Customizing your login!

[lcsuarezl]

Hello, initially I suppose to post to ask for help, but before I ask I try again and I found the answer by myself! and it is my first time with seam!

So here is it:

For customizing your login you need to do 4 things
1- Create your custom Credential class extending the default:

package org.jboss.seam.security.credentials;

import org.jboss.seam.annotations.intercept.BypassInterceptors;
import org.jboss.seam.security.Credentials;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Startup;
import org.jboss.seam.core.Events;

@Name("myCredentials")
@BypassInterceptors
@Startup
public class MyCredentials extends Credentials {

     private String userID;

     public String getUserID() {
          return userID;
     }

     public void setUserID(String userID) {
          this.userID = userID;
          if (Events.exists()) Events.instance().raiseEvent(EVENT_CREDENTIALS_UPDATED);
     }
}

In this case I add a simple String userID field which I need in my Login form

2- Create your custom Identity class extending the default:

package org.jboss.seam.security.identity;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Startup;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.intercept.BypassInterceptors;
import org.jboss.seam.log.LogProvider;
import org.jboss.seam.log.Logging;
import org.jboss.seam.security.Identity;

@Name("myIdentity")

@BypassInterceptors

@Startup
/**
 * Generamos una clase propia para Identity que permita contar con el atributo extra 
 * para el inicio de sesion 
 * 
 */
public class MyIdentity extends Identity

{

   private static final LogProvider log = Logging.getLogProvider(MyIdentity.class);


   private String userID;


   public String getUserID() {
        return userID;
   }



   public void setUserID(String userID) {
        this.userID = userID;
   }
   

   @Override

   public String login()

   {

      log.info("###### CUSTOM LOGIN CALLED ######");

      return super.login();

   }

}

3- Customizing your Login Form:

<!DOCTYPE composition PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
     xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
     xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
     xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
     xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
     xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich" template="layout/template.xhtml">

     <ui:define name="body">

          <h:form id="loginForm">

               <rich:panel>
                    <f:facet name="header">Login</f:facet>

                    <p>Please login here</p>

                    <div class="dialog"><h:panelGrid columns="2" rowClasses="prop"
                         columnClasses="name,value">
                         <h:outputLabel for="username">Username</h:outputLabel>
                         <h:inputText id="username" value="#{myCredentials.username}" />
                         <h:outputLabel for="userID">User ID</h:outputLabel>
                         <h:inputText id="userID" value="#{myCredentials.userID}" />     
                         <h:outputLabel for="password">Password</h:outputLabel>
                         <h:inputSecret id="password" value="#{myCredentials.password}" />
                         <h:outputLabel for="rememberMe">Remember me</h:outputLabel>
                         <h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="rememberMe"
                              value="#{rememberMe.enabled}" />
                    </h:panelGrid></div>

                    <p><i>Note - </i> You may login with your username, your id and your
                    password.</p>

               </rich:panel>

               <div class="actionButtons"><h:commandButton id="submit"
                    value="Login" action="#{identity.login}" /></div>

          </h:form>

     </ui:define>
</ui:composition>

I just add my userID field in the form

4 Finally modify your authentication method like this:

package org.domain.authentication.session;

import org.jboss.seam.annotations.In;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Logger;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.log.Log;
import org.jboss.seam.security.credentials.MyCredentials;
import org.jboss.seam.security.identity.MyIdentity;

@Name("authenticator")
public class Authenticator
{
    @Logger private Log log;

    @In MyIdentity myIdentity;
    @In MyCredentials myCredentials;
    
    public boolean authenticate()
    {
        log.info("authenticating {0}", myCredentials.getUsername());
        //write your authentication logic here,
        //return true if the authentication was
        //successful, false otherwise
        System.out.println("user:"+myCredentials.getUsername());
        System.out.println("password:"+myCredentials.getPassword());
        System.out.println("ID:"+myCredentials.getUserID());
        if ("admin".equals(myCredentials.getUsername()) && "1".equals(myCredentials.getUserID()) && "123456".equals(myCredentials.getPassword()))
        {
            myIdentity.addRole("admin");
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

}

And that's all!

But there is Still something more to do, in the welcome page I got a message:

Welcome Null!

That will be a further exercise :-)

P.D excuse my English!
