auto create users

[Bogdan Ghidireac <bo...@ecstend.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to setup Slide (cvs version) to auto create users if they do not
exist. I added <auto-create-users>true</auto-create-users> to Domain.xml but
Slide was complaining about a transaction that is not started whenever a new
user is about to be created.

I looked at the code and I added few lines to SecurityImpl.java that started
and committed the transaction (I attached a patch if anyone is interested).
Now I can create the users but the default objectnode class is
slideroles.basic.UserRoleImpl and in Domain.xml I can see that the users
(root, john, john2) have org.apache.slide.structure.SubjectNode as class
name.

I changed <auto-create-users-role> to use
org.apache.slide.structure.SubjectNode but I have to modify Domain.xml by
hand and to add the generated users to a default role (/roles/user for
example).

I think <auto-create-users-role> is quite confusing. In my mind here it
should be a role not a class and all created users to be of class
org.apache.slide.structure.SubjectNode.

Maybe I do not understand the security correctly and that's why I want to
know if there is another way to auto create a user and put him in a default
role.

Thanks,
Bogdan

same problem. I also used the auto-create-users flag.

Bogdan, unfortunately I can't open your attachment.
could you post it again?
