Issue 243: User logins
1 person starred this issue and may be notified of changes. Back to list
 
Reported by ross.gardler, Oct 28, 2009
We will need user logins for things like user defined catalogues. However, a 
more pressing need is to have an Admin user for an install of Simal.

The admin should be the only person who gains access to the ToolsPage and 
SettingsPage since harm can be done to the installation from those pages.

Implemented basic login functionality in:

uk.ac.osswatch.simal.wicket.LoginPage
uk.ac.osswatch.simal.wicket.SimalAuthorizationStrategy

At present only the ToolsPage is protected and there are no real login accounts, just 
use "simal" for both username and password.

This implementation is deeply flawed right now, for example the authentication status 
is in a static variable in LoginPage, making it useless in a multiuser environment. 
But it's a start.

Moved classes to their own authentication package.

Created a SimalSession object that stores user data so this is now usable. We still 
don't back the system with real a user database though, so it still isn't totally 
usable.

Default admin username and password can now be set in local.simal.properties (set 
simal.web.admin.username and simal.web.admin.password).

Lowering priority and moving to a later milestone.
