Authentication with widgets

[Vipin Bardia, modifié il y a 8 années.]

Hi Folks,

I am trying to use liferay widgets into salesforce and want to display authenticated user's data.

I am using below JS to embed widgets in my another site -

<script src="https://abc.com/html/js/liferay/widget.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	Liferay.Widget({ url: 'https://abc.com/widget/web/lr/home/-/hello_INSTANCE_RIZ2TlJMaoM9'});
</script>

How can I authenticate users in case of widgets?

Hi Vipin,

I've never done this before but have you tried passing the credentials in the url? Even if just to see whether or not that actually works?

Hi Andrew,

No I didn't try that. Will try and update.
Thanks.

Hi Vipin,

Basically you have to be logged in to the Liferay Instance that you receive the Widget from.

Place your widget on a private page or site and you are automatically send to login screen:

Its simply proven: if you are logged in to this Liferay Instance with the same browser before calling the widget url you should be logged in as wel in the widget ( it shares the same cookie/session.

So its all about how do you want to be known in a Widget, as a know user or as a generic user.
Do you want Widget Users first to login to Liferay or do you want them to be auto logged in as some generic user: Any of the auto login hooks should be able to help you in last case.

auto.login.hooks=com.liferay.portal.security.auth.CASAutoLogin,com.liferay.portal.security.auth.FacebookAutoLogin,com.liferay.portal.security.auth.NtlmAutoLogin,com.liferay.portal.security.auth.OpenIdAutoLogin,com.liferay.portal.security.auth.OpenSSOAutoLogin,com.liferay.portal.security.auth.RememberMeAutoLogin,com.liferay.portal.security.auth.SiteMinderAutoLogin 

More complex and best with Salesforce would be to use SAML authentication.

Good luck.

Hi Corné,

Thanks for your inputs.
Will try to go with SSO.

Apologies for using the wrong category. I did it by mistake. Will take care of that in future.
