Re: portlet - security proxy?

2000-10-25 Thread Anbunidhi Mahalingam

As of now,  we do not have the facility to check the credentials in the
portlet.  But it is in the proposal list in CVS.Please do check
http://www.working-dogs.com/jetspeed/cvsweb/index.cgi/jetspeed/docs/proposal

Though Turbine supports it is just for portal. Not for portlet.. So once the
proposal is implemented we can do it.

Subject: portlet - security proxy?


 I am looking for information on how portlet can
 authenticate user for remote service using
 the same credentials that he/she logged with
 in the portal. Like a portlet that connects to
 email/web space site and retrieves the data
 given the password and id are identical with
 the portal's. If you have any links or info please
 email. Thanks,
 Dannie

ACL's

2000-10-19 Thread Anbunidhi Mahalingam

ACL's  in  Jetspeed :

I just tried to control the portlet through Jetspeed (like show / hide
particular portlet in the portal) based on the ACL stuff.  But I got failed
because of the following strategies.  If I am wrong in doings, please
correct me and help me to resolve this issue.(atleast controlling one
portlet) using ACL.

As Mr. Kevin Burton is pointing out that Jetspeed can access and use ACL's
which is in Turbine to control Jetspeed portal. But, as of my knowledge, the
ACL's which we are using in Turbine is not sufficient for controlling our
portlet. Turbine ACL's just control entire screen/portal not our individual
portlet. It is not possibe to control access to a portlet or part of it
through Turbine. If we have ACL's in jetspeed we can control our each and
every portlet with in the screen/portal.

For example, if we want to use Jetspeed in an intranet stuff like, think
about a portlet which can show the salary of each employee. In this case we
must have the ability to restrict the usage to people of the HR department.
On the other hand it is not necessary to enable this restriction mechanism
on the user level. In general we would restrict the access to a group of
users (for example the members of the HR department). These users will be
members of a specific role. As a result we should enable access to portlet
functionality depending on their roles. Username may still need to be used
in the access/denial specfication. Otherwise, how do you deny access to one
user of the HR group, but allow access to all others? We cannot control this
through Turbine ACL's.

So we need seperate ACL's which should be in a position to control our
individual portlet within portal/screen.

With Regards,

Anbunidhi Mahalingam.
