Re: [Hypercontent-users] CASIFY Hypercontent - issue

[tom t. <j_l...@ya...>]

Hi Alex,

I download the latest from CVS and installed it.
Also I created a simple project definition and it is
working fine.

After that I started the casifying....
I started the CAS_READ_ME document in side cas-support
I followed all but doesnt seem to work.

Well...we allready got CAS with some PAMs (JAAS). we
want to use the same authenication modules. we have a
seperate jaas.conf file(with all the PAMs listed)
similar to the jaas.properties in HC. Why are we
having jaas.properties in HC level. We do not have any
passwords in the application level. What is the
purpose of the
edu.yale.its.tp.cas.client.jaas.CASLoginModule,
How can I get around with this. I am bit confused
here.

Some of the content authors we can put inside the
existing group structure but not their passwords
within HC, but what about the online students login to
the system. uPortal we did this easily as part of the
CAS authentication we filled the template and sent
back to the uPortal (IPerson object). So that they get
listed automatically inside the group. How can we
achieve those in HC.


When it comes to the Portlet, hope you are trying to
achieve the portlet modes to facilitate HC view and
edit modes etc.
but apart from that why cant we have a tab (WebProxy)
which points to HC for authers and to edit the
content.

That means there are some webproxies to render the
contents (e..g for students) which have been edited by
authers in the other WebProxy.

Alex, Let me know whether our direction is wrong.

Thanks
