How to install the Java RSSE page-level security application
BIRT iHub Integration Technology contains an example of how external page‑level security works using Java RSSE in the subdirectory, Page_Security_Example. For information about Actuate BIRT design page‑level security, see Using Actuate BIRT.
To install the page-level security sample application on BIRT iHub, deploy an external ACL file with the application. Perform this operation before enabling the web service on the Encyclopedia volume.
To include the ACL file provided with the sample application in the build, perform the following operations:
1 Copy the file, user.acls, located in the Page_Security_Example directory to the following location:
/com/actuate11/rsse/aclSample
2 Using a source code editor, in Page_Security_Example directory, open the file, build.xml, and perform the following operations:
1 In build.xml, navigate to the buildACL element specifying the contents of the file, rsseAcl.jar.
2 Modify the fileset list to contain the following line of code:
<include name="com/**/*.acls" />
The buildACL element looks like the following example:
<target name="buildACL" depends="buildACL.clean, compileACL">
<mkdir dir="lib"/>
<jar jarfile="lib/rsseAcl.jar">
<fileset dir=".">
<include name="com/**/*.class" />
<include name="com/**/*.properties" />
<include name="com/**/*.acls" />
</fileset>
</jar>
</target>
3 Build the application using the Apache Ant tool.
4 Copy the file, rsseAcl.jar, to the lib directory of the BIRT iHub servlet container and configure the class.properties file.
5 Configure the Encyclopedia volume to use open security as a web service.
