|
|
I am trying to integrate TrackStudio with the Confluence Wiki, but I am running into authentication problems.
The first problem was the SSL, which was solved by adding the TS server certificate to the keystore on the Confluence server.
The second problem is TS authentication...
In Confluence, the syntax is simple:
| Code: | {rss:url=InsertURLhere}
{rss:url=https://tsserver/TrackStudio/task/75/rss/402881850aa7444c010aa800d64302ea}
| This one doesn't work - it only shows
"rss: The RSS macro is retrieving an HTML page."
but the content never shows up.
If you insert it as a URL, it will open correctly in MSIE 7 and show the RSS
| Code: | | [https://tsserver/TrackStudio/task/75/rss/402881850aa7444c010aa800d64302ea] | However, if I am not logged into TS, it requires me to get past the TS login window before I can see the RSS.
1. How do I create a RSS feed that does not require authentication?
2. If I can't do #1, how do I authenticate through the RSS URL?
IMO, there is a need to anonymous access for RSS, and authentication should not be required until you follow one of the links into TS. _________________ Lars Fosdal, IST International Software Technology |

Currenlty, TrackStudio doesn't support anonymous logins, because it require some user to get locale, timezone, permissions, etc.
But TrackStudio can store user session id in cookies - this means that if logged in TrackStudio before - he/she can access page without login. _________________ Maxim Kramarenko (mailto: maximkr@trackstudio.com)

The problem here is that it is the Confluence JSP application that retrieves the RSS, and not the actual user.
Is it possible to "plant" a cookie on that server to make it work? _________________ Lars Fosdal, IST International Software Technology |

Can I get a session ID URL when the TS server is set up to use cookies?
Would switching away from using cookies be a potential security problem?
(pasting URL's into mails with sessionid,etc)
Edit: nvm - didn't look at the soap response. _________________ Lars Fosdal, IST International Software Technology |
