logging in to jbpm-console from api code

[rossputin]

Hi,

does anyone know how I can log into the jbpm-console webapp from java code, so the 'request.remoteUser' field tested in the various .xhtml pages is assigned a value.

For example at the moment in an XSLT I am creating a process, and the first task in that process, I then want to click on a link, and navigate to the processes screen, or the tasks screen, but as I am not logged in, I can not get proper views on tasks etc.

I have looked at the identity component, but do not think this is where the work is done, it looks like it is handled in a form with an action called 'j_security_check',

thanks for your help in advance,

Ross

Hi,

I am still having trouble understanding how to authenticate a user with the system programatically in the jbpm-console, does anyone know how it can be done?

Cheers

Ross,

I don't know in which environment you are working, but JBoss AS 4.2.0 now contains features to do automatic web authentication:

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4077
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=WebAuthentication

The appropriate forum for getting more information on this topic would be the 'Security & JAAS/JBoss' forum, where a search for 'j_security_check' reveals threads such as

Hope this applies to your environment and that it helps to get you started
