[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-204?page=history ]
Ate Douma updated JS2-204:
--------------------------
Description:
PLT.7.1.2 PortletURL security
-----------------------------
The PortalURL doesn't yet honor a request for the explicit generation of secure
or non-secure PortletURLs as required by the Portlet Specification.
Whatever the setting, a non-secure url is always generated.
I will implement this requirement using the same solution as provided by Jeremy
Boyes for the Pluto PortalDriver.
See: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLUTO-82.
This solution will use two different Servlet Mappings in web.xml for the
JetspeedServlet: a non-secure (what we have now already: /portal/*) and a
secure (/secure/portal/*).
For the secure mapping a security-constraint with transport-garantee
CONFIDENTIAL will be defined, effectively securing any access through this
mapping.
These mappings are, and also need be, defined in
WEB-INF/conf/jetspeed.properties too.
The AbstractPortalURL will read these properties to determine which path to use
for secure and non-secure PortletURLs.
Note, these paths will *only* be used when a secure url must be generated while
the current request is not, or visa versa.
This means, other mappings can still be used (we have also a /jetspeed/*
mapping defined although I don't know why or if it is needed anymore) as long
as there isn't a switch from secure to non-secure or visa versa.
Absolute URL Rendering
----------------------
Another problem the above solution will partly solve is the current absolute
URL rendering (including the Scheme, ServerName and Portnummer in an URL) which
poses problems with Proxy configurations as has been recently been reported on
the list by Scott Heaberlin.
By using different mappings for the secure and non-secure access we don't need
to prefix the urls
with a HTTP:// or HTTPS:// scheme.
I will also remove the Scheme, Servername and Portnummer encoding in url
generation as currently is done by the JetspeedPowerTool,
JetspeedVelocityViewServlet and the ContentLocatingRequestWrapper of the
ContentServer.
