Description

When I impersonate a regular user in a running instance of Liferay Portal (while using a portal context different than the default) the URL to which I'm redirected is wrong and the page shows a status portlet with the "Not Found" message.

E.g., I'm using /portal as portal context path. Impersonating am user, then, redirects me to localhost:8080/portal/portal/web/guest/home?doAsUserId=9iWdQZMSOeo%3D. Note the extra /portal in the URL.

When I manually remove the extra /portal in the URL, impersonating works as expected.

The portal context name was added twice to the url by the DoAsURLTag tag.

PASSED Manual Testing using the following steps:

1. Add portal.ctx=/portal in portal-ext.properties.
2. Change ROOT folder name to portal in bundle\webapps.
3. Change ROOT.xml name to portal.xml in bundle\conf\Catalina\localhost.
4. Change <Context path="" crossContext="true"> to <Context path="/portal" crossContext="true">.
5. Start portal.
6. Sign in as Administrator.
7. Go to Control Panel > Users and Organizations.
8. Create a new user.
9. Click Actions button behind the created user.
10. Click Impersonate User.

Reproduced on:
Tomcat 7.0 + MySQL 5. Portal 6.1.20 EE GA2.

Impersonating user redirects to invalid page when using non-root context.

Fixed on:
Tomcat 7.0 + MySQL 5. Portal 6.1.x EE GIT ID: f08e58a6e70d5d444321a2ef4ac98a01db67395a.
Tomcat 7.0 + MySQL 5. Portal 6.2.x GIT ID: ff7416ed73f59110f5b4c3fff0d7fe1b296f1cba.

Impersonating user works properly with non-root context.
