Custom Login in Webdynpro Java Application

[former_member358863]

Hi,

I have to create a Webdynpro application having several views with first view serving the purpose of login page.

Is there any way to achieve the same.

Are there any APIs to use the authentication machanism of standard authentication process (without setting authentication=true).

The authentication could be for LDAP.

I do not intend to use standard page available for authentication which comes by setting authentication property of application as true.

Thanks for help.

Hi,

You can make use of JAAS (JavaTM Authentication and Authorization Service) API for your requirement

Hi,

I am not supposed to use JAAS as i looks like an entirely different user management, which is not permitted.

If you have any information about doing the same using UM Factory or other APIs which does not involve any Engine Configuration then please let me know.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi

I think that is possible with UM API user management API.

Take the credentials of the user from the login page and check whether the user is existing in the LDAP server using the code which inturn connects to LDAP and fetch the details of users.

If its correct information go to the next page other wise through an error.

Hi,

UM does not seem to have an api which accepts user and password and the returns the result of authentication.

It would be nice if you can help me directly with the code to do so.

Thanks & Regards,
