You may need to do this if for example JTrac does not start because a web-server like Apache or IIS is already running on port Remote users should be able to access JTrac over the network by using the machine name instead of "localhost" in the URL shown above. If there is a problem, it could be due to a firewall running on the machine where JTrac is installed - and you may have to reconfigure things so that for example "java.

The commands within the batch files will work unchanged as long as Java has been installed correctly i. You may need to do things like apply executable permissions to the batch files on Linux, e.

And also - unless you have "root" permissions, you may face problems starting services on port 80 etc. For security reasons, it is best that you change the default "admin" password after installing JTrac, especially if you are going to make the application accessible on a public-facing web-site over the internet.

JTrac by default will use a "data" directory that will be automatically created within the root folder "jtrac". The data directory will contain the files needed by HSQLDB the embedded database as well as hold uploaded attachments. When using JTrac in production, this is the location that you should consider backing-up on a regular basis. Note that you will need to provide values for the "mail. JTrac also supports mail servers that require authentication or secure connections using SSL.

You can refer the descriptions of the available configuration property settings available from the settings screen as shown below. If you have trouble getting e-mail to work, one of the things to watch out for is whether there is any firewall blocking the communication between JTrac and the mail server - for example you may have a firewall runnning on the machine where JTrac is installed.

It is very common for mail servers to be configured to prevent mail-relay requests from unknown applications or IP addresses so you may need to check with your mail server administrator. Session if required. JTrac is designed so that you can be up and running by just deploying the WAR file into your existing web-application server.

Note that you need a servlet 2. For example, if you have Apache Tomcat 5. X, you can either copy the WAR file into the [tomcat. JTrac saves database information and uploaded attachments into a directory on the server. This directory is logically called the "jtrac. This is great for quickly evaluating JTrac but when you actually use JTrac in production you should configure the JTrac home directory as a location that can easily be backed-up for example.

To customize the location of "jtrac. On startup, JTrac tries to detect the value of "jtrac. Note that you can choose to deploy JTrac as an exploded-war and it is not mandatory that you re-package zip the WAR file after editing "jtrac-init. For example, AccessControlled.

Authentication and one for org. However in many cases the method changed return type, which Java overloads do not support, meaning a new method name was required. The convention in Jenkins APIs is to append 2 to replacement interfaces or methods or 3 after 2 , etc.

Thus a plugin developer moving to a post-Spring Jenkins baseline has a straightforward rule for most of the changes: replace Acegi Security with Spring Security in import statements, and append 2 to method calls or overrides where required to satisfy the compiler. Early attempt to bridge Acegi Security types to Spring Security types involved using subtype relationships.

For example, org. Authentication would extend org. Authentication , so you could just use an implementation of the older interface wherever the newer interface was expected. This quickly became difficult. A more subtle problem involved covariance and contravariance in interface signatures referring to other interfaces in the API. Keeping the types distinct and offering methods to interconvert turned out to be easier to reason about. Initially a special case was made for exception types.

Since an exception can be thrown up through a call stack and caught by code anywhere, it is not possible to use interconversion methods in all cases.

The key problem is hudson. A number of places not just in core but plugins catch its supertype org. AccessDeniedException in order to recover gracefully from lack of permissions. Therefore, for compatibility, AccessDeniedException2 was initially made to implement both the Acegi Security and Spring Security versions of AccessDeniedException , and similarly for other exception types defined in Acegi Security.

Unfortunately even this caused errors:. Some plugins like sfee which implement SecurityRealm pose a special problem. When using complex features of Acegi Security, such as classes like ProviderManager which are difficult to provide compatible replacements for, these may simply require new releases built against a new Jenkins baseline and thus Spring Security. However it is unclear how users would get the new version of Jenkins and the new version of the plugin atomically even assuming they read release notes in advance : the update center lets you download a plugin update to be installed after next start, which could be timed to coincide with a core update, but you could not download a plugin update declared to require a newer core version than you currently run.

Worse, you cannot just upgrade Jenkins and immediately select the plugin update and restart again, since you would not be able to log in after the first restart if the security realm did not work!

Even assuming the timing issue is resolved, publishing new releases of all these plugins would be a significant effort. Fortunately there are not that many of them. At least in the case of the ldap plugin, it suffices to bundle acegi-security It is necessary to remove usages of BeanBuilder and switch to configuration in Java code. Simple implementations of AbstractPasswordBasedSecurityRealm , such as in the pam-auth plugin, work without modifications.

Some SSO plugins, such as github-oauth , also work without modifications. Many plugins do nothing complicated with Acegi Security types but are obliged to refer to this API to work with other parts of Jenkins. We may be able to introduce a new simplified API in jenkins. On the other hand, it would not suffice for plugins implementing SecurityRealm. Probably feasible for typical plugins, but unclear how this would work for plugins implementing SecurityRealm in general.

Learn how your comment data is processed. Philip Filename. After some research I got this working with my ICEfaces application. I'm also able to use isUserInRole method inside a backing bean. Thanks for explaining these in so much detail. Regards, Eashwaran.

Hi how did you get this working from within a backing bean? However, durring server push or new Threads this doesnt work, is there a way around this? Thanks Craig. The request can be obtained from the FacesContext's external context which is available only at request time, and not from any session context or thread that is not in request scope.

Maybe the ICEfaces gurus can help us here. Well, you can't use Acegi without the Spring Framework.
