problems creating new users
I am looking to use turbine to power my alumni website.
However, I'm running into the following problem: I build the
default application as instructed on the jakarta-turbine page.
I direct it to use hypersonic sql, and connect to a local database
on the filesystem. Everything works all well and good at first.
The problems I run into:
1) When I create another use, I can never get that user past the
login page unless i put them in the turbine_root role. I have
verified that the user is authenticated in the LoginUser action
(I put some debug statements in there). But still nothing shows.
2) I've noticed that if you have nothing in the user/password fields
in the login screen, and hit the ok button, it will show the
login page
again, but this time, it will appear inside of the default layout.
So i guess I'm wondering what i'm doing wrong. Do i have to do something
special so that a non "turbine_root" user can log in? Are these above
problems
known problems, and are there workarounds?

Maybe i'm wrong, but if your user don't have any role attached to it,
that do that...
Try to make a role to this user, and see that will go on..

Re: problems creating new users
Posted by Matthew Inger <ma...@sedonacorp.com>.
Thanks. After several hours, i finally figured this out. The second
thing is still an issue
though, though I've modified my Default.vm file to not display the
navigation menu if the
user is not really logged in. By the way, this leads me to another
point. The User.hasLoggedIn()
method returns true if the user enters nothing, and hits the submit
button. Is this intended
behavior? My isAuthorized routine now looks like:
if (user.hasLoggedIn() && user.getUserName() != null)
isAuthorized = true;
....
But it led me to a screen where the navigation controls were there, but
the content
was the login page. So i modifed Default.vm as above so that the nav
controls
weren't there.
How have other people dealt with this problem? Is it possible to have
the Login.vm
page explicitly say that it has no layout? And have it work in the
above case?
I've tried short curcuiting the layout in the SecureScreen, and
SecureAction to set
the template to null, but this doesn't seem to work in that case.
Thoughts? Suggestions....
Basically, I'm trying to create a site where there is NO anonymous
access. It is a
fraternity alumni website, and there will be sensitive information on
there, such
as contact information and so forth, that we don't want accessible to
the general
public. So I want every screen to check for a validated login before
displaying.

Look for the classes SecureScreen and SecureAction inside your app. There must
be in a package like this:
your.domain..modules.screens and your.domain.modules.actions
Inside those classes there is a function "protected boolean isAuthorized(
RunData data )", where you can define the correct
authorization policy for your app. I think I saw this info in a HOWTO in the
jakarta site, but I can't remember which one right now. I hope this helps...

Look at SecureScreen.java.
There will be checked if the user have the right permissions to access the
screen.
