Sergio, What you are attempting is actually the most common use of AREA - using the AREA plugin for authentication but having the Authorization from the User form.
All of the extra fields - groups, notification methods, email address - of the AREA return are optional. If they are not supplied, the system should take the yes/no about authentication to tell if the user is valid and then look up the other data from the User form. Take a look at the documentation page https://docs.bmc.com/docs/display/ars81/AREA+API+data+structure It talks about the return structure of the AREA call and the fact that if values returned are NULL, it will cross reference the user form for the information. You can supply some values and not others or no values for anything and have everything other than authentication be from the user form. Note that you need to have the cross reference blank password setting configured to cause AREA to look at the user form after authentication. I hope this is helpful, Doug Mueller From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sergio Feito Sent: Monday, November 25, 2013 8:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: area plugin authorization issue ** Hi. I'm trying to develop an area plugin in java in an ARS 8.1. The authentication works fine but not the authorization (licenses and groups). The user log into the system and exists in the User form but doesn't take licenses or group list from the User form. I want to make the users are assigned the license type, app licenses, group list etc... specified in the User form instead setting this parameters as a constant in the plugin. Is there any way to do this??
