How-to to add group restrictions in 1.8.3 rev 7662

[brbjr]

How do you restrict access to pages for a group.

I have tried just the group name, »test ... I cant get it to add the group...

It says:

Groups are prefixed with '»'
This is not a valid user.

I have a group setup with the Group Name 'Test' and it associates users with this group when they login. LDAP provider is active directory.

Am I doing somthing wrong or is the group restrictions not completed in the trunk?

Don't type the special character, just type the group name. The » character is only used to differentiate usernames and groups. The autocomplete will show you the groups; click the group.

I have setup a test site at http://deki.selfip.com:81 . See if you can get it to work

Login on AD with : dekiwiki
password: password

I have setup the groups 'test' and 'test2'.

dekiwiki is in the group 'test2' group 'test2' has been added to the role 'Admin'

you have outdated bits, look at the exception thrown for http://deki.selfip.com:81/@api/deki/groups

I ran a SVN checkout with TorttoiseSVN on https://dekiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net...wiki/trunk/web

and then installed...

Did I do somthing wrong.

You need to rebuild the C# bits (Dekihost) - we commit binaries to SVN, but they are only rebuilt when we issue a release.

Downloaded the src and compiled it with vs.net 2005 and placed the new dll's/files in the web bin dir. Restarted dekihost. Now I get the autocomplete groups. But when I click 'add user or group', i still get 'This is not a valid user'.

Thank you for your help.

PHP attempts to validate the group, but your API seems to be throwing this error: http://deki.selfip.com:81/@api/deki/groups/=test
