[opencms-dev] Problem Installing 6.0 alpha 1&2 on WinXP

[Andreas Lemke]

Hi!

In my debugging scenario I start with the URL

http://localhost:8080/opencms/opencms/system/login

which presents me the "self-drawn" Username/Password window.

Various versions of initCmsObject with different parameter signatures are
called
during start up (before requesting a URL) and then during requesting a URL,
but never
the version with only request and response object. I saw no error exits
indicating
that maybe user permissions are missing.

> private void checkBasicAuthorization(CmsObject cms, HttpServletRequest
req,
> HttpServletResponse res)

Gets called seldomly and then never does anything, because req.getHeader
("Authorization")
always returns null. I never see the BASIC authorization dialog, only the
"self-made" as above,
so this should be normal.

Always contains "Admin".

Runs smooth, no exceptions, user/password is verify using prepared
statement, etc.

I think the login part works.

I now suspect code on the "other side", i.e. when the workplace is
displayed and filled.
Is there a source I can debug which fills e.g. the "View" combo box in the
workplace?
Or something that is done on that part which checks permissions from the
user currently logged in.

regards,
