Hello, We're currently working on integrating xwiki in an educational plattform. That means, we need to provide an xwiki-page for each course. We have retty much all methods laid out and most of it working, the only thing we are still not sure about handling is the automatic login, before a user gets to see a specific xwiki-page. Adding users, groups and setting the permissions (in the xwiki) is all dealt with already - the only thing that is missing is the automatic login. Is this possible with the existing methods or do we have to write our own authentication-service? If so, is there sample code or anything you could point us to how to proceed? An option we were contemplating was, posting the login data to the actual xwiki login form in the background (similar to what the curl-library provides in php), but this might just be unnecessary, if there is a certain existing method we can utilize for that. Thanks a lot for your help in advance! Florian -- NEU: GMX DSL Sofort-Start-Set - blitzschnell ins Internet! Echte DSL-Flatrate ab 0,- Euro* http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl

Hi, You'll find some info here http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication+and+Rights+Ma… The authentication service probably needs to be written to handle the specificities of your system. If you already have information in your request or somewhere you might just need to write one or two lines in your authentication service. Ludovic divil(a)gmx.at a écrit :

hi, thank you for the answer, but how *could* those two lines look like if we get the username from the request and combine it with a given password? the authenticate method which takes username, password and context as parameter doesn't seem to do what i expect. florian

hi, The username is being provided by the education - portal we are integrating xwiki into (request.getParam(..). The password is a fixed string. The users are set up with these credentials automatically, when they are being added to an xwiki group. Thats all working - we just haven't been able to figure out ow to log users in then, with these same username/password combinations. florian

Hi, I would still need more information about how you get the username and in which context. request.getParameter() is in the context of the request. Does this mean that in the environment you are in, everything request contains a parameter with the username ? If so then you need to modify checkAuth() and fill in the context with the username from your request. You don't even need to implement authenticate since it will be never called if you reimplement checkAuth Ludovic divil(a)gmx.at a écrit :
