Force Anonymous Login

jiyarza_Yarza

So, How do you force the login page for anonymous users?

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Jose.

Long story: We have configured anonymous access so that we can directly link and download nuxeo documents (blob files) from an external site.

However we don't want to allow anonymous users to access the nuxeo web application, so I would like to force the login page for anonymous users. How can we achieve this?

I have played with the forceAnonymousLogin parameter, but with little success.

Hi,

How about overriding the StartupHelper ? This is done in the Social Collaboration Module and in CMF.. something like:

/**
 * Overwrite default StartupHelper to provide custom startup page.
 */
@Name("startupHelper")
@Scope(SESSION)
@Install(precedence = Install.DEPLOYMENT)
public class MyStartupHelper extends StartupHelper {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Override
    @Begin(id = "#{conversationIdGenerator.nextMainConversationId}", join = true)
    public String initDomainAndFindStartupPage(String domainTitle, String viewId) {
        String result = super.initDomainAndFindStartupPage(domainTitle, viewId);

        NuxeoPrincipal principal = (NuxeoPrincipal) documentManager.getPrincipal();

        if (principal.isAdministrator()) {
            return result;
        } else if (principal.isAnonymous()) {
            try {
                FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect(NXAuthConstants.LOGOUT_PAGE);
            } catch (IOException e) { }
            return null;
        } else {
            return dashboardNavigationHelper.navigateToDashboard();
        }
    }
}
