Having setup a new mysql db for the users table means I don't have the guest permissions set anymore.
Below is my security.properties with default.guest commented out since it doesn't appear to override the guest account to something I actually have in my ldap (could of sworn it use to...?) user.manager.impl=ldap ldap.bind.authenticator.enabled=true redback.default.admin=canders #redback.default.guest=archiva_guest security.policy.password.expiration.enabled=false user.manager.impl=cached ldap.config.hostname=xxxxxxxxxxxxx ldap.config.port=389 ldap.config.base.dn=OU=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ldap.config.context.factory=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory ldap.config.bind.dn=xxxxxxxxxxxx ldap.config.password=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ldap.config.mapper.attribute.email=mail ldap.config.mapper.attribute.fullname=name ldap.config.mapper.attribute.user.id=sAMAccountName ldap.config.mapper.attribute.user.object.class=user the reason for me wanting to modify the guest permissions is so I can have browse working for all my repos Cheers, Chris -----Original Message----- From: Brett Porter [mailto:br...@porterclan.net] Sent: Monday, 25 April 2011 6:18 PM To: users@archiva.apache.org Subject: Re: ldap guest user must exist ? That's still working for me, but I noticed you can't assign them any permissions while in that configuration (they'll use any previously assigned though) What is your security.properties set with?
