Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki Athentication Integration
hi, I'm still working on the user login from the educational plattform. to be precise I'm stuck with reimplementing checkAuth(). when I fill in the username into the context with setUser() and then call checkAuth() with the modified context the wiki-page is not accessible. but when I set the username directly in the checkAuth() - method e.g. return new XWikiUser("test") - the wiki-page is accessible. Could you possibly provide me with a sample implementation of this method? Florian Ludovic Dubost wrote:
Hi,
I would still need more information about how you get the username and in which context. request.getParameter() is in the context of the request. Does this mean that in the environment you are in, everything request contains a parameter with the username ? If so then you need to modify checkAuth() and fill in the context with the username from your request. You don't even need to implement authenticate since it will be never called if you reimplement checkAuth

Hi,
I'm not sure I understand how you get the username and password from your users..

hi,
thank you for the answer, but how *could* those two lines look like if
we get the username from the request and combine it with a given password?
the authenticate method which takes username, password and context as
parameter doesn't seem to do what i expect.

Hi,
You'll find some info here
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication+and+Rights+Man...
The authentication service probably needs to be written to handle the specificities of your system. If you already have information in your request or somewhere you might just need to write one or two lines in your authentication service.

Hello, We're currently working on integrating xwiki in an educational
plattform. That means, we need to provide an xwiki-page for each
course. We have
retty much all methods laid out and most of it working, the only thing
we are
still not sure about handling is the automatic login, before a user
gets to
see a specific xwiki-page. Adding users, groups and setting the permissions (in the xwiki) is all dealt with already - the only thing
that is missing
is the automatic login.
Is this possible with the existing methods or do we have to write our own authentication-service? If so, is there sample code or anything you could point us to how to proceed?
An option we were contemplating was, posting the login data to the
actual xwiki login form in the background (similar to what the
curl-library
provides in php), but this might just be unnecessary, if there is a
certain
existing method we can utilize for that.
Thanks a lot for your help in advance! Florian

Hello, Just as information, here we needed to authenticate users on the basis of a system account. There were specific way to retrieve account informations and specific way to check password (it's encrypted). All we did is cut and paste the existing XWikiAuthService implementation, and rewrite the public Principal authenticate(String username, String pwd, XWikiContext context) It was as easy as pickup encrypted passwrod from system, crypt the provided user password, compare and return a new SimplePrincipal with the username.

hello! thanks, the information was very useful and helped me a lot! the authentification via the authenticate method is working - i get back a principal with the name and an exception when i test it with a wrong password. the problem is that the user still isn't logged in. it seems to me that no cookie is created where username and password is stored - thats why when i klick on the link to open the xwikidocument i'm logged in as xwikiguest. florian -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Wed, 25 Oct 2006 10:36:20 +0200 Von: David Delbecq <[email protected]> An: [email protected] Betreff: Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki Athentication Integration
