Then if you open the server with the URL https://localhost:8443/ the following screen should appear:

Note that the actual image changes with every liferay version. If there is weird html output without images and plain text, then likely some port settings did not work and the pages generated have wrong URLs inside.

Sign in at the icon at the upper left corner. If you did not change the values in configuration.rbthe default login is [email protected] and sw360fossy.

After login the sw360 is not setup, thus the server does not display much, but a screen like the following:

Setup SW360 for Liferay: Import *.lar Files

For the setup of SW360 in Liferay, the portal description files, *.lar files need not be imported. there is no way except from doing this in the UI. If we are wrong with this, please let us know, because it is very annoying that these ever occurring steps cannot be automated with Liferay.

In order to go ahead, switch to the SW360 area where you can apply site settings:

screenshots/Screenshot 2020-08-13 at 20.11.20.png

The go into > Publishing > Import which shows like this:

screenshots/Screenshot 2020-08-13 at 20.11.25.png

Then, click on the plus sign in order to import the *.lar file for public pages. You will find the lar files in the frontend/configuration folder of the sw360 repository.

As for import settings, follow the selection as shown on the screenshot. It is very important that for the PublicPages.lar file the selection Public Pages is made.

Importing permission makes sure that pages are visible according to users rights. For public pages, it is irrelevant at the moment. Overwriting and the write as current user needs to be selected.

After successful importing, the same steps shall be repeated for the PrivatePages.lar file.

Make sure that Private Pages is selected. Follow the other selections made as shown on the screenshot ... importing permissions ... mirror with overwriting, use the current author ...

If you click then the liferay logo at the upper left corner where the SW360 is, you will return to the application and the following screen should appear:

screenshots/Screenshot 2020-08-13 at 20.24.18.png

screenshots/Screenshot 2020-08-13 at 20.24.21.png

Click Start to open the private pages. You are still logged in, so the setup account is used to view the pages.

Important The setup account does not belong to a group. Thus, not all view are functional because they require a group membership to work correctly.

Click the SW360 Admin menu which is at the right and selection the User item.

screenshots/Screenshot 2020-08-13 at 20.24.48.png

At the bottom of that view, select a User file to import for testing. Skip it if you will create users differently. You can find a user account import file to import in the sw360vagrant project in the folder shared. After the user have been imported successfully, they should appear in the table view.

Real Login

One example user is [email protected] with the password 12345. Note that in the import file with the example accounts, the passwort is provided with a hash. If you would like to generate new (salted) hashes, you can change your password and export the user list using the same portlet where you have imported the users. This functionality can be also used to migrate accounts between servers.

After the successful login, SW360 will look as follows.
