This code works fine. Thanks !
I need to have this code set cookies, for compatibility
with other code, and I see that the relevant code is in
com.uwyn.rife.authentication.elements.Authenticated.startNewSession().
I wonder if it might make sense to have HttpAuthentication
_extend_ Authenticated, or perhaps even RoleUserAuthenticated ?
Perhaps not ... The code as-is is a good example of how
to write your own standalone authentication element :)
Also, I would like HttpAuthentication to accept a _set_ of
roles, so that a user could login who has _any_ of these
roles, and then an exit is selected based on the role.
Like so:
[ sitemap ]
<element id="HTTPAUTH" implementation="wa.authent.HttpAuthent">
<property name="role">role1 role2 role3</property>
</element>
[ HttpAuthentication ]
if (theRole.equals ("role1")) redirect ("/foo/menu");
if (theRole.equals ("role2")) redirect ("/bar/menu");
if (theRole.equals ("role3")) redirect ("/byob/menu");
I guess then that code for credentials validation could be
modified to try each username+password+role combination,
until one succeeds:
SessionManager sessionMgr = MemorySessionsFactory.getInstance();
SessionValidator validator = new MemorySessionValidator();
MemoryUsers credentialsMgr = MemoryUsers.getRepInstance();
validator.setCredentialsManager(credentialsMgr);
validator.setSessionManager(sessionMgr);
validator.setRememberManager(null);
String username = cred_arr[0];
String password = cred_arr[1];
List<String> roles = StringUtils.unpack(getPropertyString("role"));
for (String role : roles) {
RoleUser credentials = new RoleUser(username, password, role);
if (credentials.validate()) {
// succeeded; select appropriate exit
[..]
thx
