RE: [wicket-security] LDAP integration?

2008-01-07 Thread William Hoover
The only issue I have with proposed solution 1 is that there is duplication of 
code, but I cannot see a simple way around it. Is it plausible to adopt the 
same strategy that we mount pages? I was thinking that doing something like:

mountSecurePage(MySecureWebPage.class)

...may be a nice alternative to actually extending SecureWebPage.

I will defiantly contribute any ldap integration code once I am able to get it 
working properly ;o)

You could do LoginPage extends AbstractBasePage
MySecurePage extends AbstractBasePage implements ISecurePage
OtherPage extends MySecurePage

Or alternatively
MyInterface extends ISecurePage
AbstractBasePage extends SecureWebPage
LoginPage extends AbstractBasePage
OtherPage extends AbstractBasePage implements MyInterface
The important part here is the MyInterface
By default Swarm only does an instantiation check on components with
the ISecurePage interface (which is implemented by SecureWebPage).
But you can change this to any interface you like as long as the
interface extends ISecureComponent.
To do this you need to overwrite the setupStrategyFactory method of
SwarmWebApplication to do
setStrategyFactory(new SwarmStrategyFactory(MyInterface.class,getHiveKey()));

Personally i would go for option 1 as you can simply copy the
implementation for ISecurePage from SecureWebPage

BTW once you have the ldap part up and running and if it is setup in a
generic way i would be interested in including it with swarm or a
subproject if thats alright with you.

 I think there will be one more beta before we do the final.
 I recently made some changes to boost performance and a public beta
 for that will be better. Even though we are already using it in our
 apps without problems through the snapshot release.
 With any luck the 2nd beta will be released this weekend and the final
 will probably follow soon after.

 Well the slightly more complex route is connecting to ldap yourself
 (option number 1 in my previous mail).
 Personally i think the mapping between ldap and swarm will be a
 breeze. because a swarm principal is basically just a name.

Do you mean that little bit of insignificant code in the Secure(Web)Page ?
All that does is redirect to the SecureComponentHelper so i would not
call that code duplication.
Even more all SecureComponents i create use the same oneliners to
redirect to SecureComponentHelper.

Regarding the mount, i am not sure if you can get the mount path if
all you have is a page class (you probably can somehow but i don't
know how)
In that case you can extend SwarmStrategy and use the mount path to
check for instantiation permission.
But i would not recommend that just to avoid code duplication, if it
really bothers you you can go ahead with option 2 and use a custom
interface for instantiation checking.
Or you could try and ignore the fact that the login page should not be
a SecurePage and try it anyway, i am not a 100% sure it will work but
i did make some exceptions that bypass the instantiation check if the
page class in question is the login page, so give it a try.
The reason the documentation says you should not have your login page
extend SecurePage is because it just doesn't feel right to do so.

Re: [wicket-security] LDAP integration?

2008-01-05 Thread Maurice Marrink
You could do LoginPage extends AbstractBasePage
MySecurePage extends AbstractBasePage implements ISecurePage
OtherPage extends MySecurePage

Or alternatively
MyInterface extends ISecurePage
AbstractBasePage extends SecureWebPage
LoginPage extends AbstractBasePage
OtherPage extends AbstractBasePage implements MyInterface
The important part here is the MyInterface
By default Swarm only does an instantiation check on components with
the ISecurePage interface (which is implemented by SecureWebPage).
But you can change this to any interface you like as long as the
interface extends ISecureComponent.
To do this you need to overwrite the setupStrategyFactory method of
SwarmWebApplication to do
setStrategyFactory(new SwarmStrategyFactory(MyInterface.class,getHiveKey()));

Personally i would go for option 1 as you can simply copy the
implementation for ISecurePage from SecureWebPage

BTW once you have the ldap part up and running and if it is setup in a
generic way i would be interested in including it with swarm or a
subproject if thats alright with you.

 example:

 Example 1:

 LoginPage extends AbstractBasePage (will not work)
 OtherPage1 extends AbstractBasePage
 OtherPage2 extends AbstractBasePage
 ...

 Example 2:
 AbstractBasePage extends WebPage (wrapper)

 LoginPage extends AbstractBasePage
 OtherPage1 extends ? (cannot extend both AbstractBasePage and SecureWebPage)
 OtherPage2 extends ? (cannot extend both AbstractBasePage and SecureWebPage)

 I'm with you... it doesn't seem to be too difficult to get the mapping 
 between ldap/swarm working. I am attempting to try it out in a simple 
 application. However, I am receiving a NullPointerException in WaspSession 
 because the StrategyFactory is not instantiated. Is there something else that 
 needs to be down in the SwarmWebApplication (following the instructions from

 I think there will be one more beta before we do the final.
 I recently made some changes to boost performance and a public beta
 for that will be better. Even though we are already using it in our
 apps without problems through the snapshot release.
 With any luck the 2nd beta will be released this weekend and the final
 will probably follow soon after.

 Well the slightly more complex route is connecting to ldap yourself
 (option number 1 in my previous mail).
 Personally i think the mapping between ldap and swarm will be a
 breeze. because a swarm principal is basically just a name.

There is however an example showing how to integrate swarm with acegi

and there is an other example showing wicket-auth-roles acegi and ldap
http://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/acegi-and-wicket-auth-roles.html
So if you rip the ldap config from the last example and use it in the
first example instead of the TestingAuthenticationProvider you should
be ready to go
The example also has some suggestion on how you could do your own ldap
permission mapping if you choose to go that way.

If you decide to go all out and build directly on wasp you should take
a look at swarm itself a a reference, just ignore all the stuff about
permissions, principals, subjects and stuff.

According to the documentation one should not extend SecureWebPage for the 
login page (makes sense), but if you have a decorator that is used on all of 
your pages (including the login page) how can you accomplish this? For example:

Example 1:
AbstractBasePage extends SecureWebPage (wrapper)

LoginPage extends AbstractBasePage (will not work)
OtherPage1 extends AbstractBasePage
OtherPage2 extends AbstractBasePage
...

Example 2:
AbstractBasePage extends WebPage (wrapper)

LoginPage extends AbstractBasePage 
OtherPage1 extends ? (cannot extend both AbstractBasePage and SecureWebPage)
OtherPage2 extends ? (cannot extend both AbstractBasePage and SecureWebPage)
...
