Hello friends,
I am facing some unexpected behavior with RESTful services in private wiki
instance:
Issue: Spaces, Tags entities can be accessed publicly through REST URL,
eventhough XWiki is run in private wiki mode.
Description: One of the XWiki 2.1.1 instance is setup in a private wiki
mode. Guests are not allowed to register or view any page on this instance.
I am also making use of authenticated services (RESTful services & XMLRPC
services) for connecting 3rd party applications to this xwiki instance.
However, when I access REST URLs for spaces, tags, etc there is no
authentication check from XWiki. This data is publicly available. When I
access a page URL, I am blocked off for authentication.
Couldn't find a JIRA for this one. Could we consider this as an
non-consistent behavior in terms of xwiki REST authentication where one
resource is blocked while others are not.
Has anyone else faced this before or has a work-around to this issue.
Thank you for your time & consideration friends.
Environment:
XWiki : 2.1.1 stable
Tomcat: 6.0.20
MySql: 5.0.45 community
JDK: 1.5 (Apparently, REST services do not work for me through JDK 1.6. This
could be just me facing this issue though J)
