Hi everyone, if somebody could help with this please.
I am trying to incorporate ckeditor and ckfinder to an Asp.Net Mvc 1 project. SO far everything is working fine. The only thing I cann't get to work right is the Access Control for ckfinder.
For what I understand, in the file ckfinder/config.ascx, the variable string RoleSessionVar is used to assign the role to be restricted. The default value is:
RoleSessionVar = "CKFinder_UserRole";
I have tree roles in my project Administrators, Editors and Contributors. So in order to get my current user Role I replace it for:
string currentRole= "";
if(HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Administrators"))
{
currentRole = "Administrators";
}
else
{
if (HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Editors"))
currentRole = "Editors";
else
{
if (HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Contributors"))
{
currentRole = "Contributors";
}
}
}
RoleSessionVar = currentRole;
The variable gets assigned with the correct Role for the current user. The next part in the config.ascx file are the ACL settings. The default one are:
AccessControl acl = AccessControl.Add();
acl.Role = "*";
acl.ResourceType = "*"; acl.Folder = "/";
acl.FolderView = true;
acl.FolderCreate = true;
acl.FolderRename = true;
acl.FolderDelete = true;
acl.FileView = true;
acl.FileUpload = true;
acl.FileRename = true;
acl.FileDelete = true;
With these settings there are not any problems the ckfinder, it lists all the folders and files, but there with full permissions for everyone. I want to restrict deleting permissions to different Roles. Anyway just as a test I tried to give full permissions to Administrators' Role
AccessControl acl = AccessControl.Add();
acl.Role = "Administrators";
acl.ResourceType = "*"; acl.Folder = "/";
acl.FolderView = true;
acl.FolderCreate = true;
acl.FolderRename = true;
acl.FolderDelete = true;
acl.FileView = true;
acl.FileUpload = true;
acl.FileRename = true;
acl.FileDelete = true;
But ckfinder will not show any folder or file even though RoleSessionVar = "Administrators".
I'll be very thankful for any ligh to the solution of this problem.
