Documentation on security

[Vladimir Simjanoski <vl...@gmail.com>]

Hello!

First, congratulations to all developers working on Jetspeed2 
implementation.
I don't have that much time to dive into the source code as I would like to, 
but just by checking 
the CVS Head from time to time, I can always see an improvement...

I know that all of you are working hard on your goals, but can you tell me 
more about your
plans for improving (finishing?) the security documentation. I'm sure 
there're plenty of
us developers who'd appreciate very much if they have some know-how to jump 
quckly on it.

Are there any plans to implement some portlets that enable user 
customization 
(choosing between layouts, adding/removing portlets from page...). Perhaps 
I'm missing them :)

Just by looking at the mailing list I can see that Jetspeed2 covers a lot of 
technologies. 
The main reason everyone is not recognizing that this is an excellent 
framework is the
missing entry-level documentation.

Regards,
Vladimir

I am in the same problem, need to change all the login (authentication,
autorization, and users manager) and still cant make it.
I  thinks a good start its to reimplement the Manager Clases (UserManager,
etc) the SecutiryAcces, and the UserClases, but i get in other trouble,
witch data of the users must the Manager resturns.
*1)In the default configuration of j2, the user/roles/groups, are store in
the same table, that is one of the things than i need to change.
*2)Other thing, is the uer data, i need to managetr about 1000 users, and
need a more eficicent way to store and retribve each one.
*3)The last thing, is the roles and groups.

For *1 i change the implemetation of the UserManager in the pipeline, but y
see that there isnt the only place where the j2 retrive users, threse is
another class SecurityAcces.
So .. this is wat ir learn ... afeter see the login process. If you know
more information, or tip, or anything, please let me know

Thanks
Santiago

I'd like to know all the possibilities that Jetspeed2 offers in the security
area.
Right now, I'm particularly interested in overriding the default login
authentication,
but couldn't find time to take a detailed look...

Glad to hear that. Are there any plans for the next milestone?

Yes, absolutely. I'm planning to spend more time with Jetspeed2
in the months to come, so I'm sure I'll have something to share with the
others.

Exactly what aspect of security are you referring to... login 
authentication, user roles/groups, PSML constraints
and/or permissions?

Just in case you missed it, there's now a portlet in the
HEAD CVS of Jetspeed 2 that enables to select a new portlet to add
to a page committed by David.
Removing and moving portlets on a page is already implemented for the
default layout.

The last missing feature right is to allow changing/customizing layouts.
