Re: [xwiki-users] [XWiki 7.3] Problem with group rights

[Clemens Klein-Robbenhaar]

 Actually this looks completely as expected - in both cases. If you see request 
coming in the localhost_access_log, my guess about some javascript error is out.

The special rights for the anonymous user are stored as flags in the 
"XWiki.XWikiPreferences" object; this reuses the normal XWiki "save" action by 
POST-ing the values.
Good they are saved :)

The detailed group / user rights instead create a separate 
"XWiki.XWikiGlobalRights" in the preferences page, which contains detailed 
information about what groups/user get what right, etc)
This is saved by a separate helper template (templates/saverights.vm on the 
file system) that does ... something more complicated.
If you see no error in the UI and get back a status of 200  the helper template 
finished to do its job properly, however.


You can check what happens behind the scenes in the following page (the "object 
editor"):

   /xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=object

Can you try to check in a separate browser tab if anything changes with the 
"XWiki.XWikiGlobalRights" when you set a right in the admin
(You need to reload the "object editor" page manually after every change, it 
does not automatically update itself.)

The easiest way to check is if you create a new group first, and then only give 
it the "delete" right - this is most likely a new combination
and should create a new "XWiki.XWikiGlobalRights" visible in the object editor.

Alternatively you can check that a new page version is created at:  
/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?viewer=history


If this is happening, then the data is actually saved; the problem is actually 
why it is not properly displayed when you visit the "Rights" page again.

If this is not happening, the server refuses to store the data (very odd).


I hope we are getting closer slowly ;)

Re: [xwiki-users] [XWiki 7.3] Problem with group rights

[Iago Lluque]

Hi again,

FYI I am running XWiki in Tomcat and MySQL, clean install (not migration).

Well, I've been playing with browser console as Clemens suggested and I 
can't see any error in client side.


I think request is reaching server as I can read the following both in 
*Network tab in Firefox* and in *localhost_access_log* when I check any 
of the group rights:
/*GET* 
/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?xpage=saverights&clsname=XWiki.XWikiGlobalRights&fullname=XWiki.TestGroup&uorg=groups&form_token=F1Tx3ax0rIGsf8noimHySQ&action=allow&right=view 
HTTP/1.1" 200 7/


However, unregistered user rights (the ones below group table rights) 
are working fine! Note that I can see a different behavior in this case: 
POST instead of GET. As follows:
/*POST* 
/xwiki/bin/save/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?form_token=F1Tx3ax0rIGsf8noimHySQ 
HTTP/1.1" 204 -/


I thougth issue was related just with group rights but it happens also 
with user rights (except for unregistered ones).


If I can help you with more info just ask it!

Thanks in advance!

To me it looks like your changes are not stored on the server.
Can you see if you get any errors in the Javascript console (Ctrl-Shift-J in 
most browsers) when setting rights?

The same browser tools often have a "Network" tab. Do you see any network 
traffic there when setting rights?
(every time you click on a setting, there should be at least one bit of network 
traffic sending your changes to the server instantly)

It would be great if you could post your findings as this will help to

[xwiki-users] Antw.: Question on Jobs and context (Peter Huisman)

[Peter Huisman]

Hi Thomas,

I managed to do what I wanted. Apparently I mixed up some of the environments. 
I used the DocumentClass to get a document after I set did the setWiki() but 
that didn’t work. Once I switched to the XWikiDocument, it worked like a charm. 
I will most likely have to do some rework to have access to my components from 
a job :-)

Thanks for the help by answering my questions.

Br,

Peter

You should never use the same ExecutionContext or XWikiContext in
different threads since they are really not designed for this and you
will have weird random issue at best.

You can find a example of a component getting the current XWikiContext
and setting the current wiki id on
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-mail/xwiki-platform-mail-send/xwiki-platform-mail-send-storage/src/main/java/org/xwiki/mail/internal/DatabaseMailStatusStore.java#L73

Re: [xwiki-users] Irritating problems with rights

[Tobias Kirchhofer]

We could try to set up a „non-working“ instance by rebuilding a backup of the 
7.1 version with the old database and upgrade again looking if the effect comes 
back.

From my point if view the other issue seems to be a different problem - our 
right settings remained, his setting remains not persistent 
http://markmail.org/message/xzapsextekrsgml3

What do you think?

Thank you!
 Tobias

Thanks but that’s not going to be very useful :)

You haven’t kept a backup of the non working instance by any chance?

Is there a way for you to provide us with a zip of the original 7.1 instance 
that failed to upgrade yo 7.3 (with private data removed)?

Re: [xwiki-users] Irritating problems with rights

Hi Tobias,

What would be great is if you could use 
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Check+Security+Cache and 
give us the result. This should tell us why the permissions you have set do not 
produce any result.

Two devs have been trying to reproduce the problem to no avail so far. So we 
really need more information on your setup before the migration. Running this 
extension could help a lot too.

Thanks
-Vincent

Can you see if you get any errors in the Javascript console (Ctrl-Shift-J in 
most browsers) when setting rights?

The same browser tools often have a "Network" tab. Do you see any network 
traffic there when setting rights?
(every time you click on a setting, there should be at least one bit of network 
traffic sending your changes to the server instantly)

It would be great if you could post your findings as this will help to 
reproduce the problem.

Two threads talking about the same issue, seems like we have a problem… :(

I’ve asked the user to create a jira issue on the other thread. We’ll try to

Hi,

Hmm seems we’re having an issue with groups since this was reported by another 
user:
http://markmail.org/message/kvksivqkexmipgnc

Woud you mind creating a jira issue for this with the maximum info for us to 
reproduce?

Thanks
