com.emc.d2fs.authc.HttpAuthPrincipal<\/em>). Therefore, this was most probably linked to the basic authentication that I kept enabled just like for D2-REST. It looked like for D2-Smartview, it was really needed to disable it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Usually, I don’t like to disable security because you never know… This is especially true for the WebLogic basic authentication because this configuration applies to the whole WebLogic Domain! OpenText claims that disabling the basic authentication on WebLogic isn’t a security issue for their applications (DA, D2, D2-Config, D2-REST, D2-Smartview, d2ls, XMLViewer, DFS, …) because each of these handle the authentication directly. However, at some point in the future, some custom application might be deployed on that domain that expected WebLogic to perform the authentication so you might end-up with security holes. Unfortunately for D2-Smartview, it looks like there is no way around it at the moment (contrary to D2-REST), so disabling the basic authentication is needed if you expect it to work fully:<\/p>\n

As you can see above, I updated the config.xml directly but the preferred way to do it is using WLST. There are several explanations on that on the internet. Once that’s done, the download of files is then working as expected. Maybe OpenText will change the source code so that it doesn’t need that at some point in the future but until then at least, no real other solution. The other three requirements from the documentation are still not in place on my side and I didn’t find anything not working so far so I guess I will just continue to ignore them (especially the “DIDisabled” one).<\/p>\n
