Thanks Boris
I have downloaded 2.1rc1 and put the two war files in one instance of
tomcat (5.5.9) on Linux Fedora Core 3. I found with trial and error that
it is best to drop the author war file in to webapps, start tomcat, let
it bootstrap, stop tomcat, add the public war and then start tomcat
again. The public war always took longer to expand and build than the
author. I also found that to build the initial repository I needed to
increase the java heep size (iXmx) and set it to 2048M. After building I
reset the size to 128 and the author environment worked, however in case
the memory size was causing problems, I increased it to 512M
Initially I renamed the war files to be catalyst and catalystAuthor but
when I was having problems I reverted to the original names to eliminate
the change.
I have changed the magnolia.root to magnoliaPublic.root in the public
web.xml and adjusted the log4j.xml file accordingly in the same
environment. I use the startup.sh script from within the bin directory.
I am accessing the two environments using IE 6.0 on an XP machine
connected via a local LAN.
In the author environment, I use superuser to create 2 website nodes all
at the same level as features. I then activated these and they were
visible in the public environment.
I then set up the role "guest" which has "read only" for "selected and
sub pages" for "/catalyst" and a user called "guest" which was assigned
the guest role. The user and the role were activated but a user
id/password dialog was not displayed for the public area and therefore
both catalyst and consultant pages are visible.
I then changed Config: server/secureURIList/0001/URI to /.magnolia and
activated 0001 and below. This caused the sign-in dialog to appear in
public but a 403 error was reported.
I then changed URI back to / but when I tried to activate 0001 again,
Magnolia threw this error:

I then restored copies of the webapps directories that I had made before
changing the server/secureURIList/0001/URI and again the public
environment showed both pages without requiring a sign-in.
I then created a role called "consultant" with "read only" for "selected
and sub pages" for "/consultant" but when I tried to press save,
Magnolia threw this exception:

At this point I started to seriously doubt the integrity of the 2.1rc1
and hence my note.
I would realy appreciate some advice on how my objectives may be
achieved
Thanks

Hi Mike,
please let us know what you try to do and we'll see what we can do
about it. 2.1 RC1 should be fine, we are using it for magnolia.info
amongst others, and I do have restricted user accounts set up that
work.
Thanks
Boris
