Jetspeed Authorization: msg#00058

Subject: Jetspeed Authorization

We are in the process of trying to integrate Jetspeed2 with OpenSSO for both
Authentication (SSO) and Authorization. We have been successful in the
authentication piece, but I have not been able to figure out how to switch out
the authorization piece.

We are trying to get Jetspeed2 to delegate authorization checks for a portlet
action (View, Configure etc.) to OpenSSO before the portlet is rendered on the
page. In the process of analyzing the code, I was able to make certain changes
to the org.apache.jetspeed.security.impl.SecurityAccessControllerImpl class in
the checkPortletAccess() method. This however, causes the portlet to be visible
or not visible while adding it to the page. Once the portlet is added to the
page, control no longer comes to this method. Which means that access to the
portlet cannot be turned off in openSSO.

I have a feeling that I am barking up the wrong tree here. Could anyone point
me in the right direction to look?
