Portal Login

[jkoek]

Hello,

I'm using a JSPPortlet with contains a form with the login credentials.
This portlet runs on a portal page on a different portal then the default portal.
/portal/portal/MyPortal/Home for instance

When I submit the form the portal/Tomcat complains with the following error;
HTTP Status 400 - Invalid direct reference to form login page

The reason why I want to use this way of login in, is that I don't want to change another package in the deployment set (web.xml in portal-server.war).
Because my deployment must be able to run on different portals or integrate with my customers portal.
Where my customer has it's own login modules.

I can check with the JSPPortlet if a user is logged on, if that is the case I don't have to show the login dialog but can so a welcome message.

Underneath the jsp content of the jsp file I'm using to log;

<center>
<div id="login-container" style="width:250px" >
 <fieldset>
<legend>Login</legend>
<form method="POST" action="<%= response.encodeURL("/portal/j_security_check") %>" id="loginForm" >
<label for="username">Username:</label><input type="text" name="j_username" id="username" value=""/><br>
<label for="password">Password:</label><input type="password" name="j_password" id="password" value=""/><br>
<br>
<input type="submit" id="loginButton" name="login" value="Login"/>
</form>
</fieldset>
</div>
</center>

Does anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Jeroen.

Jeroen-

The Tomcat Form Authenticator uses the Login Page location configured during its configuration in the web.xml. Thats why it looks like Tomcat is complaining.


If you want to integrate/swap different LoginModule implementations, you should be able to do it in the jboss-portal.sar/conf/login-config.xml

Hi all,
I'm very new to JbossPortal. I've deployed jboss-portal.sar and installed MySQL database named "jbossportal". Now i can run the homepage of the Portal but i couldn't login. It reported "Invalid user login". I checked there's no user in table "jbp_users".
Could u tell me where to check the user existed? The default user "admin" was not accepted.

Thankyou.

Sorry for my late response.

But I don't want to inject a different LoginModule.

I want to use the default LoginModule.

My deployment may not be portal specific.
So I want to call the /portal/j_security_check from within my own portlet.

I want to call the /portal/j_security_check from within my own portlet.

You can't. "j_security_check" is not a real URL, but a magic bullet which only the underlying web app server (e.g. Tomcat) is allowed to fire or catch, part of the J2EE form-login spec. As far as I know the only way to initiate a forms-based login is to force a redirect to a protected URL, triggering the app server's login protocol implicitly. I'd settle for a proprietary hook into tomcat just to do it manually, but I've not found such a call.

Hello,

Originally I was using MySQL5 mis confugred ie was not in strict mode however my data soruce was not correct and thus got could not create tables first time..

So I than corrrect the datasource and restarted with could not log in as user or admin..

SO I than stopped server and deleted default/tmp, default,data, default/log, and default work with the same results of not being able to log in with user/user or admin/admin..


I did a Mysqladmin check and yes the user table is at zero..

My solution is to create a new db and pint my JBossPortal bundled install to that db and thus problem solved..

Thus I guess the answer to org thread should be if originally deployed wrong using MYSQL5 ie the my.ini or the datasource was incorrect than you need to create a new db or re-create org db and than restart server to fix admin/admin user/user login problems.

I have the same problem as jkoek and I have one question!?

Is it possible to make own login portlet on the same way as originally login.jsp?

I try this http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=PortletLogin , but POST

Can somebody help me please, how to do own login portlet.

hello damchy I have the same problem as you in jboss portal 2.6. It seems that session is erased before arriving at login.jsp.

You could solve the problem?

Thanks,
