Hi

I have to concern to address i am using OpenKM ver 4.1 and making it connect to Mysql Locally now i have a few issues here -:

1. Password Policy -: Is there some way to force the users to change thier password upon log on, or is it possible to integerate a seperate database which is like a web service and which already has the users log in and passwords, and will implement the web services password poilcy?

2. Deletion -: Now if this is being used in organization, the users shldnt be able to delete files at all, that is even if the user has read/write permissions they shldnt be able to delete files, i know there is another work around for this by locking the file, however if the user unlocks the file then the file can be deleted. Is there some way of removing the deletion part itself?

If you could help me out in these cirumstances it wld be great

Password policy is implemented in OpenKM 5.0

Delete grant and UI profile configuration is on version 5.0.

Consider still maintaining in 4.1 until we release 5.0. Stable, next week we'll release 5.0. RC1 I think next it'll be the stable

thanks Jillort could you tell me if it is possible to make openKM ver 4.1 to connect to an external database or web service to authenticate users rather than adding them from admin mode, since in an organiztion if there are abt 300 emp whom want to use it, it will be very cubersome and time consuming to add all the employees, is there a way just to make it connect to a webserivce and apply roles to them?

yes it's possible connecting user poll from external database must be done changing jboss-login.xml to login

But for getting users and roles in UI i needed to make some minimal java class like DatabasePrincipalAdapter.java, in version 5.1 we could include as sql query params in OpenKM.cfg, really it's very easy doing it.

So do you suggest me waiting for 5.1 release or shld i try it with openKM 4.1. in jboss-login.xml, if so please give me a little heads up on how to do this. Because i am not able to find this file in OpenKM 4.1..

In version 4.1 is mandatory you create some java class, take a look here:

And you'll need configure development IDE

Hi Jillort whenever i follow your first link i am asked to login, is this something only the developers can do? becuse i am also unable to locate from where to download the source code.. Any suggestions on this, and also please let me know when you are planning to release the stable version of OpenKM 5.1, because if these changes are implemented in 5.1 i can wait for it.. Please do suggest me what to do...

I see 5.0 Beta on the homepage is this the same as 5.1 Beta?

5.1 beta still not exist, we're actually developing on trunk 5.1, but we've not released yet, first we might release 5.0 RC1 ... until stable 5.0 and then more later some 5.1 beta. We considering enhancement in 5.0 are closed and only working on making it stable. All new enhancement will be in 5.1, that's the idea.

Thanks could you let me know when is the release planned for 5.0 RC1...

this week. We was planning for last friday and this monday, but we've still making some test in order to release a more acceptable RC1.

Thank you so much, could you also please let me know what password policy has been implemented for this release.

I don't understand the exact meaning of your question. How passwords are stored in database ? or you're refering about minimal password lenght etc... when user changes passwords ?

See you had said in one of your earlier posts that Password policy is implemented in OpenKM 5.0.. By this i meant to ask what policy is implemented??? Is the user forced to change the password upon log on?? or is the user forced to changed his password after a certain period of time like 3-4 months, this is for security concerns which are being raised by other departments from the organization.

OK,

Take a look here http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Applic ... figuration look for validator password.

The force reseting password is still on our roadmap.
