Enable /login/rpc

[simon04]

I would like to test/use the Trac integration with IntelliJ (​http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/tasks_and_context.html) which requires https://josm.openstreetmap.de/login/rpc to access tickets.

Would you please give me (or all commiters or registered users) the XML_RPC permission (​http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/XmlRpcPlugin).

Thanks!

Done.

If you manage to get it work let me know, I tried to use it from my Sonar instance, without success, I always have this problem:

Although I'm sure the user account has the required permission. But maybe that's a sonar bug that don't use the correct user account, I don't know.

Same problem here: Now I'm able to access https://josm.openstreetmap.de/login/rpc, but every operation results in XML_RPC privileges are required to perform this operation. You don't have the required permissions.". Are there further user permissions required?

[Don-vip]

looks like we need another plugin:

​http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/HttpAuthPlugin

​http://trac-hacks.org/ticket/1033

No need for that. authentication can be defined in Apache config.

[simon04]

What about enabling RPC for everybody?

[Don-vip]

We should try first to make it work for us :) I tried to play with various config files for these plugins without success for now. Maybe it's our Apache config that messes up, I will look again :)

[simon04]

My hope was that it might be easier to enable for all users because "XML_RPC privileges are required" then would be given to anyone. But since I'm unaware of Trac' and JOSM server's internals, I'm fine with your proceeding. :-)

[Don-vip]

Changed my mind, enabled it for everyone. I hope it won't increase server load. If it does, we'll see to define a better authentication.

[simon04]

Have there been some changes recently? I get XML_RPC privileges are required to perform this operation. You don't have the required permissions. again …

[simon04]

Any update on this? I used this feature in IntelliJ to avoid wrong ticket references in commits.

I have not followed this in the past, but I changed the server config now, so that "/login/" (note the ending slash) requires HTTP-Basic-Authentication (i.e. username/password) in case of https usage (no special handling for HTTP!). That allows to access these page(s) without previous web-based login form filling, but should keep that trac auth cookies also when you leave /login/ path as long as session cookies are stored. An useraccount with XML_RPC permission is required (should be available for every user after login).

Is that what was wanted?
