Claromentis 5.1 configuration

1. New searching system and so new indexing daemon.
Cla 5.1 requires new indexing daemon to be installed
Due to changed indexing, now database size is much smaller than data storage. And data storage has grown by about 50% comparing to version 5.0. I remind that previously database size was about twice larger than actual documents size.

2. LDAP/NTLM configuration
Cla 5.1 now supports multiple domains if they are within one LDAP tree and Cla is installed on Windows. Also now it's possible to have local accounts and LDAP/NTLM accounts at the same time.
Due to these changes, directory security settings are different in IIS. Now it's needed to allow anonymous access to web/intranet/ folder and only disallow it to web/intranet/login/ folder.
There are also different configuration variables in config file.NTLM and LDAP are switched on and off indepentently of each other. $NTLM_MODE has only options NTLM_NONE, NTLM_IIS and NTLM_APACHE.New variable $cfg_LDAP_enabled enables LDAP support. Prefix $cfg_ added for all other LDAP variables. See config_default.php
Enabling LDAP now requires valid LDAP account to be entered into config file. See variables $cfg_LDAP_user and $cfg_LDAP_password in config_default.php
New settings $cfg_preferred_login_method, has effect only if NTLM is enabled. Claromentis may automatically redirect users to NTLM autologon or first show them usual web form for log in and let them click "Log on using you MS Windows account". This is useful if local and LDAP users are used.

MediaWiki in Claromentis

Claromentis works well with mediawiki-1.8.2 (hm, available on the site),
however, mediawiki-1.8.3 is the security update, so it must work (i'vent checked)

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download which brings you tohttp://downloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.8.2.tar.gzhttp://downloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.8.3.tar.gz
it can work under mysql since 4.0 and php5 under apache or IIS

first, install MediaWiki in intranet/wiki directory:

====in "Database config"=====

1) check MySQL,
2) use DB name, DB username, DB password from Claromentis (specified in intranet/common/config.php)
3) set Database table prefix to something like "wiki_"

in other places - follow MediaWiki installation instructions

second, install ClaroWiki extension into MediaWiki:edit intranet/wiki/LocalSettings.php# Add to localsettings, near the end:require_once("extensions/clarowiki/ClaroWiki.php");

note about uploading images into wiki:!! this workaround doesn't work with IIS (win32)

it's helpful for codedev2you may want to move wiki/images directory to claromentis data directory and make symlink from previuos location to new locationi.e.:# mv web/intranet/wiki/images data/wiki; ln -s ../../../data/wiki/ web/intranet/wiki/images;!! this workaround doesn't work with IIS (win32) it's helpful for codedev2

Edit me in publish

Here is the example of such "edit me" link:
<div name="e_cla_editme">< a name="e_cla_editme_link" href="">Editme</a></div>

Note "name" on < a > tag. It's not required, but better to insert it sopage id is directly added into that link instead of callingedit_page_indirect.phpAnd there is on limitation. This functionality works only on intranetpages and doesn't work on any external ones - FTP or the same server.

No Access to Internal Publish Page

As I see now in code, when permissions are checked there are three variants:
1. you have rights to view page
2. you are not logged on, but page is not public
3. you are logged on, but as user that don't have rights to view that page

In these cases:
1. page is shown
2. redirect to usual login page
3. Page http://codedev2.claromentis.com/intranet/publish/access_denied.php [^] is shown. If access_denied_custom.php exists, it's shown instead of default access_denied.php

Claromentis - strange right margin when checking out page

culprit :.app_menu h2 { float:left; }
solution:
add clear div after app_menu on publish_header.html
