Engineering Systems does not maintain this system in any way. The manager of this dept has answered definitively they are not responsible for it. Perhaps you can work with Prakash to help communicate back to us the proper channels to the host's rightful administrator. Best Regards, Matthew Mosesohn

reconfigure .htaccess rules for devstudio.jboss.com --------------------------------------------------- Key: JBDS-1110 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBDS-1110 Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio) Issue Type: Task Components: updatesite Affects Versions: 3.0.0.CR3 Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: prakash aradhya Priority: Critical Fix For: 3.0.1.GA Problem ----------- Currently we host update site files and some Early Access (EA) JBoss Dev Studio (JBDS) installers (.jar) on http(s)://devstudio.jboss.com. Everyone using the site shares the same access, which is somewhat painful for several reasons: a) No one can "discover" what's on the site because the root folder is restricted. b) EA users and existing registered JBDS users may not be the same folks; in fact, we may want to provide *FREE* EA access to encourage people to try-before-buy the forthcoming JBDS release, independent of possibly being an existing subscriber. c) Each annual release of JBDS gets a year of updates, but only for the product for which they subscribed; thus each year's update site should be differently restricted rather than using the shared across-the-board login. Ideally, username/password restriction would be fed by information in the CSP so that users would only need a single login, which would expire the minute their subscription expired, rather than using shared passwords via .htaccess; however, that requires significantly (?) more effort than the solution proposed below. Solution ----------- a) remove .htaccess username/password restriction for these folders: http://devstudio.jboss.com/ http://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/ http://devstudio.jboss.com/earlyaccess/ b) add .htaccess username/password restriction for these folders: http://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/2.1/ (use existing username/password) http://devstudio.jboss.com/updates/3.0/ (create new username/password) http://devstudio.jboss.com/earlyaccess/builds/ (use existing username/password + create second new username/password) I will send the current login details & proposed new ones along in an email to helpdesk@ so that they're not copied publicly here. Note that JBDS 3.0 is scheduled to be released March 10, and we need to get these changes in place before then.
