RE: [flexcoders] Retrieving remote username with FDS

[Jeff Vroom]

You can use RTMP with RPC and also can enable polling for an RPC channel.  I believe we only start polling when someone subscribes over that channel anyway so amf and amf-polling are really the same thing if you are only doing RPC.      When you are using an HTTP session, the FlexContext.getFlexSession().getUserPrincipal() call will return request.getUserPrincipal if you have not explicitly logged in via the flex setCredentials stuff.   I am thinking that your login jsp page must be doing whatever your app server requires to get this request.getUserPrincipal set (or else I have no idea why that is working!)   This is not true for RTMP though… currently we do not have an automatic way to tie a specific RTMP session to an HTTP session from the same client.      Jeff   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dimitrios Gianninas Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 4:39 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Retrieving remote username with FDS   Actually based on your email, does this mean if you are using RTMP channel for FDMS, does this mean u can use it with RPC service as well? Cause I don't think this is mentioned in any docs/examples.   Dimitrios Gianninas RIA Developer Optimal Payments Inc.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dimitrios Gianninas Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 7:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Retrieving remote username with FDS thanks Jeff for that extra piece of info.   Right now my RPC stuff is using amf channel, where the FDMS stuff is using amf-polling. So it won't cause any problems to use amf-polling with regular RPC calls? Cause I would think you normally wouldn't have any real reason too.   I am not doing setCredentials() on any of the ROs or DSs... they Flex UI is embedded within a JSP app and it has a login page, so once they reach the Flex UI they are already authenticated and I don't need to call setCredentials(). Lovely how that works automatically.   Dimitrios Gianninas RIA Developer Optimal Payments Inc.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jeff Vroom Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 5:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Retrieving remote username with FDS That same approach should work with FDMS.   Have you used the setCredentials method on the DataService?    If the DataService and RPC service are using the same channel, they should also have the same FlexSession on the server side so only one service would technically need to authenticate.  If you are mixing services on the same channel, a little care is necessary to ensure that it had authenticated because (I am pretty sure) that if you call setCredentials on say a RemoteObject, it won’t actually send that to the server until you have actually tried to execute the remote call.  Jeff From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dimitrios Gianninas Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 11:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Retrieving remote username with FDS Hi, When using RPC services, on the server-side I can FlexContext.getFlexSession().getUserPrincipal() to retrieve the name of the user authenticated by the system... in the get and sync methods of FDS, this method call returns null... what else can I use?
