Question: Can you log in the adminCentral on both author and public with
the same credentials? User and password info on both have to be in sync
for the user activating content.

Betreff: Re: [magnolia-user] Can\'t activate since migration from 2.1rc3 to
2.1.5
Is there a firewall between your instances? There is an activation
log, what does it say?
nope. The two instances in fact run on the same tomcat instance.
The problem is more related to user authentication.
As far as we understand the activation protocol everything is done inside the SimpleExchangeServlet (what a name :-)). So the Activating party sends a HTTP request to the SimpleExchangeServlet on the Activatee. THe request is handled by the doGet (we see the debug output).
But before it would be dispatched to the activate(HttpServletRequest) method, it fails due to Authenticator.authenticate returns false for the request.
According to some further investigation the setActivationHeaders apparaently does not set
the "Authorization" credentials header on the Activator side, or the activatee
fails to retrieve them. This is the case why the authenticate method exits prematurely
On the other side a "browser login" works out of the box, on both the activating/activatee adminCentral.
So we are a bit clueless, since it worked very well with our 2.1rc3 version.
Maybe there is an issue with regard to Activation, which we have not defined (a
flag in the config repository. the subscriber nodes are configured well).
btw: do you guys know a decent module for tcpdump to easily get the http
headers and request details? What are you using to dump/intercept HTTP traffic?
thanks for the pointers
