[Jeff Sexton]

Is either LDAP or container (Tomcat) authentication/login possible with 
Jetspeed 1.5?
Thanks

Wierd.  Yes this is the same for me also - it works from the security tab.
I never even tried that!  I've been editing the database by hand for
weeks!

Thanks for the tip!

Terminal Portlet

[Jeff Sexton]

Is anyone using, or know of, a portlet that can do vt, 3270 and/or 5250
terminal emulation?

Thanks

I restarted Tomcat and that did indeed clear out the deleted user from the
list.  The links on the user browser still don't work though, but the
messages in velocity.log are slightly different.  I guess I'll try
removing and re-adding users.

I notice now that it has that exact string ("$!user.FirstName") in the
database firstname field for a user.  I don't know how that happened.  I
deleted the record, but the user browser still behaves the same way.

But maybe strings containing '$' or '!' create a problem?  I noticed too
that a user used those character and a '@' in their password.  Is
something trying to parse these possibly?

Ok, I'm baffled.  I deleted the user from turbine_users with the database
utility, and I deleted the psml/users/...  directory.  But the user still
shows up on the user browser tool.  Is this information cached?  Is a
Tomcat restart required?

Thanks

Not a peep.  And I have no other symtoms.  It's working perfectly
otherwise.

User-browser broken? How to access user data?

[Jeff Sexton]

I need to access user data to remove a login.  Is there a way to do this
without using the user browser?  I did a fresh and clean install of
Jetspeed 1.4b4 on Redhat 8 with j2sdk1.4.1 and still nothing works on
admin's user browser tool.

How do others access this information?  Any tips on this?  Thanks

Problems with user-browser, 1.4b4

[Jeff Sexton]

I've discovered that all the links (all of them) on admin's user-browser
screen are broken.  They all simply reload the same page.

There's some messages in velocity.log, below. I'm using Jetspeed 1.4b4.
Any advise on this?  Thanks!

JSP Stock Portlet Sample

[Jeff Sexton]

When I first began working with the 1.4b4 version, the JSP stock portlet
sample worked fine.  A couple of weeks ago, it started failing.  I haven't
touched it, I was working on my own components.  I sort of hoped it would
just start working again on it's own.  The top few lines of the exception
are below.

Anyone know what's going on?  Thanks.

Yes, I tried that too.  I'll try it again after a version or two has past.
For now squid works just fine.

Setting the CATALINA_OPTS environment variable will cause everything to be
forwarded to a proxy server.  Set it before starting the servlet engine,
and Jetspeed will use your proxy server.  That's all I know about it,
unfortunatly.

And unfortunatly for me, the use of a proxy server via CATALINA_OPTS seems
to be an all or nothing option.

Also, you might search the archives for this email list, you'll find some
descriptions of CATALINA_OPTS and proxies.

I spent a lot of time on this.  You are supposed to be able to set an
environment variable to control this, CATALINA_OPTS, to, for example:

-DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=[hostname] -DproxyPort=[port#] -nonProxyHosts=[hosts]

nonProxyHosts are supposed to be separated with a '|'.  For example, I
used:

-nonProxyHosts=*.odshp.com|localhost

This doesn't work however.  The proxy settings do work, but then you don't
get internal sources.  If you take the proxy settings out (no
CATALINA_OPTS)  then you get internal sites of course, but nothing that
must be proxied.  I tried this with various versions of Tomcat, Jetspeed
and java.  My solution ultimately was to point Jetspeed at a squid server
as a proxy, then use the squid server to control which requests went to
the firewall.  That worked fine.  Squid is quite easy to setup, even if
you have not used it before.
