Integration into a Single Sign on Solution
We are looking at Jetspeed as a possible Enterprise Portal Solution. We
have a single sign on solution that we need to integrate into Jetspeed.
Basically this solution sits infront of the web application and monitors
all traffic. It authenticates against our central user repository and then
sets an encrypted session cookie and sets the username as the Remote_User
ENV variable.
Has anyone ever done something similar? If so where should I start. Can I
have Jetspeed trust the Remote_User variable and if there is an account
matching give them their portal setup. If there is no account it will jump
them to the new account page to setup their portal??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jim

Pb with VelocityPortletAction
Posted by Alexandre Gay <ag...@sysdeo.com>.
Hello,
I try to use a Velocity portlet and redefine the VelocityPortletAction
I implement this
public class TestAction extends VelocityPortletAction {
protected void buildNormalContext(VelocityPortlet velocityPortlet, Context
context, RunData runData) throws Exception {
context.put("test", "test");
}
I also create a simple test.vm velocity template in the repository
JetSpeed\WEB-INF\templates\vm\portlets
In the xreg file exemple.xreg i note
<portlet-entry name="TestVelocity" hidden="false" type="ref"
parent="Velocity" application="false">
<classname>org.apache.jetspeed.portal.portlets.VelocityPortlet</classname>
<parameter name="template" value="customizer-portlet" hidden="true"
cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true"/>
<parameter name="action" value="TestAction"
hidden="true" cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true"/>
<url cachedOnURL="true"/>
</portlet-entry>
I can't see my portlet when i want to add it to a user
Do you have any idea???
thanks a lot
alex

Well my properties has the setting for the resource service, which is
too late.
You are right in your second advice, I just found this constructor
new TurbineConfig(String path, Map attributes, Map initParams)
giving it a try now, hoping the 3rd param will allow me to set an entry
for "resources"

I'm not sure but wouldn't you do this:
TurbineConfig config = new TurbineConfig("../webapp",
"/WEB-INF/conf/my.properties");
where my.properties overrides the resource service and includes
TurbineResource.properties?
Then again Turbine has certain essential services hardwired and I don't know
how to override these :-( Perhaps you can use another TurbineConfig
constructor and pass the parameter directly?

Guess I should clarify, Im running unit tests
But yes that works when I deploy to Tomcat.
Wondering what I have to do for unit tests to use another Resource
service...I think its configurable through Turbine just not remembering
how
Im initializing the unit test with
TurbineConfig config = new TurbineConfig("../webapp",
"/WEB-INF/conf/TurbineResources.properties");
config.init();
as in the TestLuceneSearch.java
Perhaps I should be using the HeadlessBaseTest, but I still don't see
how to override the resource service in a unit test

Yes, you need an entry in web.xml:

Yes, it was an issue, but I thought your patch in
JetspeedResourceService.java fixed it where you override all the get*
methods
Im scratching my head here trying to figure out how to get the
JetspeedResourceService's early init method called
It doesn't appear to be happening, no idea why
Im porting some code from Jetspeed 1.4b2 project, where this approach
works fine
All I need to do, AFAIK, is, in TR.p:
services.ResourceService.classname =
org.apache.jetspeed.services.resources.JetspeedResourceService
Is there any thing else needed?

I was wrong. The issue has to do with handling of non-string properties
occuring multiple times:
http://www.mail-archive.com/commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg13797.html. My
patch to this was applied but it's not in any commons-configuration
release - I had to use a snapshot of commons-configuration. Not sure if it's
an issue for you now but, eventually, it may be.

No objections, I use it all the time. I think there's a gotcha when
overriding non-string properties which requires a newer version of
commons-configuration. I'd have to look...

Any objections to making JetspeedResourcesServices the default
ResourcesService?
Seems like it should be the default.
Im adding a feature to override properties at runtime via
JetspeedResourcesServices.
Useful in production deployments, where the sys admin only works with a
subset of the Jetspeed properties
Also useful in unit tests to separate test data properties from default
deployment properties (i.e. psml and registry test data)

Solutions have been discussed on both the jetspeed-user and
jetspeed-dev lists.
The best place to start looking is in the session validator
There is now a NTLMSessionValidator class. I would use that as a
starting point
