Stefan Frerich commented on JS2-21:
-----------------------------------
It seems that a solution to this issue was close at hand in Dec 2005. Is there currently any work in progress?
@Ate: Could you provide more detailed information, what the problem was in your last fix? Thanks in advance!
> Missing Security Feature: Check roles assigned to any group to user belongs
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JS2-21
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-21
> Project: Jetspeed 2
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Security
> Affects Versions: 2.0-FINAL
> Reporter: David Le Strat
> Assigned To: Ate Douma
>
> Reported by Ate Douma:
> o.a.j.security.impl.RoleManagerImpl.isUserInRole() implementation is
> missing a required feature.
> A User can be part of a Group which can have Roles just like the User itself.
> The isUserInRole() method currently only checks if the specified role is assigned to the user, not if it is assigned to one of the groups the user belongs to.
> The Role definition in Servlet 2.3 SRV.12.4 (which according to portlet PLT.20.2 also applies for portlets) specifies that a user is in a specific role either when assigned directly to the user or
> when assigned to a group the user belongs to.
> Thus according to this definition the RoleManagerImpl.isUserInRole()
> should also check the roles assigned to any group to user belongs to.
