Re: J2 decorators not displayed in IE
Raphael, thanks for your response! It looks like you are right - and the problem is in including .css styles. I checked the source from IE and Firefox - both have a relative link to the Jetspeed's .css styles: and it looks like the stylesheet is not used - no decorations are there, and no images. References to images look like this: http://24.61.4.55:8080/jetspeed/portal/_ns:YURDRVBvcnRhbDo6RXZlbnRzQ2FsZW5kYXJQb3J0bGV0fGMwfGQx/"; title="maximized" > I am also using .css styles for my portlets, and I see that the link to my CSS file is the absolute one, like this: http://24.61.4.55:8080/DCEPortal/css/dce-portal.css"/> When I include this CSS into my JSP I use the ContextPath : "/> An my stylesheet gets included just fine. I thought I would do what you suggested and substitute relative URL with the absolute one, so I took a look at the tigris/decorator-top.vm - however, I don't see where the stylesheets are included (I don't really know Velocity...). I can see this line: #includeStyleSheets() but where is this function? (I'm assuming this is a function ?) Any suggestions on how I could set them? Thanks a lot!

J2 decorators not displayed in IE
Hi, I have a weird problem here. I've been developing my portal using Firefox only, and have a pretty much complete portal by now. However, when I finally got around to checking it out in IE, I've realized to my horror that it looks completely screwed up there. Basically, no portlet decorators and J2 images (like tabs, borders around portlets, etc.) are displayed there. The content of the portlets is just fine. Even more, this happens when I access my portal through a redirect from my ISP that forwards the requests to my PC's IP address. If I access the portal through localhost:8080 - everything looks fine in both Firefox and IE. to summarize: access portal through IP address: Firefox/Netscape OK, IE - no images/decorators access portal through localhost: both Firefox and IE are OK Did I miss some config parameter for J2 or something like that? Any ideas? Thank you! Marina - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: using MySQL with J2 - setup problem
Thanks, Randy :) I modified jetspeed.xml file using the one from a working HSQL J2M2 installation as an example and copied it into the /conf/Catalina/localhost dir. I also copied a security.xml file from the HSQLDB J2M2 installation and adjusted the docBase value. Unfortunately, when I started Tomcat, I've got the same error: Caused by: org.apache.jetspeed.prefs.PreferencesException: Failed to initialize prefs api.org.springframework.transaction.CannotCreateTransactionException: Could not create OJB transaction; nested exception is org.apache.ojb.broker.accesslayer.LookupException: SQLException thrown while trying to get Connection from Datasource (java:comp/env/jdbc/jetspeed) at org.apache.jetspeed.prefs.impl.PreferencesFactoryImpl.init(Preference sFactoryImpl.java:70) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(NativeMethod) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl. ...

3. jetspeed.xml
there was no jetspeed.xml in the
=/conf/Catalina/localhost dir
The only jetspeed.xml files in the J2-project-home
directory that I found were:
maven-plugin/target/classes/plugin-resources/jetspeed.xml
portal/src/resources/jetspeed.xml
Should I manually edit one of them and copy into
/conf/Catalina/localhost dir ?
Is not it supposed to be done by the maven 'allBuild'
goal?
4. I checked the MySQL driver jar file itself - it
does have both com.mysql.jdbc.Driver and
org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver. It is indeed located in the
/shared/lib dir.
Any other setup I could have missed?
Thanks!

Re: using MySQL with J2 - setup problem
Thanks, Randy.
Something very strange is going on here...
I tried different variations of the build.properties
file and it comes down to the following two scenarios:
1) if I set properties to:
org.apache.jetspeed.test.database.url =
jdbc:mysql://localhost/j2test
org.apache.jetspeed.test.database.driver =
com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
org.apache.jetspeed.test.database.user = admin
org.apache.jetspeed.test.database.password = admin
org.apache.jetspeed.test.jdbc.drivers.path=${org.apache.jetspeed.server.shared}/mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga-bin.jar
org.apache.jetspeed.test.database.default.name=mysql
org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.url =
jdbc:mysql://localhost/j2
org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.driver =
com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.user = admin
org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.password =
admin
org.apache.jetspeed.production.jdbc.drivers.path=${org.apache.jetspeed.server.shared}/mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga-bin.jar
org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.default.name=mysql
then I get errors running maven allBuild target::
jetspeed2:jar:install:
build:start:
java:prepare-filesystem:
[mkdir] Created dir:
C:\Marina\Harvard\Projects\jakarta-jetspeed-2-MYSQL\portlet-api\target\classes

2) if I set driver's name to:
org.apache.jetspeed.test.jdbc.drivers.path=${org.apache.jetspeed.server.shared}/mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga-bin.jar
org.apache.jetspeed.test.database.default.name=mysql

org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.driver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.user=admin
org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.password=admin
then 'maven allBuild' finishes successfully, but:
-- no jetspeed.war is created in the Tomcat's webapp/
directory --> when trying to access J2 from a browser
- you get 404 error
-- no tables are created in the 'j2' DB schema.
'j2test' schema has all tables created and populated.
-- the jetspeed.war file is created in the J2
project's .../portal/target/ directory though. I tried
copying it manually to the Tomcat's webapp/ dir - but
when I started tomcat, the following errors were
thrown when Tomcat was trying to deploy jetspeed.war:

It hunts me that it must be something very simple and
very stupid, since nobody else had these problems
using MySQL, but I can't find what that is...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yes, that was it - the default name had to be set to
'mysql'.
Once I did that, the build script finished all DB
setup work fine but it failed at a later point:

using MySQL with J2 - setup problem
Hi,
I finally got around to switch from HSQLDB to MySQL
and ran into a build problem.
I setup MySQL DB schema and users per J2 instructions
(created 'j2test' and 'j2' schemas and the 'jetspeed2'
user that has all writes for those schemas). I have
also modified J2's build.properties to use MySQL (I'm
including a snippet below).
After that, I do the following:
1. start MySQL DB
2. cd [EMAIL PROTECTED]
maven allClean - OK
maven allBuild - Error:

non-scrollable IFramePortlet
Hello! I tried using IFramePortlet to display a content from another URL inside it, and I noticed that the content of the IFramePortlet window is not scrollable. I tried modifying the .../decorations/portlet/html/tigris/decorator.vm as following: ... ## Portlet Content ## #if (!$jetspeed.isHidden($myF) || $jetspeed.WindowState != "minimized") $myF.renderedContent #end ... but it did not help.

Re: users/roles/groups creation and saving
David, thanks a lot for your help!
After looking more closely at the HSQL DB scripts and
the populate DB scripts I was able to create a bare
minimum custom script for my portal.
I thought I'd share this with the group on case it
might help somebody to do the same:
Here is a minimal script to create a new user, new
role and assign the role to the user:
INSERT INTO SECURITY_PRINCIPAL
VALUES(54,'org.apache.jetspeed.security.InternalRolePrincipalImpl',false,true,'/role/dce-admin-role','2005-02-02
15:02:54.171','2005-02-02 15:02:54.171')
INSERT INTO SECURITY_PRINCIPAL
VALUES(56,'org.apache.jetspeed.security.InternalUserPrincipalImpl',false,true,'/user/dce-admin','2005-02-02
15:03:27.624','2005-02-02 15:03:27.64')
INSERT INTO SECURITY_CREDENTIAL
VALUES(53,56,'some_password',0,'org.apache.jetspeed.security.spi.impl.DefaultPasswordCredentialImpl',false,false,true,0,false,'2005-02-02
15:03:27.64','2005-02-02
15:03:27.64',NULL,NULL,'2005-04-03')
INSERT INTO SECURITY_USER_ROLE VALUES(56,54)
// not necessary if you are OK with a default
profiling rule
INSERT INTO PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC
VALUES('dce-admin','page','role-fallback')
INSERT INTO PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC
VALUES('dce-admin','docset','role-fallback')
One question:
Now that I have a basic SQL script to create a new
user, I thought I could use it in a "RegisterPortlet"
where a new user could register himself by typing in
his username/password, and , as a result, the portlet
would execute the SQL script on the backend.
However, after looking at the source code of J2's
UserBrowserPortlet and UserDetailsPortlet portlets it
seems like this would not be enough - those portlets
are using J2's objects like
AuthenticationProviderProxy and others.
Could somebody clarify if that's the correct way to
go to implement a RegisterPortlet? Or would execution
of the SQL script be enough?
Thank you!

Re: Security web.xml Example
I had the same problem with the 'security' web app "disappearing" after re-building J2.

users/roles/groups creation and saving
Hi! I'm trying to find an easy way to add new users/roles/groups to J2 permanently (using HSQL DB for now). By that I mean that I want to persist newly created objects in the DB between upgrades of J2. Currently, when you update and rebuild J2 from CVs, for example, you have to run the 'maven quickStart' goal, otherwise none of the web applications (/jetspeed, etc.) get deployed into the Tomcat. Unfortunately, this goal also wipes out your DB clean and you have to re-create all your custom users/groups/roles... After going through this (painful, if you have many users) exercise a few times, I decided to write my own version of the populate-default-db.sql - kind of script. The problem is that I'm not sure what are dependences between all tables and it was not that easy to find what tables changed after you add, say, a new user since you don't really know which tables you should be monitoring. Because of that, I have a few questions: 1. could somebody complete my list of tables that have to be modified when use create custom users and roles and want to tie them together? So far I have: to create a new role: PREFS_NODE SECURITY_PRINCIPAL to create a new user and assign the new role to it: SECURITY_PRINCIPAL PRINCIPAL_ROLE_ASSOC SECURITY_USER_ROLE SECURITY_USER_GROUP This actually does not work - I guess I missed a few tables... 2. Is there a way to save a 'snapshot' of a working DB with all new objects and use that in a new J2 installation? 3. if all else fails, where is the actual data for the HSQL DB stored? Maybe I could use some kind of 'diff' on it after I add a new user ... Thank you! Marina __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: How to create a custom profiling rule?
Sorry to bother you all with this again...
Ok, after I've done all these changes, I found a new
problem as well:
no links (*.link files) are displayed on either of the
pages, for neither of the users.
I tried placing them in the "/" and /dce-portal
directory, but still nothing is displayed.
Is this a problem with my new profiling rule?
What determines whether links are displayed or not?
Thanks!

RE: How to create a custom profiling rule?
Randy,
thanks for your help. You are probably right and I
made it more complicated than what it should be.
Basically, what I would like to have in my portal is:
1. all application-specific portal pages/ docsets/
links should be in a separate directory, say,
.../pages/dce-portal/
2. users ('dce-user', 'dce-admin') with the
'dce-user-role' should be able to see one main page,
dce-main-page.psml, and one additional page as a tab,
dce-users-page.psml. Both .psml pages are in the
.../pages/dce-portal/ directory
3. a generic (non-logged in, 'guest') user should see
the ../pages/dce-portal/dce-main-page.psml, and
nothing else
So, to accomplish this, I have created this custom
profiling rule:
insert into PROFILING_RULE values ('dce-generic',
'org.apache.jetspeed.profiler.rules.impl.StandardProfilingRule',
'rule for non-logged in DCE portal users')
insert into RULE_CRITERION values ('100',
'dce-generic', 0, 'path', 'path', '/dce-portal', 0)
and assigned it to the 'guest', 'dce-user' and
'dce-admin' users.
This made all pages visible to these three users. To
restrict access to the user-specific page to the users
with the 'dce-user-role' role, I've added the
following security constraints to the
dce-users-page.psml:
dce-user-role
view
Well, that did work. With the exception of those
problems I mentioned in my previous post (one of them
was fixed by using #if($site.rootLinks.isEmpty()) as
David suggested)
So, the only problem that is still left is inclusion
of the .ds sets from the '/' directory. I would rather
like to use the ../pages/dce-portal/ as the root
directory, but my profiling rule does not seem to
accomplish this.
I hope I'm being clear :)
And thanks a lot for looking into this!

Re: How to create a custom profiling rule?
David, (#if($site.rootLinks.isEmpty()) worked just fine. I'm not sure how to submit a patch - but if you let me know I would be happy to do that. As to the docsets. Yes, removing them does solve the problem. However, I wanted to be able to have some default .ds in the root directory for generic users and use non-root .ds files from role-specific directories when users login. I was hoping that my custom profiling rule would do just that. I guess it does not, but that's Ok, I can work around that.

Re: How to create a custom profiling rule?
David,
Thanks for the clarification. I did find a way to do
role-based profiling, basically, by restricting access
to specific PSML pages by roles.
I still have a few problems I was not able to solve so
far. The main one is that I still get some elements
from the '/' directory included into my pages, even
though I explicitly specified in my profiling rule
that only elements from a specific directory should be
used. I think I made some stupid mistakes while
creating custom profiling rules...
Here is how I setup my portal's content and created a
new profiling rule using direct SQL (I don't think it
is possible to that through the Admin portlets yet):
1. create new directory for my Portal content:
pages/dce-portal
place into this directory:
dce-main-page.psml
dce-user-page.psml
folder.metadata
2. define new role, 'dce-user-role', and assign it to
the 'dce-user' user
3. define security constraints in the folder.metadata:
guest users can view all pages;
users with dce-user-role role can view all pages
guest
view
dce-user-role
view
4. define security constraints in the
dce-main-page.psml:
*
view
5. define security constraints in the
dce-user-page.psml:
dce-user-role
view
6. create new J2 profiling rule: dce-generic rule:
rule for non-logged in DCE Portal users (by default,
they are all guest users)
insert into PROFILING_RULE values ('dce-generic',
'org.apache.jetspeed.profiler.rules.impl.StandardProfilingRule',
'rule for non-logged in DCE portal users')
insert into RULE_CRITERION values ('100',
'dce-generic', 0, 'hard.coded', 'page',
'/dce-portal/dce-main-page.psml', 0)
7. assign new rule to the 'guest' user
delete from PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC where principal_name
= 'guest'
insert into PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC values ('guest',
'page', 'dce-generic')
insert into PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC values ('guest',
'docset', 'dce-generic')
8. do the same for the 'dce-user' user
The results of all that:
in general , it worked as intended. The
pages/dce-portal/dce-main-page.psml is shown whenever
a 'guest' user accesses it. When a user logs in with a
'dce-user-role' - he also sees the second page (tab),
dce-ser-page.psml.
However, there are a few problems:
1. Empty Additional Links area is shown - even
though there are no *.link files in the
pages/dce-portal/ dir
2. Empty Top Pages area is shown
3. Docsets from the / root directory (*.ds files)
are included
I also tried to modify the profiling rule this way:
insert into RULE_CRITERION values ('100',
'dce-generic', 0, 'path', 'path', '/dce-portal', 0)
but it produced the same results.
Any idea how to avoid showing root-level elements and
empty docsets in the portal page?
I checked
decorations\layout\html\tigris\decorator-top.vm and it
seems like it does try not to show, say, 'Additional
Links' label when there are no links
(#if($site.rootLinks) ). My guess (without
checking the actual code) would be that it is checking
the links in the '/' directory, always, and then tries
to display links from the real working directory (in
my case - there are none).
Any insight will be greatly appreciated :-)

RE: How to create a custom profiling rule?
Randy, thanks a lot for your answer!
Do you know if there are plans to implement role-based
(and group-based) profiling in the future J2 releases?
I would think that role-based profiling is very
critical for real applications.
With the default global profiling, does it mean that
the profiling rule assigned to '*' users is used
UNLESS a different rule is assigned to specific users?
Or does it apply to all users regardless of other
assignments?
Thanks,

Re: How to create a custom profiling rule?
One more related question:
It seems that profiling rules are assigned to the
users based on the user names. At least this is what I
see in the PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC table - I created a
new user, 'dce_admin', and assigned a 'security'
profiling rule to it, and the ("dce_admin", "page",
"security") values got inserted into the
PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC table. So, I assumed that the
'PRINCIPAL_NAME' in this table is in fact a username.
Now my question: how could I assign a profiling rule
to a rolename, not a username?
For example, I might want all users with the
'dce_admin_role' role to use the 'security' rule.
Thanks!

How to create a custom profiling rule?
Hi!
I'm trying to create a new profiling rule for a user.
>From looking at the examples and the DB tables it
seems that all I need to do is to add new entries to
the PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC and RULE_CRITERION tables.
The first table's structure and purpose are quite
clear. If I want to create a new 'dce_rule'(for both
pages and docsets) for the 'dce_admin' user I think I
should do the following:
insert into PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC values ('dce_admin',
page, 'dce_rule');
insert into PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC values ('dce_admin',
docset, 'dce_rule');
Then, I need to add new rule criteria for the new rule
into the RULE_CRITERION table. I looked at the current
values there and I am not sure how they are used to
define profiling rules. More specifically, I see, for
example, the following entries for the 'role-group'
rule:
11
role-group
0
role
role
2
12
role-group
1
navigation
navigation
/
2
13
role-group
2
group
group
2
I aslo know (thanks to Randy's explanation) that the
search paths returned by this rule are:
/_role/rolename
/_group/groupname
/
However, I am not sure how and what fields from the
RULE_CRITERION table are used to construct these
paths. Are 'Name' or 'Value' fields used ? They are
null's for group and role request_type , but '/' for
the navigation one. What are the 'path.session',
'navigation', and other REQUEST_TYPEs? And where does
FALLBACK_TYPE come into play?
Basically, my question is: what is the meaning of the
fields of this table and how are they used?
Thanks!
Marina
P.S. I think I sent this e-mail to the development
list as well - sorry about that, it was done my mistake

Re: errors when loging as 'jetspeed' user
David, thanks a lot for the pointers. I was able to fix the problem I was having, but I was still curious to see how user profiles are mapped to the DB structure. > I assume you are using the Hypersonic database. > If so, run the manageProd.bat or manageProd.sh > script found > in the src/database/hsql directory > > From there you can edit or reset your data with SQL > Yes, I use HSQL for now. I looked at the manageProd scripts - they invoke the HSQL DB Manager application. It is useful, but I am not completely sure which tables I should be updating... I looked at the DB tables and the most promising , in my opinion , is the 'SECURITY_CREDENTIAL' table. Is the 'value' field the one that contains passwords? I could not find a 'password' field in any other table ... Also, would setting the 'update_required' field to FALSE be enough to stop password update requests from J2? I did not try it yet, since your next suggestion worked as a quick fix, but I would like to try this approach to exempt only selective users from updating their passwords :) > > 2. how could I stop Jetspeed from requiring me to > > change the passwords all the time ?

Re: errors when loging as 'jetspeed' user
Randy, you were absolutely right - the problems I had were due to some DB inconsistency, I think. I have reinstalled Tomcat and checked out latest version of J2M1 from CVS and I had no problem logging in or changing passwords as any of the users. I was trying to understand what exactly went wrong, though, as I did not feel comfortable loosing my working J2 installation. I looked more into what I've done and I think I found the most likely reason for the problem. In brief, I was mixing DB initialization/startup procedures from the binary and CVS installs - I was running maven start.production.server with the binary install and start_database.bat after I reinstalled J2 from CVS Also, incorrect users were being used as the 'org.apache.jetspeed.services.autodeployment.user' admin' for CVS install, instead of 'j2deployer' (since I was using 'leftovers' in the build.properties file after the binary install) Basically, my guess is, that if you built J2 from a binary distribution, you should always start your Db with the start_database.bat script before starting Tomcat. And if you updated J2 from CVS, you should run 'maven quickStart' once at the build time, and then start the DB with the 'maven start.production.server' all subsequent times you start J2. I may be completely off here... Thanks for your help!

Re: errors when loging as 'jetspeed' user
Randy, thanks for a quick reply! I'm using J2 M1 release - but I built it out of CVS a few days ago. I have just ran 'maven quickStart' (it wiped out all my custom portlets :( - but that's Ok), and tried to login as 'jetspeed'. Again, it asked me to change the password. When I typed in a new password and clicked 'Save' button I've got exactly the same error as below... It seems it is 'jetspeed' user only that has this problem - I was able to log in as other users with no problem. Thanks!

errors when loging as 'jetspeed' user
Hi, I can't seem to login as the 'jetspeed' user anymore... First time I logged in - I was requested to change my password. So, I changed it, say, from password1 to password2. Then I tried to login using the password2 - and I was getting the following exception: javax.servlet.ServletException: Fatal error encountered while processing portal request: org.apache.jetspeed.pipeline.PipelineException: org.apache.jetspeed.pipeline.PipelineException: org.apache.jetspeed.pipeline.PipelineException: org.apache.jetspeed.aggregator.FailedToRenderFragmentException: Unable to render fragment because: org.apache.jetspeed.container.window.FailedToRetrievePortletWindow: org.apache.jetspeed.container.window.FailedToCreateWindowException: Error generating new PortletEntity: org.apache.jetspeed.components.portletentity.PortletEntityNotGeneratedException: Failed to retrieve Portlet Definition for jetspeed::TwoColumns org.apache.jetspeed.engine.JetspeedServlet.doGet(JetspeedServlet.java:234) I restarted Jetspeed, logged in as 'admin' , and set password for the 'jetspeed' user back to 'password1'. Then I tried to login as 'jetspeed' and neither of the passwords was working anymore... Two questions: 1. how could I cleanup the 'jetspeed' user and reset its password? 2. how could I stop Jetspeed from requiring me to change the passwords all the time ?

Re: J2 Profiler
Randy, Doug, I'm very happy to see the continuation of the thread - profiling and page layout is exactly what I was trying to figure out next! I followed Randy's advise and tried to investigate more the differences in the portal page layout for different users. Here are some of my notes (sorry, they are long...) - I hope you could correct me where my guesses were too wild and answer some questions: When user is not logged in, he is a guest user by default. According to the j1 profiling rule (???), pages for the guest user should be taken from the \pages\_user\guest\ directory. However, since this directory does not exist, a default fallback (is that right?) rule is used and the default pages/directories are used: \pages\default-page.psml When logged in as a user user: -- Everything from the \pages\ directory is used; stuff from the \pages\_user\user\ is used in addition to that -- user-specific content comes from the \pages\_user\user , for example, new .psml files and corresponding Tabs that are displayed for the user user only: p003.psml --> [USER 003] PSML page tab nested-layout.psml --> Nested Layout tab -- user user also has the user role (I wish the names would be somewhat different :-) ). Additional user-role-specific stuff comes from the \pages\_role\user\ directory. It has only one directory - \top-links\ , which is referenced from the \pages\_user\user\top-pages.ds file: [USER] Top Pages docset /top-links/*.* (see questions on that below) When logged in as admin user: -- you see everything that the guest user can see, but in addition, you also see the Jetspeed Administrative Portlets link under the Folders and Pages header in the left-side menu -- there is also a top-pages.ds file in the \pages\ dir that defines this: Top Pages Page haut docset /Administrative In addition, admin user also has the manager role, so the \pages\_role\manager\ dir is used for the manager-specific content: the folder.metadata determines what is included into the page. It has: Administrative My guess: this is why only a user in the manager role can see the Administrative Portlets link (is this right?) But then, the \pages\_role\manager\folder.metadata also has: Google.link p001.psml p002.psml p003.psml p004.psml but none of them (links for .link and tabs for .psml) is displayed on the page. I would guess that all pxxx.psml are not displayed simply because they do not exist in the \pages\_role\manager\ folder. What about the Google.link though? It does exist in the directory Questions: How are .ds files (docset definitions ??) and the role-specific folders (like \pages\_role\manager ) are related? Do top-pages.ds files under a \_user\username or ..\pages\ directories always reference resources in the \_role\rolename directory? Thanks a lot!

Re: Jetspeed2 M1 security setup
Yes, it did work!
The original SQL query did not work right away, so I
looked more closely into the DB schema and guessed
that I should be using the '/role' node's node_id as
the 'parent_node_id' (204). That was a lucky guess and
the following query worked fine:
INSERT INTO PREFS_NODE
VALUES(200,204,'dce-admin-role',0,'/role/dce-admin-role','2004-05-22
16:27:12.472','2004-05-22 16:27:12.472');
After that, I was able to see the new role,
'dce-admin-role', in the 'Role Management' portlet's
list, and was able to assign this role to a user and
see it detected correctly by
PortletRequest.isUserInRole("dce-admin-role").
Thanks a lot for your help!

Re: Jetspeed2 M1 security setup
Thanks, Randy,
I tried adding the new role directly into the HSQL DB
like this:
INSERT INTO SECURITY_PRINCIPAL
VALUES(15,'org.apache.jetspeed.security.JetspeedRolePrincipalImpl',0,1,'/role/dce-admin-role','2004-12-15
16:27:12.572','2004-12-15 16:27:12.572');
I ran this sql query directly on the HSQL DB, without
modifying the populate-userinfo-for-default-psml.sql
and rebuilding J2.
After I restarted J2, though, the new role is still
not displayed in the list of available roles in the
"Role Management" portlet. And asigning this role to a
user through the "User Manegement" portlet did not
work either.
Is this the only table I have to update
('security_principal') in order to create a new role,
or are there some other related tables that I missed?
Thanks,
Marina

RE: Jetspeed2 M1 security setup
Randy, thanks a lot for your help! I was able to setup
a basic access control to my portlet's view and Edit
mode.
I do have more questions on the user management in J2,
though :)
I've created a new user, dce-admin, using the
"Administrative Portlets" as 'admin' user. This worked
fine, and I was able to detect this user through the
PortletResponse.getUserPrincipal().
I've also tried to create a new role, say
dce-admin-role, and assign this role to the new user.
This , unfortunately, did not work. I entered the new
role name into the corresponding form ("Add Role") of
the "Role Management" tab, but it was never added to
the list of the available roles and when I tried to
assign this role to the new user I've got an error
from J2 complaining that this role does not exist:
*** New Full Path: /role/dce-admin-role
failed to add user to role: dce-admin,
dce-admin-roleorg.apache.jetspeed.security.SecurityException:
The role does not exist. dce-admin-role
*** New Full Path: /role/dce-admin-role
Any idea why this is not working?

RE: Jetspeed2 M1 security setup (was: jetspeed-newbie Roles-Groups-Users)
Hi,
I've successfully built and installed J2 M1 and was
looking into the demo applications to figure out how
to setup access control for portlets/pages.
After checking out some example portlets , like
RoleSecurityTest and Login, and their source code, I
think I have some idea of how to approach the task but
I would like to clarify some topics.
First, I'll list my assumptions and then ask
questions:
1.
tomcat-5.0.30-j2-M1\webapps\jetspeed\WEB-INF\pages\page.security
file specifies 'Edit'/'View' permissions for the
default Portal's page, defined in default-page.psml
Thus, this part :
admin
view, edit
means that only a user with the role 'admin' can edit
the layout of the page.
And this fragment:
manager
view
means that a user with the role 'manager' can view the
page.
However, anybody can view this default page in reality
- even before a user logs in. You don't need any
special privileges to access
http://localhost:8080/jetspeed to see the page.
My assumption is that it is because security
constraints are "overwritten" in the
pages/folder.metadata file (see below).
Is that true?
What is the scope of the page.security definitions and
where are they used?
2. each folder under /pages directory (including
/pages itself) has a folder.metadata file where more
are defined for that folder.
For example, here is pages/folder.metadata:
.
user
view
manager
*
view
And this is why all users can see the default page.
(Is that true?)
On the other hand, here is
pages\Administrative\folder.metadata :
Jetspeed Administrative Portlets
manager
This folder corresponds to the "Jetspeed
Administrative Portlets" menu item in the 'Folder and
Pages' menu on the left side of the Portal window.
However, it is displayed only when a user with the
'manager' role logged in.
3. There also are security-constraints in the .psml
files themselves. For example, pages/default-page.psml
has:
*
view
4. Also, there are defined in the
portlet.xml files of individual portlets. For example:
.
Administrator
admin
Manager
manager
User
user
and corresponding are defined in the
web.xml file of the portlet application:
The admin role
admin
The manager role
manager
The user role
user
Questions:
-- How do all the security declarations in #1, 2, 3
and 4 relate to each other?
-- What declarations take precedence?
-- what declarations are mandatory for others to work?
5. By looking at the
jakarta-jetspeed-2-M1\applications\demo\src\webapp\WEB-INF\web.xml
file I noticed that there were two example SSO
servlets registered - SSODemoServlet and
SSOBasicDemoServlet, and they were mapped to /sso-demo
and /sso-basic URLs respectively. Here is how
/sso-basic is protected:
HTTPBasicDemo
/sso-basic/*
tomcat
BASIC
Jetspeed
When I access this servlet as
http://localhost:8080/demo/sso-basic
I am getting a login screen that prompts me to enter
username and password, as expected.
The /sso-demo is not protected in the web.xml and when
accessing it as http://localhost:8080/demo/sso-demo
you just get an authentication error. Source code of
the SSODemoServlet gives some explanation:
/**
* SSODemoServlet - looks for username, password in
the URL for single
* signon to this servlet from a SSO portlet.
* Username request parameter: ssouser
* Password request parameter: ssopw
A few questions here:
-- how can you use these servlets from your portlets
if you want to utilize the Basic authentication
mechanism? Should I just call
RequestDispatcher.include("/demo/sso-basic")? If not -
how else could I use these servlets in portlets? Or,
maybe, not use servlets at all but get the Basic
authentication working for portlets somehow?
-- when supplying incorrect username/password for the
SSOBasicDemo servlet, you get an error page in the
browser and if you try to reload it it would not work
and would not let you to retry login, until you start
a new browser session. I checked my browser settings
(both Mozilla and IE) and made sure they do not cache
pages between requests - still the same problem. I'm
sure it's something very simple - but what?
Thanks fo rreading this till the end :)

Re: jetspeed-newbie Roles-Groups-Users
Sorry, I hit "Send " button before I finished the mail :) What I meant was: I see there is some relationship between directory names under the WEB-INF/pages directory and user like: WEB-INF/pages/_role manager/ user/ WEB-INF/pages/_user user/ So, for me to create a new user, should I use the same naming convention? For example, to add a new user "scott" with the role "admin" should I create corresponding directories WEB-INF/pages/_role/admin WEB-INF/pages/_user/scott ?? And then, will the pages (.psml) in the scott/ directory be what is shown in the portal when 'scott' logs in? By the way, where is the login takes place? I tried login through the "Login" portlet - but it did not change content of the portal window accordingly (I logged in as 'user') Another question: How do you add new users programmatically? Do I have to create those new directories every time I add a new user? What if I want users to be able to register themselves, how would all this directory/files setup work? Or do I have to write my own code to insert new users into the DB (by the way, I'm assuming that's what the populate-userinfo-for-default-psml.sql does, is it?) ? Sorry, I do feel somewhat confused here. Did anybody succeed in setting up the user management in J2? It's hard to believe I'm the first one struggling with this :) Thanks a lot!

Re: jetspeed-newbie Roles-Groups-Users
Hi, sorry, I'm still struggling with the user management/ access control. The documentation from J2's profiler directory helped somewhat but now I have even more questions than before :) First, I looked at the jetspeed.xml - and I see --- Randy Watler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Marina, > > There are two different Roles/Groups/Users domains > in effect: Tomcat's > and Jetspeed's.

RE: jetspeed-newbie Roles-Groups-Users
Randy, Thanks a lot for your response. I indeed have more specific question on the security setup in J2. I should note right away that I apologize if these questions are answered in the documentation you mentioned - I was not able to read it as it seems to be in the .sxw format (StarOffice, I think ?). Any idea how to convert them into some other format if I don't have StarOffice readily available? Now to my questions. I'm trying to do a very common thing: require a user to log in when he access the portal for the first time, and then show only those portlets that this user is authorized to see, and give him only those access rights to some functionality (buttons, links in the portlets) that he is authorized to do. First of, I was not sure how to limit access to the portal as a whole - usually you do that kind of thing in the web.xml descriptor of the web application. I guess that would be the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/web.xml But then, would not it be overwritten when Jetspeed is redeployed using the Maven build scripts? And what would I have to specify - /jetspeed/* or something like that? Anyway, I decided to try to protect the main portlet as the first step. In my potlet's web.xml I specified: Secure EventCalendar /EventsCalendarPortlet/* GET POST dce_admin BASIC dce_admin and I have a corresponding role defined in the tomcat-users.xml: Since I could not find any Jetspeed-specific information on specifying security constraints for individual portlets, I just used the Portlet Specification as the guide and added this to the portlet's portlet.xml: dce_admin dce_admin The EventsCalendarPortlet got deployed into J2 just fine, but it was displayed in the portal without prompting me for any username/password. If you could give me any pointers as to what I'm missing and what would the main steps be to achieve what I'm trying to do it would be great! Sorry for such a long e-mail, thanks!
