[xwiki-users] XWiki 4.3 will not maintain logged in status of users
by Lineberry, Casey 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

I apologize if this issue is somewhere out in this user list, the web or on xwiki.org docs, but I am unable to find anything out there on it. We're using XWIki 4.3-rc-1 running under Tomcat 7.0.32 on Red Hat 5.7 64-bit. Everything was working fine. Then, all of a sudden, all users are prompted to login after every click. It's now impossible to import or export any content. Editing is impossible. In the catalina.out from tomcat, we see the following over and over again: 2013-01-28 14:11:04,531 [https://epswiki.sdc.vzwcorp.com/xwiki/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin?srid=BOeR3…] DEBUG o.x.c.ExecutionContext - Getting undefined property localization.bundles from execution context. 2013-01-28 14:11:04,534 [https://epswiki.sdc.vzwcorp.com/xwiki/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin?srid=BOeR3…] DEBUG .s.DefaultScriptServiceManager - Failed to lookup script service for role hint [workspace] org.xwiki.component.manager.ComponentLookupException: Can't find descriptor for the component [role = [interface org.xwiki.script.service.ScriptService] hint = [workspace]] at org.xwiki.component.embed.EmbeddableComponentManager.getComponentInstance(EmbeddableComponentManager.java:355) ~[xwiki-commons-legacy-component-default-4.3-rc-1.jar:na] I am unable to find anything that can point me to where our configuration has gotten hosed. We are configured to use LDAP authentication against an MS Active Directory domain. As stated earlier - that has been working fine - and this just started happening. Any direction in how we can get this corrected would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Casey

[xwiki-users] Grant only View Rights to a specific user
by Hamster 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Hi all, We are using LDAP and I want to grant a specific user ONLY view-rights (on the entire wiki) As far as I can see, I can't just grant him "view-only" rights to the wiki, because the space-rights will grant the user edit rights (the user is also in the XWikiAllUsers group). Do I need to apply "view-only" rights for that specific user on every space in the wiki? If that's the case, how do I handle the fact when an "admin"-user creates a new space? (where the specific user should have "view-only" rights by default?) That's kind of dangerous, don't you think? Or am I missing something? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Grant-only-View-Rights-to-a-specific-user… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Link - Backlinks not working when link in macro or object
by Claude Ledermann 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Hi We just introduced XWIKI in our company and I have noticed that there are quite a few problems with links. Among other we have solutions, customers, faq, wiki users... It would be nice have a complete xref of which page references which other page, so we can see (among other): - which customer uses which solutions. - which wiki user was responsible for which project... My idea was to use links for this purpose, but I notices the following problems: - If the link is contained in a macros like {{warn}}[[target]]{{/warn}}, the backreference is not reported on the target page . - If the link is contained in an object like {{include document="FAQCode.FAQSheet"/}}, the backreference is not reported on the target page. - If I rename the target page, the links are broken in the two cases above. I have screenshots documenting my tests Have I missed something in XWIKI? Is there another way to solve my problem? @XWIKI developper: do you have a schedule to correct this? Claude

[xwiki-users] Xwiki Enterprise 4.4: Customizing Velocity macros
by Naoufel Chbihi 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hello I'm using XWiki Enterprise 4.4 and I'm customizing the XWiki skin by using the Colibri skin a as a base. Looking through the menuview.vm Velocity template, I found out that the #xwikitopmenuentry macro is being used generate the HTML for the "ADD", "XWIKI", "Space" and "Page" menus. I have added a "Macros" attribute to the XWikiSkins class, created a copy of macros.vm into the /xwiki/skins/myskin/templates, and set the "Macros" attribute to #renderTemplate('templates/macros.vm'). I then wrote a new Velocity macro inside this file (called "#xwikitopmenuentry2") and modified the menuview.vm file to call #xwikitopmenuentry2 but I still see the old code being generated. So, it doesn't seem that I'm doing this the right way. Any idea how I can do this? Thank you.

[xwiki-users] Best Practice for multiple "fully functional" instances?
by lists＠yhmail.de 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hello! We are currently discussing the possibilities on how to configure our system for the following scenarios: We have multiple XWiki instances for several users. Since the users want to have full admin rights we cannot use the xwiki farm. For security reasons we are deploying each instance into a virtual machine (KVM) with its own Tomcat and Database. Using this kind of setup seems to be most secure and flexible in terms of miss configured tomcat installations, SQL-injections and file-system (on purpose or by mistake) access though scripting. The obvious down side is the huge overhead which comes with the virtualization. So I was wondering what kind of setups you are using. Can I deploy the application into some kind of tomcat-chroot-environment? What kind of database setup is possible? Is it possible to restrict access to a certain database on an application bases (much like you can restrict access based on the connecting ip-address). The Database has the be PostgreSQL. I appreciate all kind of inputs. Cheers, Stephanie.
