To secure a KnowWE(JSPWiki) installation, you have to edit two files:
- jspwiki.properties:
- at the very bottom uncomment the line jspwiki.approver.workflow.saveWikiPage=Admin to enable the forced approval of new user accounts by an admin. (Make sure there is an 'Admin' group)
- make sure the option allowHTML is set to false
- jspwiki.policiy: comment the permissions of 'Anonymous' to disable anonymous editing before:
grant principal com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.authorize.Role "Anonymous" {
// permission com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.permissions.PagePermission "*:*", "modify";
// permission com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.permissions.WikiPermission "*", "createPages";
};
- Install.jsp: Make sure that the file Install.jsp is deleted from the root folder of the web application.
- Default Admin Account: Be sure to change or deactivate the default admin account, before you go online. The password is published on this website! User FAQ
After that, restart the container and the wiki is secure.
