Thomas, Thank you for your quick response. I will check my hibernate modifications to see if I may have made a typo. I copied the recommended ojdbc.jar to my web-inf\lib folder and modified hibernate.cfg.xml according to the instructions. I must have missed something. I'll post back if I continue to have issues with the installation process.

Hello, I am new to Xwiki and am trying to install the enterprise-web-1.4 version on OC4J using my own database. I believe I have made all of the modifications to the xml files from the instructions but don't know where to find the sql script (is there one?) to build the tables. I saw on the xwiki website a set of statements to build indexes but nothing to run to create the tables, etc. Does the hibernate that comes with this xwiki version try to create the tables automagically? Thanks in advance, Mark

Good day. Quick question about application manager: what mean field 'translation documents' in application form ? Unfortunelly, I can't found nothing in documentation: on xwiki.org (http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/ApplicationManagerApplica…) screenshots without any comments. -- Ruslan Shevchenko GradSoft. http://www.gradsoft.ua

Hi Jerome, Thanks for quick reply and valuable input . Infect from last 20 days , I am doing R&D on wiki, which are having free source code. During these only, I came to know about xWiki workspace product. Definitely you have relevant question, what I want? I am developing one product. That product also having requirement of workspace, where user can work. My Requirement : Individual user is already logged in that my product Profile.jsp page and now end user clicks the "wiki widget" at this page. User should directly go to user page , where he can work with workspace. It should be done without authenticating the user. Since we have already done the authentication at boot level. We are using Ubentu. Only due to this, I required source code and I want to understand that how it is written. How session is maintained in "xWiki Workspace"? So I have lot of question in my mind. I hope , you all will guide me for doing this configuration with my product. Please let me know if you have question about my requirement. Since till date I am only studing the documents about xWiki. Now started planning for configuring it with my product. Defnitely I hope your guidence.

[xwiki-devs] [New Rendering] Automatic new lines?
by Vincent Massol 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Hi, In the new rendering right now when a user type a new line the XHTML renders a new line. For example: " Welcome to your [[second generation wiki>http://www.xwiki.org/]] It is an online, shared workspace that will allow you to collaborate effectively with others. You can use it for many purposes: " This renders on 2 lines. Previously it was rendering on one line, i.e. new lines were ignored. Personally I think I prefer to render on 2 lines and not have users type \\ for forcing a new line. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Using Apache Basic Authentication API/credentials and mod_auth_mda for Xwiki single-sign-on?? (was Re: urgent regarding Xwiki building)
by Niels Mayer 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

It would be nice if there was a way of using Apache Basic Authentication API, alongside w/ mod_ssl <http://www.modssl.org/>, as a concrete way of implementing "single sign on" across multiple applications fronted by Apache HTTPD. This would allow Xwiki to coexist better alongside other existing web-apps or existing websites; in the future, such flexibility would ease transition into more extensive use of Xwiki infrastructure, while coexisting with existing implementations based on the predominant webserver. This architecture further allows a simple partitioning of "static" and "dynamic/java" content across servers and services, as well as the ability to share logins across multiple web-apps (not all necessarily java) integrated under one portal or website. The static/dynamic partitioning is especially worthwhile for large content, say digital media, or software distributions, where lots of long-running downloads translates to lots of java memory churn and resulting bad performance... An example of interoperability between apache-basic auth and Java: Crowd<http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/Crowd+Documentation>has an apache basic authentication module: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWDEXT/Apache+Basic+Authenticatio… allows the same logins used for "JIRA, Confluence and Bamboo" to also work as a basic gating mechanism for the web-server fronting java. This particular usage of the apache basic authentication API permits non-Java webapps, or static files, to be "gated" by the same credentials used for jira/confluence/bamboo. The reason why I mention mod_ssl is because if you want to do real security, or not be transmitting credentials in-the clear, you'll need it. A proper security solution that is now becoming quite practical (and free) is the use of X509 client certificates, for example, see https://www.myopenid.com. Alongside mod_ssl's FakeBasicAuth ( http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_reference.html#SSLOptions ) this uses the API of apache basic authentication, using credentials coming directly from the certificate (usually the full-email address, which is part of the client certificate data that is "signed"). When this option is enabled, the Subject Distinguished Name (DN) of the Client X509 Certificate is translated into a HTTP Basic Authorization username. This means that the standard Apache authentication methods can be used for access control. The user name is just the Subject of the Client's X509 Certificate (can be determined by running OpenSSL's openssl x509command: openssl x509 -noout -subject -in *certificate*.crt). Note that no password is obtained from the user. Every entry in the user file needs this password: `` xxj31ZMTZzkVA'', which is the DES-encrypted version of the word `password''. Those who live under MD5-based encryption (for instance under FreeBSD or BSD/OS, etc.) should use the following MD5 hash of the same word: `` $1$OXLyS...$Owx8s2/m9/gfkcRVXzgoE/''. If there was an "Apache basic auth" gateway into Xwiki, then Xwiki could also easily use such a solution to obtain the login credentials from the certificate, or simply use existing Apache-Basic-Auth credentials for consistency and single-sign-on in a "portal." The reason why this is important is that some fortune-500 companies won't allow external access to their data (extranet portal scenario) w/o the security guarantees available in x509 client-certificates. In particular, corporate security likes the ability to be able to instantly revoke or invalidate certificates that pose a security threat, and "two-factor" access: something you have -- the x509 cert, and something you know -- your password. I elaborate along the lines of this solution here: http://n2.nabble.com/Using-Apache-BasicAuth-or-mod_ssl%27s-%22FakeBasicAuth… http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/SingleSignOnAuthenti… PS: another apache/java trick that is very useful -- using mod_auth_mda<http://www.frogdot.org/mod_auth_mda/>for passing time-limited temporary "fine-grained" access control credentials (in the form of a specially signed cryptographic cookie) from Java to apache. In other words, one might login to an Xwiki-based system; within an Xwiki "app" one would construct a specially formatted cryptographic cookie<http://www.frogdot.org/mod_auth_mda/cookie.html>. That cookie would permit temporary access to a particular file/directory/application hosted on the apache webserver (e.g. a static file that you only want accessbile to logged-in people). Without the cookie, or if the cookie expires, a user cannot access directories files or applications specificallly protected by mod_auth_mda. The following flowchart illustrates the process: -- <http://www.frogdot.org/logintools/pab/scheme1.gif> -- Niels http://nielsmayer.com

Re: [xwiki-devs] Help Regarding Xwiki

Dear Wincent, Thank for your respose. Can u little clarify me ,why i dont need to build up xwiki from source?.. I go with your advice.But can u little help me out in explaming where should i get the database java files which require for user authentication at the time of login.(means verifying user from the database). I am asking this because i have technical manpower with me who has knowledge of Maven n all. but the difficulty is i am not getting the way ,the user and admin authentication checking is goin on. I read at your dev.xwiki.org.. about custom authentication that you need to make changes only in conf file. But our specific requirement to bypass this authentication ,as we already have our database for user authentication. rest all your wiki will work as it is. Hope you understand my requirement.Because we are team,so my taskk is to rectify the files and area need to change in Your xwiki in order to make your wiki up to our requirement.
