Taskana is configured via a configuration file.This configuration file contains the specification of the lists of access ids (i.e. users or groups) that belong to the roles user, business_admin or admin.
The keywords to specify these roles are as follows:
| Role | Keyword |
|---|---|
| user | taskana.role.user |
| business_admin | taskana.role.businessadmin |
| admin | taskana.role.admin |
Each entry may contain a list of access ids that are separated by the '|' character. Whitespace at the begin or end of each access id is ignored. This is, as sample config may look like
taskana.role.user = group1 | group2 taskana.role.admin= Holger | admingroup1| admingroup2|admingroup3 | uid=john.doe,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com taskana.role.businessadmin=busadmgrpa|busadmgrpb | busadmgrpc
By default, this configuration file has the name 'taskanaroles.properties' and is searched in the classpath. In addition, the separator '|' is used. Both defaults can be changed by specifying the property filename and separator explicitely when creating the TaskanaEngineConfiguration via constructor
TaskanaEngineConfiguration(DataSource dataSource, boolean useManagedTransactions,
boolean securityEnabled, String propertiesFileName, String propertiesSeparator)
If in this call, either propertiesFileName or propertiesSeparator is null, the default value is used.
If for example, taskana should use the 'application.properties' file from the classpath, you should specify "/application.properties" as propertiesFileName.
Please note, that if you specify a non-default propertiesSeparator, the access ids must not contain any character that is contained in this propertiesSeparator.
