>                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBDS-1110
>             Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
>          Issue Type: Thirdparty Change
>            Reporter: Nick Boldt
>            Assignee: prakash aradhya
>            Priority: Critical
>
> 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 two 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.
> d) 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.
