Hi guys,
I have been able to port my existing portlets to Jetspeed 2.1.3 thanks to
Ate and you guys. However I still have 2 problems.
1. I cannot use the existing users. They can login to the system but not be
able to load the portlet application menus they have access to. When I add a
new user it works fine. The user can access and work on the pages he has
access to. What should i do? To remove all the existing users and add them
once again is a lot of work.
There must be something "lost" in the database connecting the users to their
roles and/or privileges.
As I remember this portal uses custom (Oracle) scripts/triggers to synchronize (part of) the Jetspeed security model to
separate tables which are then leveraged by a custom privileges service.
Maybe during the update some part of the connecting data/references were
accidentally lost?
I suggest taking one of the old users which now no longer seem to have the proper access and check in the security
(user/role) portlets as well as the custom privileges portlet what their current configuration is.
In the end, everything comes from the database, so if something seems to be broken here for old users while for new
users it does work fine, it must be data/database related, not a problem with the (Jetspeed) Java code itself.
2. With the old system I could add user attributes like Surname, First name,
Middle name etc. by using the attributes user.name.family, user.name.given
and user.name.middle in the portlet application detail. The attributes
Surname, First name etc will then be displyed on the User Detail portlet.
It seems not to work anymore. What am I doing wrong? Has there been any
changes?
Can someone help?
Don't you see the Attributes Tab on the User Detail Portlet?
If not: go to edit mode (pencil icon in the top right corner) and select the "Show
Attributes Tab" and save
Note: the default settings on the edit mode page all come with default values
from the j2-admin portlet.xml
Possibly we had a reverse (default) preference setting with the 2.0-M3 version (I don't recall anymore) which could mean
your current preferences (as stored in the database, no longer using the default values) might have the reverse meaning
still. Changing it on the edit mode page should allow you to enable the Attributes Tab again.
HTH,
Ate

Fred
