Re: uPortal 3.0.0-RC2 Release AnnouncementHi,
Congratulations to everyone and I have a small question. I know this is a feature complete release, but is it at least possible to include the locale changer on the front unauthenticated page. Also, I don't know this is worth to file an issue, but the Sign in link in the quickstart leads to localhost, so one can not easily try this. Isn't it possible to detect the used hostname from the request? Eric Dalquist wrote: > > JA-SIG is proud to announce the release of uPortal 3.0.0 Release > Candidate 2.

Re: uPortal 3.0.0-RC2 Release AnnouncementPerhaps instructions on just how to add the locale picker to the guest
layout would be sufficient? I don't believe this is something we've ever provided in previous releases. The sign in URLs are configured in web.xml and security.properties. We will be including instructions in the manual on how to change these URLs to specify a different host name. I don't think the CAS libraries we are using can dynamically figure out the host name as they are more commonly used when the CAS server is running on a different host.

Why not file a JIRA issue, and we can look at putting it into a 3.0.1? I suspect we should really be focusing over the next few weeks on nailing testing & stability given the amount of new code involved. > Also, I don't know this is worth to file an issue, but the Sign in > link in the quickstart leads to localhost, so one can not easily try > this. Isn't it possible to detect the used hostname from the request? Hmmm... possible, but I think a possible security concern (I know on the CAS list Andrew has posted a number of times on this topic), and there's always concerns about defaulting to an insecure scenario. I think the most common scenario for the quickstart is downloading to a desktop computer, though I could be mistaken. I assume you're looking to deploy it out to a test server?

I have a quad-core server with 4GB and 15krpms sas where I run development and testing. And I have a centrino 1.7 lapop with 512mb. Of course it's better to do it on the server :) Unfortunately it was not possible for me to find where to change the Sign-in link. I changed web.xml and security properties and still nothing. I did a recursive grep and there were at least 20 locations where localhost:8080 was mentioned and I changed every one that looked relevant. I must be missing something and I don't know what. -- Join your friends and colleagues at JA-SIG 2008 - "Higher Education Solutions: The Community Source Way!"

Re: uPortal 3.0.0-RC2 Release Announcement
The sign in link on the left hand side is set to the value of the "org.jasig.portal.channels.CLogin.CasLoginUrl" property specified in the security.properties file.

Re: uPortal 3.0.0-RC2 Release Announcement
I'm going to go and document this in the manual tomorrow as I think
this has been the biggest question so far.
The two places you need to make changes are: In uportal-impl/src/main/resources/properties/security.properties -If you want to keep using the embedded CAS server you need to update the logoutRedirect.root and org.jasig.portal.channels.CLogin.CasLoginUrl properties appropriately. -If you want to use the uPortal login channel read the instructions in the "Local Only Authentication" block. In /uPortal_trunk/uportal-war/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml -Change the value of the edu.yale.its.tp.cas.client.filter.proxyCallbackUrl init-param at line 94. I hope that helps. I'll be adding a page about this to the uPortal 3 manual tomorrow. If you have any suggestions on places we should document this or provide links to the documentation that is much appreciated. One of the hardest parts for us devs is figuring out where to put what information to make things the easiest for people. Thanks for testing! -Eric Jen Bourey wrote: The sign in link on the left hand side is set to the value of the "org.jasig.portal.channels.CLogin.CasLoginUrl" property specified in the security.properties file. |

I think for such information it's best to use the first level README file. Also maybe the ant start could give info not just how to start from localhost:8080, but also how to change it. -- Join your friends and colleagues at JA-SIG 2008 - "Higher Education Solutions: The Community Source Way!"

Re: uPortal 3.0.0-RC2 Release AnnouncementYes sorry the directory is uPortal-3.0.0-RC2 and yes, after you make
changes to anything in uPortal-3.0.0-RC2 you need to run 'ant deploy-war' to redeploy to tomcat. -Eric Vangel V.
