Installation of Gerrit

I had a lot of minor issues when installing Gerrit. Fortunately I found pretty good installation help from http://gregmeiste.com/2009/06/gerrit-code-review-installation/. I also used http://gerrit.googlecode.com/svn/documentation/2.0/index.html as guide.

Unfortunately, there wasn't nothing much about using http-basic authentication as a login method when using Jetty, so here's some tips for that. These were done with Jetty 6.8.

First, follow the basic instructions. Then uncompress gerrit.war to Jettys /webapps, make sure that it goes gerrit -directory.

Add following to WEB-INF/web.xml under gerrit -directory, I added these to the top of the file.

<security-constraint>
  <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>A Protected Page</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </web-resource-collection>
  <auth-constraint>
    <role-name>gerrit_user</role-name>
  </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>

<login-config>
  <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
  <realm-name>GerritRealm</realm-name>
</login-config>

Add following lines into gerrit.xml in Jetty's contexts -directory:

<get name="securityHandler">
  <set name="userRealm">

    <new class="org.mortbay.jetty.security.HashUserRealm">
      <set name="name">GerritRealm</set>
      <set name="config"><systemproperty default="." name="jetty.home">/etc/gerritrealm.properties</systemproperty></set>
    </new>
  </set>
</get>

Finally, create gerritrealm.properties into Jetty's etc/ and check etc/realm.properties for help. Passwords can be created by using the following command:

java -cp lib/jetty-xxx.jar:lib/jetty-util-xxx.jar org.mortbay.jetty.security.Password
