources
it needs for that authenticated user (presumably because it did not go
through the user registration process).
Or is it expected some specific role to be assigned to the user?
What's the trick to get this working correctly?
Sounds like your user is not added in the right group(s) (which mean
it does not have any right).
And on a related topic, is there a way to get XWiki to
understand additional
user credentials such as their real name e.g. from the authentication token
or whatever?
You can write your own custom authenticator (you could for example
extend the one you are using right now and add some user properties
sync) or find one that fit your need in
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome#|t=extensions&p…
or
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/sandbox/tree/master/authenticators.
Thanks
