Sorry, snesbitt, won't be able to help you on this one yet.

[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - JAAS using LDAP and DB
Howdy, I'm trying to configure my portal with both LDAP and DB. Ideally I want the default users and roles (admin and user) to live in the database bundled with portal. I also need to authenticate users with an existing LDAP without trying to write anything to the LDAP. I've been reading through the JBP reference guide, particularly Chapters 15 and 16, but can't seem to wrap my head around how it all fits together. I've found some good threads on this forum, but once again, no amount of reading seems to help me figure out what's going on. So, I have two quick questions. 1) Will it be possible to assign roles in the DB (namely User) to users authenticated with the LDAP, without modifying the LDAP? I think that synchronize module will help with this but I'm confused by the options. 2) Can anybody point me towards some good introductory JAAS docs? I can't seem to find anything that explains it concisely and accurately. I'm thinking that my problems with configuration come from not understanding JAAS well enough. Thanks for any help. --Andrew View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4070098#4070098 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=4070098 ___ jboss-user mailing list jboss-user@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jboss-user

[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Re: my own hibernate mapping
k3nnymusic, I know where you stand. Hard to be patient when deadlines are coming. However, Thomas has some good advice about taking things one at a time. Take the agile approach and do some spiking. The lessons are invaluable. If you do need a reference other than official documentation look at some of the simpler portlets on portletswap.org. Some of them are massive, but there are some smaller ones that show elegant (from what I've seen thus far) integration of different technologies. In this particular case (understanding hibernate), the Contacts Portlet helped immensely. Between looking at that code and scanning/reading the hibernate documenation I managed to cleanly do what was needed.

[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Memory Leak
I've noticed a slight memory leak when coding a portlet using hibernate. Every time I redeploy my portlet about 2Mb more memory is being used by the JVM. I was using the ContactPortlet from portletswap as a reference, and found that this also had a memory leak of a smaller size (about .5Mb per deploy). I did try some non-hibernate portlets and didn't notice any leaks. I will also try the same set-up on my linux box when I get home to see if I can eliminate Apple's JVM as a problem causer. Due to the nature of memory leaks, I'm having difficulty pinpointing what is causing the problem and seeing if anyone has heard of such problems or can recommend some ideas for testing (new to J2EE, so perhaps I'm forgetting some critical method call upon destruction).

Possibly related: The portlet spec says something about disallowed HTML tags.
I believe head and body were among them.
Is this relevant when using JSP?
Maybe dispatcher.include("myJSP.jsp") parses those tags out when returning
control to the portlet.

[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Expanded Programmatic Security
I'm attempting to write a portlet that has some additional internal security features. The overall goal will be to allow selected access to MBeans on a remote server (for the time being the goal is to restart foreign JVMs on a WAS 5.1 AS). At any rate, I was hoping to make the security checks internal to the portlet based on a user's JBP roles. In doing so, I have set up portlet.xml with the following: . . . | | MyPortletUser | User | | | MyPortletAdmin | Admin | | . . . With this setup, I can programmatically check if a user is part of a particular group with isUserInRole() for either of the two listed roles. My curiosity is if the roles that I use inside the portlet are strictly defined by the contents of this descriptor. Would it be possible to test against some other role-name, without editing the descriptor?

Two things tripped me up when I was starting on this. First make sure to put the security-role-ref stuff into your portlet.xml. You can find the details about this in the section 20.3 of the portlet spec. Also, make sure to use the actual role names, not the displayed ones. The defaults are Admin and User. If you ever get confused about these again and you have access to the underlying database, spit out the contents of the jbp_roles table.

Not sure of the specific answers, but the API lists some methods for javax.portlet.RenderRequest that may help. In particular, it has inherited the following methods from javax.portlet.PortalRequest: getAttribute() getParamater() getPreferences() getProperties() I get those 4 types confused on a regular basis, but the JSR168 spec does well to straighten me out. Regardless, I believe that window properties can be accessed using one of those methods.

| System.out.println("Administrators");
| else if(request.isUserInRole("Users"))
| System.out.println("Users");
| else
| System.out.println("user is in an unknown role");
|
The final else clause catches everything, no matter which account logs in.
I've tried this in many different ways, changing capitalization and whether or
not there is an 's' on the end. Nothing has worked so far.
Is there something I'm missing in the XML configs?

[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Unaccessable Instance
Howdy, I've been playing around with JBoss Portal for a few days to become familiar with the environment, before I start developing some portlets. I have run into a slight snag that I haven't been able to remedy. Using the admin account I set a HelloWorld portlet instance with the view permission for only the role User. This immediately stopped the administrator from viewing the instance for both the dashboard or administrating. I would like to be able to re-access this instance to either modify permissions or destroy it. Some recursive grepping of the instance name led me to $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/data/portal/hypersonic/database.script.
