Ate Douma updated JS2-1258:
---------------------------
Component/s: Security
Deployment
Assembly/Configuration
Description:
The Jetspeed demo installer uses a convenient default username/password
configuration which makes it easy for end-users to get started.
However this also poses a potential security risk if some "type" of users would
blindly install this in a public accessible way, without adjusting the default
configuration.
To protect such users from hurting themselves, we must force them to make this
an explicit choice, and by default only provide a restricted (limited)
configuration.
To this end, the default/demo configuration will be changed to:
a) Require admin/manager role users to change their password on first use
To this end also only one user, admin, will be provided, the manager example
user will be dropped from the demo seed data.
b) By default disable usage of the Tomcat Manager through the
PortletApplicationManagement portlet
- no default Tomcat manager user will be pre-configured anymore in
tomcat-user.xml (JetspeedInstaller)
- in jetspeed.properties the example Tomcat Manager username/password will now
by default empty (undefined)

configuration.
To protect such users from hurting themselves, we must force them to make this
an explicit choice, and by default only provide a restricted (limited)
configuration.
To this end, the Installer will be modified to:
a) Require the installing user to specify a password for the Jetspeed Portal
admin user
b) Make enabling the usage of the Tomcat manager optional and disabled by
default
The Tomcat manager is needed by the Portlet Application Manager to
start/stop/delete Portlet Applications.
To enable the usage of the Tomcat manager, installing user is required to
specify (both) the Tomcat user name and password to be granted the Tomcat
"manager" role.
If no username/password is provided, no Tomcat user will be enabled and thus
usage of the Tomcat manager not possible.
Summary: Harden default/demo Jetspeed security configuration by
disabling usage of the Tomcat Manager and force change password on demo admin
and manager role users (was: Secure default Jetspeed demo installer
configuration requiring end user to provide admin passwords and choice of
enabling the usage of the Tomcat manager )
