Hi,
i found the cause of the error. What is the difference between the
following two lines:
Line 1:
xwiki
.authentication
.authclass
=
com
.kontrast.vodafone.portal.xwiki.plugins.auth.PortalAuthenticationPlugin
Line 2:
xwiki
.authentication
.authclass
=
com
.kontrast.vodafone.portal.xwiki.plugins.auth.PortalAuthenticationPlugin
If you can guess it, you'll get a cookie. The difference is a BLANK at
the end. When the class name is resolved, there is no trimming. Thus a
blank at the end borks up the process. Pretty annoying, huh? Maybe
there should be trimming in places like that?
I got the plugin up and running now. Thanks for all the assistance!
