[SOLVED] Setting session attribute in auto login hook

[Ingemar Jansson, geändert vor 13 Jahren.]

Hi

I have set an attribute in the HttpSession in an auto login hook.
Then I set the request attribute AutoLogin.AUTO_LOGIN_REDIRECT.

When I try to get the attribute from the session it's not there.

I see in the code that there is a redirect when AutoLogin.AUTO_LOGIN_REDIRECT attribute is set but I thought the JSESSIONID cookie should keep the same session even after a redirect.

Is it not possible to set a session attribute in an auto login hook and fetch it from the page I'm redirecting to?

Regards
Ingemar

Hej Ingemar,

It's possible, check these settings in portal(-ext).properties:

##
## Request
##

    #
    # Portlets that have been configured to use private request attributes in
    # liferay-portlet.xml may still want to share some request attributes. This
    # property allows you to configure which request attributes will be shared.
    # Set a comma delimited list of attribute names that will be shared when the
    # attribute name starts with one of the specified attribute names. For
    # example, if you set the value to "hello_,world_", then all attribute names
    # that start with "hello_" or "world_" will be shared.
    #
    request.shared.attributes=LIFERAY_SHARED_

##
## Session
##

    #
    # Portlets that have been configured to use private session attributes in
    # liferay-portlet.xml may still want to share some session attributes. This
    # property allows you to configure which session attributes will be shared.
    # Set a comma delimited list of attribute names that will be shared when the
    # attribute name starts with one of the specified attribute names. For
    # example, if you set the value to "hello_,world_", then all attribute names
    # that start with "hello_" or "world_" will be shared.
    #
    # Note that this property is used to specify the sharing of session
    # attributes from the portal to the portlet. This is not used to specify
    # session sharing between portlet WARs or from the portlet to the portal.
    #
    session.shared.attributes=org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE,COMPANY_,USER_,LIFERAY_SHARED_

Curious.. Is Auto Login Hook the same as "Custom Authentication"? as described here: Developing a custom authentication system

I can't seem to figure out how to get access to the HttpSession from within the Authenticator..

Thanks!

I'm having the same issue.. Can somebody give some pointers?

Ok, figured it out. The autologin has it's own HttpSession. When the user is logged in a new HttpSession is created.

So when you want to set some http session objects, you must set those objects after the autologin. So use a custom PostLoginAction that does that.

If you need to retrieve a variable such as a token SSO you can do this :
- In the hook AutoLogin set a request parameter :

request.setParameter("tokenSSO", tokenSSO)

- Add a hook at event "login.events.post" that retrieve the request parameter and put it in the session

String tokenSSO = request.getParameter("tokenSSO")
request.getSession().addAttribute("tokenSSO", tokenSSO)

HttpServletRequest doesn't have a setParameter method, so how did you really do this?

[David H Nebinger, geändert vor 9 Jahren.]

Liferay wraps the incoming HttpServletRequest with it's own class that allows for parameter setting.

Hi, Pls let me know How do you achieve this ? which class can wrap httpservlet request and set parameter ?

Nithin,

To get the Session object between two hooks , you can try this in liferay 6.1

1. Set this property in portal-ext.properties

#
    # Set a comma delimited list of attribute names that will be copied to the
    # new session when the property "session.enable.phishing.protection" is set
    # to true. Also if you set the value to "START_", "END_", then all attribute names
    # that start with "START_" or "END_" will be shared between hooks. 
    #
  session.phishing.protected.attributes=START_TIME

2. Setting the session in Hook-1

 HttpServletRequest request = PortalUtil.getHttpServletRequest(actionRequest);
	request.getSession(true).setAttribute("START_TIME", "something");

3. Receiving session object in Hook-2 passing from Hook-1

 String sessionFromHook1= (String)request.getSession().getAttribute("START_TIME");

Hope this helps.
