Turn on jspwiki.security=jaas, and edit web.xml. JSPWiki should be able to notice that you have done so and does all the right things. There should be no reason anymore to set jspwiki.security to anything else.

but i don't want jaas authentication..that's is why in jspwiki.properties i had assigned jspwiki.security=container and web.xml also mentioned the logical role mappings..

The problem is while attaching it is fetching for some permissions..

If you enable container auth in web.xml, JSPWiki will pick it up without declaring "jspwiki.security=container".

ok.But then why when i click for attachment it seeks permission and give null pointer exception.

Because there's a bug... Turning off JAAS security was meant to be a stopgap measure until we can get it properly integrated with container-managed security. Now it works, so there's no reason to turn off JAAS anymore.

i am like bit confused now,as our application is running pretty fine by turning off jaas n using only container authentication in 2.4.91 version.

please kindly tell me what all changes i have to do in 2.4.100 version and one more thing if i turn on jspwiki.security=jaas then i am unable to edit and whenever i try to attach any document it everytime attaching main page of application. So where all i need to change for turning on jaas. And one more thing when i do search for anything then it gives me everything in descending order and score is zero for every search result,something like this::

Page Score
