Re: [Hypercontent-users] Hypercontent2 project

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

HyperContent 2.0 uses JAAS for authentication - you can configure your=20=

preferred authentication mechanism in jaas.properties.  You can use=20
uPortal's LocalConnectionContext to pass whatever credentials you=20
require from uPortal to HyperContent.  The JAAS LoginModule API is used=20=

to implement custom authentication mechanisms.  The current=20
implementation validates against a user file, of which I will check in=20=

a sample soon.

The current source in the hypercontent2 module will compile, as long as=20=

you put the contents of the WEB-INF/lib directory in your classpath. =20
The class "org.hypercontent.HTTPServer" is executable if the=20
tomcat-libs are in the classpath; this runs tomcat in embedded mode. =20
However, the server won't be able to do anything without some content=20
and configuration files which are not yet checked in.   I have a few=20
other high-priority items here at Columbia to look after, but I expect=20=

I'll be able to check in the content & configuration files, along with=20=

a build script, within the next few days.

Cheers,
	Alex
