liferay authentication

[G R, modificado hace 8 años.]

HI,

1. I wanted to bypass the Liferay Auth and forward it for SSO auth to external server.
2. So to start with it first I implemented Liefray interface Authenticator. In it returns Authenticator.SUCCESS for all methods.
3. then I also updated and restart Liferay
portal-ext.properties for
auth.pipeline.pre=com.test.CustomAuth
auth.pipeline.enable.liferay.check=false

4. next when I hit the liferay UI, I am still prompted with login box where I enter the user and password mentioned as per property default.admin.password in portal-ext.properties.

please suggest if I miss any more things or need to do thing differently.

Hello G R,
Thanks for posting question.

So what you want is for it to "forward"; "and forward it for SSO auth to external server." To do this, you implement "CustomAuth." That will enable authenticating; though that does not enable the "forward." In order to "forward," you have choices. Look at LIferay implementation of:
- OpenSSOFilter on Github

It shows you how Liferay does the forward; for OpenSSO login option. Note the other piece to this in Liferay:
- OpenSSO AutoLogin class

For your custom Auth, you will need both parts: custom login and the "forward" parts too.

What you have done is a good start to this; though to achieve all goals, need some more code.

HI Bijan Vakili,

thanks very much for answering and pointers.

Another question i have "Authenticator Pipeline". I developed the Authenticator.. I send SAMLREsponse with POST method to Liferay url and I expect that SAMLResponse data to be available inside my custom pipeline. Is this possible ?[ I know that filter can be asked to listen to url and catch this data ]

I see that it exposed headerMap & parameterMap, but I do not see the content part.
headerMap
