Hi,

each function of the portal is mapped to a pipeline. So in order to change the storage - all you have to do is to modify the pipeline to use say the SQLGenerator etc.

Read the documentation. http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/developing/webapps/authentication.html

It explains this in detail (see under User Administration). Then look at the pipelines that are currently used to get a feel for how it works at the moment.

Hi again guys,

I have checked the source codes of the portal sample...

I found out that if I am to add new user or to add new roles, both task

will end up submitting forms with different parameters to this resource

/cocoon/myportal/sunspotdemo-sunriseconf

which inturn would exactly match this sitemap snippet in the process...

<map:match pattern="sunspotdemo-sunriseconf">
                
                                <map:act type="portal-auth">
                    <map:parameter name="coplet" value="administration"/>
                </map:act>
                <map:generate type="auth-conf"/>
                <map:transform src="styles/sunriseconfHTML.xsl"/>
                <map:transform type="encodeURL"/>
                <map:serialize />

Am I correct?

Now I have checked the source codes for the "portal-auth" action and the "auth-conf" genarator, and I dont think they're very easy to modify.

I hope I do not have to create our own portal genarators to use a database as a storage for user and roles.

any ideas?

thanks

the storage of the roles from xml files to a mysql database.

Can someone teach me how to do this?

im using

tomcat 4.1

sdk 1.3

c2.1 dev

thanks
