## OpenSocial Rest Context Configuration

### Description

The service is used to configure the portal container name when there is an OpenSocial REST API request. By configuring this service, you can make sure that the right portal container is reached. The default portal container is portal.

### Component plug-in configuration

This should be used when there is a portal container different than the default portal one.

    <external-component-plugins>

      <target-component>org.exoplatform.social.opensocial.auth.RestPortalContainerNameConfig</target-component>

      <component-plugin>

        <name>set portal container name used for REST service</name>

            <value>socialdemo</value>

          </value-param>

        </init-params>

      </component-plugin>

    </external-component-plugins>

In which:

Name | Set-method | Type | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
set portal container name used for REST service | setRestContainerName | org.exoplatform.social.opensocial.auth.RestPortalContainerNameConfig | This plugin is used to set the rest portal container name for the OpenSocial REST API request.

- Init-params:

Name | Possible value | Possible value | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
rest-container-name | `any valid portal container name` | `N/A` | Name of the portal container.

## Spaces Template configuration

In eXo Social, you may have two space types (classic and webos spaces).

For the classic space, you can pre-configure the template. You can configure the layout to select where to display the applications (for example, the application's menu on the left, the selected application is displayed on the right, and more).

Here is an example of the configuration file that displays the menu on the left. The application will be inserted in the container with the ID Application:

    <page>

      <owner-type/>

      <owner-id/>

      <name/>

      <container id="SpacePage" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UITableColumnContainer.gtmpl">

        <container id="Menu" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl">

          <portlet-application>

            <portlet>

              <application-ref>space</application-ref>

              <portlet-ref>SpaceMenuPortlet</portlet-ref>

            </portlet>

            <access-permissions>*:/platform/users</access-permissions>

            <show-info-bar>false</show-info-bar>

          </portlet-application>

        </container>

        <container id="Application" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl">

        </container>

      </container>

    </page>

In this example, the outer container contains two inner containers: one container has id as Menu for your Menu and another has id as Application containing your applications.

If you want to put the menu on the right and the application on the left, you can swap the declared position of these two containers:

    <page>

      <owner-type/>

      <owner-id/>

      <name/>

      <container id="SpacePage" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UITableColumnContainer.gtmpl">

        <container id="Application" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl">

        <container id="Menu" template="system:/groovy/portal/webui/container/UIContainer.gtmpl">

          <portlet-application>

            <portlet>

              <application-ref>space</application-ref>

              <portlet-ref>SpaceMenuPortlet</portlet-ref>

            </portlet>

            <access-permissions>*:/platform/users</access-permissions>

            <show-info-bar>false</show-info-bar>

          </portlet-application>

        </container>

        </container>

      </container>

    </page>

In eXo Social standalone, this configuration file is at:

- $EXO_TOMCAT/webapps/socialdemo/WEB-INF/conf/portal/template/pages/space/page.xml

In eXo Platform, this configuration file is at:

- $EXO_TOMCAT/webapps/{portal-name}/WEB-INF/conf/portal/template/pages/space/page.xml

## Configure the oauth 2 legged scenario

This section is about configuring the oAuth 2 legs scenario in OpenSocial. (Reference: OpenSocial.org)

For more information, visit 2-legged OAuth for the OpenSocial REST API.

### Generate the certificates

To generate the key:

    $ openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -days 365 -nodes -x509 -keyout testkey.pem
         -out testkey.pem -subj '/CN=mytestkey'
    $ openssl pkcs8 -in testkey.pem -out oauthkey.pem -topk8 -nocrypt -outform PEM

### Configure the property file

Edit container.js and change the following parameter to point to your private key and key name.

    "gadgets.signingKeyFile" : "oauth.pem",
    "gadgets.signingKeyName" : "oauthKey",
