Re: [xwiki-users] [ANN] XWiki Enterprise 2.0.2 and XWiki Enterprise Manager 2.0.2 Released
Wish XWiki was as easy to upgrade as Hudson https://hudson.dev.java.net/is. IMO only then these frequent XWiki updates with usually 100+ bugs/features would make sense. Regards, Stevo.

Thanks :-) Secondly, can you please recommend which version to choose (upgrading from 1.8.4), 2.0 M2 or 1.9.2, if one plans to upgrade to 2.0 once it is released (if I'm not wrong, it's planned to be released by the end of August 2009). Is 2.0 M2 stable enough for this 1 month usage? Does 2.0 M2 include all the fixes included in 1.9.2? From a feature point of view, 2.0 M2 is better than 1.9.2 but since it's a milestone it's a bit less polished / stable. If you're using your instance in production I'd recommend using 1.9.2, if you can handle a couple rough bits 2.0 M2 will be fine. 2.0 M2 does include all the fixes that are part of 1.9.2 . I'm not sure using either one will make a big difference when upgrading to 2.0 final. Please note that the biggest difference between 1.8 and 1.9 / 2.0 is that by default new pages are created in syntax 2.0 - if you created custom applications in the wiki, you might want to make sure that the documents they create are still created in syntax 1.0 .

Re: [xwiki-users] Configuring OpenOffice server for XWiki 1.8
Asiri, thanks for feedback! soffice in /usr/share/ooo3 turned to be symbolic link to /usr/lib/ooo3/soffice script, which in turn uses /usr/lib/ooo3/soffice.bin - so after configuring, /usr/lib/ooo3 as server path, I was able to start it from XWiki. Custom script I previously had for starting soffice goes to history.

For this distribution there is /usr/share/ooo3 directory with program subdirectory, but soffice.bin XWiki is looking for is not there. Instead, I'm able to manually start OpenOffice server using /usr/bin/soffice script. Can you look into /usr/bin/soffice and see where your soffice.bin file is located? This issue needs to be addressed in jodconverter rather than in XWiki. I have asked Mirko a similar question some time ago: http://groups.google.com/group/jodconverter/browse_thread/thread/5300d34d71dfbefc?pli=1 According to the current jodconverter implementation, it looks for a OFFICE_HOME/program/soffice.bin file. And it will not work if this structure is not present. Is there any way to configure XWiki to use /usr/bin/soffice to start OpenOffice server, or to configure XWiki to use OpenOffice server already started outside of XWiki (e.g. using custom startup script) ? Previously this is the way officeimporter used to work. But with the upgrade to jodconverter-3.0 beta, this is no longer possible :( I need to dig around a bit and see if this mode can be supported.

[xwiki-users] XWiki Office 1.0 Milestone 1 and authentication
Hello all, I'm trying out XWiki Office 1.0 Milestone 1 and I'm experiencing issues with authentication. XWiki is on Tomcat, which is behind Apache HTTPD. SSO with Kerberos is configured, with fallback to basic authentication - all this doesn't seem to accept j_username and j_password XOffice plugin is sending (can see login requests in apache access log). Since login isn't successful, every next request from plugin results with The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.. Has any similar setup/scenario been supported/tested, and if not, are there any plans? +1 for Office 2003 support +1 for OpenOffice plugin Regards, Stevo. ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki and Kerberos SSO: authorization checks fail
Same happens with AppServerTrustedKerberosAuthServiceImpl - user gets created (I've checked in xwikidoc table), edit right is passed as parameter to createEmptyUser method (not sure where to check in the db if right has actually been applied), but still all the pages including main home page report error You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action.. Maybe it has to do with fact that user is first created (automatically just by visiting) and only after that I import initial content (xwiki-enterprise-wiki-1.8-rc-1.xar). Authentication page in admin guide mentions authkerb.jar - this jar is nowhere to be found, but also seems not to be required. One other issue is if instead empty I configure xwiki.authentication.createuser=ldap, when obtaining user details plugin wrongly tries to bind only with principal/username - binding with admin account then search should be tried as well, just like XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl seems to work/fallback to. If just empty user would work I'd be satisfied. I've checked out source but can not find what is wrong. Btw, source code doesn't look to be in good shape - XWiki class is huge, XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl has some important TODOs, XWikiRightServiceImpl's checkRight and hasAccessLevel methods are very long, lots of non externalized messages, magic values, ... Any thoughts on where to look for solution to this access rights issue would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Regards, Stevo.

Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki and Kerberos SSO: authorization checks fail
Just found what was the problem. Importing XAR, as Import-Export page of Admin Guide documents, alters rights: At this stage your rights might have been changed as the import may have imported different rights. You may need to log out and log in again. Problem is that log out and then log in solution for some reason doesn't work for user previously authenticated/created over kerberos. I believe this is because user is not being updated/synchronized after it has been created using AppServerTrustedKerberosAuthServiceImpl. My solution, with clean/fresh xwiki (database), was to access xwiki first with kerberos disabled (either in xwiki configuration, or just temporarly adjust browser, in my case firefox, not to trust xwiki service), then import initial content as not-logged in user, then reenable kerberos, and finally try accessing xwiki - upon that user will be created and it will have appropriate access rights. Not sure how, but I believe AppServerTrustedKerberosAuthServiceImpl should be altered to better handle this situation. Other issue with xwiki.authentication.createuser=ldap not binding/searching well for user details is still present - would be nice to have it fixed. Mentioning of authkerb.jar in Authentication page of Admin Guide should be removed, it's not needed and might be misleading.
