CMS Adminnistration for Guest User

[tinico]

Hi,

For a demonsrtration to my compani, I need to access to the portlet CMS administration without any authentification (uncheked user)...

But, when I try this, I've a "Access Denied" message on the portlet. Can you tell me how can I do that... I've tried to change the "jboss-portal.sar\portal-cms.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml" file, but I think it not enought.

On the documentation, thay speak about "CMS Security Console"... Where can I find it ?

Thank you !!

tinico-

Start with a fully fresh portal (including database) and in the CMS service configuration use this as the policy: inside jboss-service.xml file

<policy>
 <criteria name="path" value="/">
 <permission name="cms" action="manage">
 <role name="Anonymous"/>
 </permission>
 </criteria>
</policy>

This should give you access to functions in the CMS Admin tool as a "not logged in" (Anonymous) user.

Thanks

Thank you for your answer... But it don't work...

I remove all tables, and I restart with your policy and now, anybody have access to the CMS... Neither admin and user and "Anonymous"... It's likely that "Anonymous" wasn't known as group !!!

I don't understand ! Have you any ideas ?

bahhh...You are correct. This is definitely a bug. If have created a corresponding JIRA to fix it.

Details are here: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1997

Unfortunately there is no workaround till this issue is resolved, so you will have to do your demo in non-Anonymous mode.

Thanks
