[xwiki-users] Database authentication For XWiki
by Dilipkumar Jadhav 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Hello friends, Has database authentication been tried for XWiki by anyone before... We've a big user base over the intranet & we would like to use the existing authentication mechanism (database storage) to be used by XWiki as well. Would implementing the <http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-core/src/main/ java/com/xpn/xwiki/user/api/XWikiAuthService.java> XWikiAuthService interface be helpful in achieving a db based authentication. Some pointers in this direction would be appreciated.

[xwiki-users] Custom Skin doesn't apply to unregistered users
by Flavius Olaru 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Hi all, I have an XE 2.1.1 instance installed, developed a custom skin, applied it in XWikiPreferences, it works on registered users but doesn't for unregistered users. The skin is in a custom space, I tried to set view rights on that skin document to XWikiAllGroup but still doesn't work. Can anyone help me enable the custom skin for unregistered users too? Thanks -- Flavius Olaru

Hello everybody. I am modifyin the todo app, for making dinamic lists in my wiki. But what I would link, is that the links are to the edit page, not the view page. How can I do it. Now I have: <td>[$todoObj.Resumen>$todo]</td> And i would like to have something that links to the todo edit link.

Re: [xwiki-users] REST services access to spaces & tags
by Dilipkumar Jadhav 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Hello friends, I had enquired on the mailing list about the access to Spaces & Tags on a strictly private wiki. I believe I might have a resolution: Possible Resolution: 1. I checked out the XWiki Platform - Core -REST module for XWiki 2.1.1. 2. As per the original issue, the Pages were not accessible but Spaces were accessible in a private wiki even without authentication. Hence, I found the two class files & compared them, viz. a. SpacesResource.java in package org.xwiki.rest.resources.spaces b. PagesResource.java in package org.xwiki.rest.resources.pages 3. In SpacesResource.java replaced the following code: if (Utils.getXWikiApi(componentManager).exists(homeId)) { home = Utils.getXWikiApi(componentManager).getDocument(homeId); } spaces.getSpaces().add( DomainObjectFactory.createSpace(objectFactory, uriInfo.getBaseUri(), wikiName, spaceName, home)); With the following code: if (Utils.getXWikiApi(componentManager).exists(homeId)) { home = Utils.getXWikiApi(componentManager).getDocument(homeId); if (home != null) { spaces.getSpaces().add( DomainObjectFactory.createSpace(objectFactory, uriInfo.getBaseUri(), wikiName, spaceName, home)); 4. Compiled the module jar & deployed it on the XWiki instance. 5. Now, the spaces show up only when the user has been authenticated through the browser. When there is no authentication, all that is displayed is an empty </spaces> tag. So things do look partly the way I wanted them to work. I have following two questions at this point of time: 1. Is this the right way to do it. Did I end up breaking something else that was working? 2. If this is the correct resolution, how could I add a Status.UNAUTHORIZED when there is no authentication? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time & consideration folks. 2. REST services access to spaces & tags (Dilipkumar Jadhav) Message: 2 Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:45:27 +0530 From: "Dilipkumar Jadhav" <jadhav.dilipkumar(a)gmail.com> Subject: [xwiki-users] REST services access to spaces & tags To: <users(a)xwiki.org> Message-ID: <4b5d8b69.0404c00a.65db.ffffafa7(a)mx.google.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" 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)

I asked how to set up the RSS feed the other day and was quickly pointed to Anca Luca's answer ( http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/users/2010-January/018932.html) which I was able to implement. The RSS feed did work ... on that day, but not any more ... ? Can anyone help me? Thanks, Xavier
