]
Ate Douma updated JS2-1258:
---------------------------
Description:
The Jetspeed demo installer uses a convenient default username/password
configuration which makes it easy for end-users to get started.
However this also poses a potential security risk if some "type" of users would
blindly install this in a public accessible way, without adjusting the default
configuration.
To protect such users from hurting themselves, we must force them to make this
an explicit choice, and by default only provide a restricted (limited)
configuration.
To this end, the default/demo configuration will be changed to:
a) Require demo admin user to change the password on first use (for all demo
variants, some already have this but not yet all)
b) Access to the PortletApplicationManager j2-admin page will be further
restricted to admin role user only (currently restricted to managers)
b) By default disable usage of the Tomcat Manager through the
PortletApplicationManagement portlet
- no default Tomcat manager user will be pre-configured anymore in
tomcat-user.xml (JetspeedInstaller)
- in jetspeed.properties the example Tomcat Manager username/password will now
by default empty (undefined)

To this end, the default/demo configuration will be changed to:
a) Require admin/manager role users to change their password on first use
To this end also only one user, admin, will be provided having the admin and/or
manager role; the example manager user will no longer have the manager role
through the demo seed data.
b) By default disable usage of the Tomcat Manager through the
PortletApplicationManagement portlet
- no default Tomcat manager user will be pre-configured anymore in
tomcat-user.xml (JetspeedInstaller)
- in jetspeed.properties the example Tomcat Manager username/password will now
by default empty (undefined)
> Harden default/demo Jetspeed security configuration by disabling usage of the
> Tomcat Manager and force change password on demo admin and manager role users
