Hahaha .. well that's an argument for you to have with Liferay . If you really believe it to be an error, then I suggest you open a ticket at issues.liferay.com and state your case there

Thank you Andrew.
I am new in liferay 7 and OSGI is great!
i think if this path does not work for Guest so this is a bug!
everyone expect that works for Guest when KB articles have enough permissions!

I thought about it a little more and there is one more thing to consider when using the portal-ext. With each release, more and more of the portal-ext properties are deprecated as they are moved into new models... Usually the control panel somewhere. So it might work now, but might stop working in an upgrade.

Hi Nader,

That's good to hear. No, it's not wrong -- you can do it that way as well of course. The only downside to that approach is that you lose some of the awesome dynamism that Liferay gives you. By putting it in a module it allows you to turn the public path "on and off" at runtime without the need to restart the server. In your case though, it's probably not an issue because that KB is an out of the box feature -- but if you ever find yourself defining your own public paths, I would encourage you to use the module approach so that the paths come and go with the availability of your feature.

Thank you for detailed reply it works!
But i do this by another way like liferay 6.1, i set this property in portal-ext.properties and append /knowledge_base/find_kb_article to this property value , is it wrong?

Hi Nader,

Alright I have reproduced your issue. I used the same setup that you specified above, however when I first did it, was working. But when I change the display type on teh asset publisher to "View in Context" it broke -- or rather it behaves the way you said, by challenging me to authenticate first.

Looking at the URL though I can see that it uses

http://localhost:8080/c/knowledge_base/find_kb_article?plid=20129&amp;resourcePrimKey=105031&amp;redirect=%2Fweb%2Fguest%2Fhome%3Fp_p_id%3Dcom_liferay_login_web_portlet_LoginPortlet%26p_p_lifecycle%3D0%26p_p_state%3Dnormal%26p_p_state_rcv%3D1

.. the leading /c indicates that it is a StrutsAction (service) that is being invoked. My guess is that it's challenging you for creds because that path is not listed as public. By default, struts actions services are private and if you want to make a path public, then you have to set the property auth.public.path to include the path you want to be unprotected. In Liferay with OSGI you can do this with a simple service.

@Component(
    immediate = true,
&nbsp;   property = {
&nbsp;       "auth.public.path=/knowledge_base/find_kb_article"
&nbsp;   },
&nbsp;   service = Object.class
)
public class KBPublicPath {
&nbsp; // empty class -- used only to make teh knowledge base struts action path public
}

One thing to keep in mind though is that this will make this action public for all knowledge bases (on this site and others) because the struts action is a server level change.

Let me know if that helps -- I didn't actuall try it on my side

Ok -- I was just checking. I'll try to replicate your configuration on my side to see what I get for results.

Is the page that is being linked to a public page?

Hi Andrew
I checked all these as you said

All folders in KB portlet have the View permission for Guest role.
Asset Publisher posrtlet shows all KB articles as list fine.
Also KB Dislpay portlet shows all articles fine.

But all links in asset publisher as i said need to login

Hi Nader,

I'm not sure if this will make a difference since you said you set each of the articles to have the VIEW permission for the Guest role -- but can you try

1. Log in as admin
2. Control Panel > Users > Roles
3. Guest Row > Stop Light Menu or Kebab > Edit
4. Across the top is a link for "Define Permissions"
5. Expand Site Administration (left tree)
6. Expand Content
7. Click on Knowledge base

.. and make sure the correct permissions are in place. Note though that this will now become the default so it means that all KB articles will be visible to Guest users. Just mentioning it in case that is NOT what you want.

Also, just to make sure -- the Asset Publisher is configured to show the Knowledge Base asset type right?
