-----------------------------------

             Summary: Container based authentcation, can't get admin permissions
                 Key: JSPWIKI-1249
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-1249
             Project: JSPWiki
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Alex O'Ree


related to JSPWIKI-841 and JSPWIKI-1176 but this is different.

All attach all the configuration files and the branch i'm working on but 
basically i have the following configuration
 * Tomcat hosted JSPWiki
 * Tomcat users xml file has the following groups
 ** wikiadmin
 ** wikiusers
 * Tomcat users xml file has the following users
 ** jspadmin in wikiadmin,wikiusers
 ** jspuser in wikiusers
 * JSPWiki web.xml
 ** set for HTTP_BASIC authentication
 ** the roles for Admin were all changed to wikiadmin
 ** the roles for Authenticated were changed to wikiuser
 * JSPWiki Policy file was changed from AllPermsions: Admin to AllPermissions: 
wikiadmin (which made no difference)

So my goal is to get admin privileges without using the "Admin" group/role by 
renaming it. This has failed.

I've also added a new jspwiki property for providing an aliasing mechanism for 
externally defined roles to the "Admin" jspwiki role. I can see it getting 
attached to the user however i still not able to get the delete permission 
anywhere.

 

This might be caused by the DefaultAuthorizationManager#allowedByLocalPolicy 
which calls from jdk api but I can't seem to figure out what's going on here.
