Google Code-in

If it's your first Google Code-In task it's highly recommended to start with Become a community member.

Prerequisites

• The student will need to have a Jira account, if it's not the case you can signup here
• The student will also need a https://www.github.com account. You might also want to take a look at Git documentations.

Issue

The configuration property xwiki.authentication.useip should be mentioned in xwiki.cfg like all other properties. It would be great to have a small explanation and the out-commented default value like this:

1. Some explanation here .....
2. xwiki.authentication.useip=true

Expected Outcome

• The student must commit the changes and create a pull request on https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform The summary of the Pull Request must have a first line matching the JIRA issue following by a colon and then the title of this issue Add a comment in the jira issue mentioning your pull request and provide a link to it

Links

• The template used to generate the xwiki.cfg file is on https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-tools/xwiki-platform-tool-configuration-resources/src/main/resources/xwiki.cfg.vm
