Selecting Access control system

2005-02-13 Thread Thilina Anjitha
Hi,

I'm in the process of selecting a open source product to acieve the
following tasks

1) It should have a admin module to create users and groups.
2) Administrator should be able to assign different content for
different Groups and users.
3) There should be a way to authenticate the user  when logging to the
system.
4) Depending on the content setting by the admin, users should be able
to view the content.

Can you send me some available product to achieve the above tasks?

I really appreciate your help.
Thank you.
Regards,
Thilina.

Set proxy settings

2005-01-25 Thread Thilina Anjitha
Hi,

I'm try to expose the company Intranet to out side using the
Jetspeed(1.5 version). So in this case we need to set some proxy
settings. Is there any way to set these proxy settings in Jetspeed 1.5?
If so do we need to write any coding? Is it availalable in J2?

Thilina.

RE: Adding portlets for user/group

2005-01-25 Thread Thilina Anjitha
Hi Randy,

Thank you for your response. I'm using J1(Jetspeed 1.5).

1) Can you send me the URL of the J2 (for download)?

2) What is the URL of the J2 demo page?

3) Adding a portlet to a group is not possible, isn't it?

4) What do you mean by profiling features?

Thank you.
Thilina

 Thilina,
 
 Just to clarify the J2 support for portlet level security: J2 implements the
 JSR-168 portlet standard and it generally considers individual portlet
 security to be the responsibility of the portlets themselves. The portlet
 container implements access to principal and role information to facilitate
 this and J2/Pluto supports these features.
 
 J2 does not offer any additional portlet level security options at this
 time. It has been a point of discussion and J2 may do so in the future.

 Thilina,
 
 Can you clarify J2/J1 on your posts?
 
 In J2, the primary consumer of the user/role/group definitions are the
 Profiler and PageManager components. As you might of guessed, these
 select
 pages to be displayed in the portal given a request url. So, instead of
 granting access to individual portlets, you can use the profiling
 features
 and security permissions/constraints to control access to pages.
 
 AFAIK, security at the portlet level is not yet implemented in J2, but
 you
 can certainly achieve what you are looking for using the page based
 controls. Login as user/user, manager/manager, and admin/admin to the J2
 demo site to see these features in action.
 
 HTH,
 
 Randy

 Subject: Adding portlets for user/group
 
 Hi,
 
 I have created 2 groups called developers and managers. Under the
 developers group I have created tomi, sandra as users. Also I have 2
 Iframe portlets called dev guide and doc guide. My requirement is,
 developers can only view dev guide and mangers can view both portlets. 
 
 1) Can you explain how can I do this using the admin console?
 
 2) Is it possible to add portalets to a group instead of adding portlets
 to each user? Then even for newly added users can view the portlets
 which are belongs to his group.(Say that I added a new user for
 developers group. Then, without adding the new portlet for that user, is
 it possible to view dev guide portlet? or am I need to add the dev guide
 portlet to new user?)
 
 Thank you.
 Thilina.

Difference between Role and the group -Newbie questin

2005-01-24 Thread Thilina Anjitha
Hi,
I saw that, using the admin console, we can add users, roles and groups.

1) What is the difference between the Role and the Group? (I really
appreciate if you provide some sample data for roles and groups.)

2)Say that I added the following using the admin console.(logging as
admin user)
users - tomi and mike 
roles - Developer, Manager

tomi is a Developer
mike is a Manager

Developer has only view permissions
Manager has all the permissions.

So then, are these entries are permanently saved into the system?

3) Instead of creating the above users, roles etc using the admin user,
is it possible to create them by changing the corresponding psml files
manually. 

Thank you.
Thilina.

IFrame portlet

2004-11-17 Thread Thilina
Hi,
I'm developing an application which exposes the Company intranet to out
side restricted users. We can give the URL of the intranet to the IFrame
Portlet's source. I have a global IP address assigned to my machine. I
can access the intranet withing the company but i can't access it from
the out side.

So... is there any settings to be done to solve this problem?

Thank you.
Thilina.

RE: IFrame portlet

2004-11-17 Thread Thilina
Randy,

Thank you for you information and I'm using jetspeed 1.5.
I searched WebContentPortlet in the portlet browser in the admin
console, but I'm not be able to find out such a portlet object there.
And also I searched in the web, but I haven't found any thing regarding
WebContentPortlet. 
So.. can u send me some guide link about WebContentPortlet?

Thank you.
Thilina.

 Thilina,
 
 If you are using J1, there is a WebContentPortlet that you'll have to
 use since the portlet needs to proxy the intranet to the internet.
 
 I and other dev team members are going to be developing an analog for J2
 which currently lacks this capability.
 
 HTH,
 
 Randy
