[xwiki-users] standard authentication password handling

[Alaina]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering how the standard authentication handles user
passwords. Especially I would like to know whether those passwords get
sent from the client to the server in plaintext or whether they get
encrypted.

Or in other words is it safe to use a non-encrypted http connection or
should I use to a SSL https connection to prevent password sniffing.

Thanks for your help,

[xwiki-users] xwiki Macro using groovy

[Alaina]

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much for your quick answer on my previous question.

I am trying to write a bibliography/cite macro (I am happy to share
once it dies something useful). I am writing the macro in a wiki page
and I am using groovy as scripting language.

I would like to have access to the URL of an attachment of the page
the macro is used on. I am doing so by using

doc.getAttachmentURL( name );

however, the URL uses the page the Macro is saved in, not the page the
macro is used on. I think I managed this before using velocity.
So my question: what would be the right way of accessing the Document
of the page the macro is placed on?


Thanks for your help,
