You want to use the RoleManager:
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
RoleManager roleMan =
(RoleManager)ctx.lookup("java:comp/RoleManager");
try
{
roleMan.login(memberName, password);
}
catch (SecurityException ex)
{
return false;
}
return true;

Subject: HELP!!! - Using UserManagers - Logging in users without asking
for credentials
Hey,
I've tried everything that I can think of without any proper
documentation/examples to go by. What i'm trying to do is have a
servlet accept requests from another website. Balled up in that request
would be user credentials(ie: username, password, etc...). From the
request I want to log in that user to my application without them
knowing they have switched sites. I thought EJBManager was the way to
go but without any real documentation i'm at a loss as to how to go
about doing this. Right now we use DataSourceUserManager and form-based
login to accept the users info and that works fine.
Does anybody have any idea/examples on how to do this???
I've tried changing the <user-manager> in orion-application.xml to
"com.evermind.ejb.EJBManager" but I can't figure out how to use/see it
in a servlet to be able to do lookups on the DB.
Thanks,
Chris Evans
