CWRC Writer - Islandora authentification issue

[ilovan]

From @mpm1 's email:

"By the looks of this, I think this may caused by miscommunication of where the user provides their login credentials.

Using the function cD.initializeWithCookieData(null) assumes that some other service has authenticated the user and created the required cookies. This would be the case if the writer is embedded into islandora and can only use the write after they have logged in.

The function cD.initializeWithLogin(username, password) allows you to pass in the username and password. This would allow the system to initialize based on some sort of example user account or pass in information provided somewhere else on the page.

I recommended to Andrew to use the cD.initializeWithCookieData(null) function because at the time I assumed that the user would have already logged in through Islandora. I think in the case of the demo pages it may be best to create some sort of demo user and call the function cD.initializeWithLogin using that users login information or have some sort of login page."

This is a high priority bug to be fixed, if possible, before the Hamilton College demo on Friday.

Currently using the test user. See: https://github.com/cwrc/CWRC-Writer/commit/51b3ed86c04edb968ef3970df164404412ccf6e7

Andrew, is this in the TEST version of the CWRC Writer? Can I try it out now?

Yes.

Still not working; I created an organization entity and this is the ref URL I got: http://cwrc-dev-01.srv.ualberta.ca/islandora/object/undefined

When I went inside Islandora and checked the login report, I got the following error message:

CWRC-WriterTestUser has the same privileges as mark_test and, when masquerading as CWRC-WriterTestUser I can modify the objects in the entity collections from the Islandora interface.

@mpm1, could you please assist @ajmacdonald with this issue if it is connected to the authentication changes we made recently? We are under a rather tight deadline for a demo this Friday.

I gather that there's been no movement on this. I get an authorization error message when I try to create one. I'll just have to explain that it's broken.

@ilovan is this fixed now?

If the CWRC-Writer is opened from the same server hosting the CWRC entities and the user is actively logged into the CWRC repository in the same browser then yes.

If the aim is to allow the standalone version of CWRC-Writer (unassociated with CWRC-Repository, living on a different server but still able to create CWRC entities) then this would need a mechanism to enter user credentials like the NERVE tool.
