Hey,
i'm trying to create my own custom Authentication class because i need
to Authenticate the user's password against a hardware token Controller.
This means i need to verify the password presented by the users which
was generated by his token against the Controller for whic i know the API.
I'm having trouble to get a simple custom testAuthentication class running :
I've written a
public class CustomAuthentication extends TurbineBaseService implements
PortalAuthentication {
and implemented a simple login method :
public JetspeedUser login(String username, String password) throws
LoginException {
JetspeedUser user = null;
//see if we can make this work using a very basic
username/password test
if ("test".equals(username) && "test".equals(password)) {
System.out.println("username/pw are OK");
user = new BaseJetspeedUser();
System.out.println("user created");
user.setUserName(username);
System.out.println("username set");
// Mark the user as being logged in.
user.setHasLoggedIn(new Boolean(true));
System.out.println("login_date set");
// Set the last_login date in the database.
try {
//user.updateLastLogin();
putUserIntoContext(user);
System.out.println("user in context");
if (cachingEnable) {
System.out.println("trying to load cache");
JetspeedSecurityCache.load(username);
System.out.println("cache loaded");
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("exception occured");
putUserIntoContext(JetspeedSecurity.getAnonymousUser());
throw new LoginException("Failed to update last login
", e);
}
} else {
throw new LoginException("username/password combination not
known to me !");
}
when the user logs in i get a
Horrible Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at
org.apache.jetspeed.modules.actions.JLoginUser.doPerform(JLoginUser.java:305)
at org.apache.turbine.modules.ActionEvent.perform(ActionEvent.java:148)
at org.apache.turbine.modules.ActionLoader.exec(ActionLoader.java:122)
at org.apache.turbine.Turbine.doGet(Turbine.java:456) at
org.apache.turbine.Turbine.doPost(Turbine.java:616) at
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:760) at
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at
so i'm puzzled to say the least :
can anyone tell me what i'm supposed to do to make my own Authentication
class work ? How to create the JetspeedUser ?
What needs to be implemented ?
thanks for your time ;-)
