Anonymous Dashboards and Spring Security Framework

I have a new install of OpenNMS 1.8.8 Snapshot on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.1.  Everything has been going smoothly discovering nodes etc. .  One of the things that we were excited to implement was  Anonymous Dashboards.  I have been following the Dashboard instructions on the wiki (http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Dashboard).  Everything goes smoothly until I get to the Security XML section.

The file applicationContext-acegi-security.xml  is not present.  I have gathered in OpenNMS 1.7 that the security framework changed from Acegis to Spring Security and now there is a file named  applicationContext-spring-security.xml Anonymous .xml .

I have looked through the file and the filterChainProxy and filterInvocationInterceptor are no longer present.

I added the following to the <http > area:

<intercept-url pattern="/pcpdash*" access="ROLE_USER,ROLE_DASHBOARD" />.

Then placed this in the  mappedEntryPoint <beans:list> :

<beans:value>/pcpdash*</beans:value>

With these changes in place and a restart of OpenNMS I am able to navigate to the /pcpdash but am asked for basic authentication.  If I put the username (pcpgj) and password in that I created the for the dashboard the view looks perfect.  When I try and add the anonymous processing is where things stop working.

I found on the Spring Security website a class that has a similar name to org.acegisecurity.providers.anonymous.AnonymousProcessingFilter used in the OpenNMS wiki article.  I also found an example of its use (http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/docs/2.0.x/reference/anonymous.html) .  I pasted these beans in based off of the OpenNMS wiki and the Spring Security example just above the remarked out radius authentication section.

<bean id="pcpdashAnonymousProcessingFilter"
    class="org.springframework.security.providers.anonymous.AnonymousProcessingFilter">
  <property name="key" value="foobar"/>
  <property name="userAttribute" value="pcpgj,ROLE_DASHBOARD"/>
</bean>

<bean id="pcpdashAanonymousAuthenticationProvider"
    class="org.springframework.security.providers.anonymous.AnonymousAuthenticationProvider">
  <property name="key" value="foobar"/>
</bean>

Once this is added and I restart OpenNMS I get an HTTP 503 error when I navigate to the main /openms or the dashboard /pcpdash .  I have to say that Web Security is way far away from anything that I know.  I appreciate any guidance or assistance in this matter.

Thank You

Dan
