'Bad credentials' error after a call to the lockSe

anweber — Wed, 24 May 2006 08:38:44 GMT

Hello, I try a little test with a sandalone java application. I obtain an exception of type "Bad credentials" after having called some API services. It occurs just after a first call to the lockService. Some times ago, I already met the same situation after a call to checkOutCheckInService.getWo

You have found a small bug. A method is missing from the service security context definitions.

Find and edit the file "public-services-security-context.xml" and search for the section starting with this line:


<bean id="LockService_security" class="net.sf.acegisecurity.intercept.method.aopalliance.MethodSecurityInterceptor">
‍‍‍

now add this line to the list in the <value> element:


org.alfresco.service.cmr.lock.LockService.getLocks=ACL_NODE.0.sys:base.Read
‍‍‍

Restart the server and your tests should work.

I will commit this change ready for the next 1.3 build.

Thanks,

Kevin

Thanks Kevin. It's very nice. I will test it. Please, could you also check if there is the same problem with the method "CheckOutCheckInService.getWorkingCopy()"

Andre.

No problem. I've checked getWorkingCopy() and it looks to be configured ok. What method did you call before it? As this exception case is quite confusing as it is thrown from the method call _after_ this config issue occurs.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

   After I have done the modifications in the file "public-services-security-context.xml", the problem is solved with the lockService.

   But I still have the same kind of problem with "CheckOutCheckInService.getWorkingCopy()". This problem is explained in this post : http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?t=1448#6403 .

   Many thanks for your help,

                Andre
