Portal behaviour using authentication filters for login, logout or session timeout.

[regis.mazur]

Hi,

I'd like to know GateIn has any kind portal authentication filters to intercept or extend the portal login, logout or session timeout.

For example could those filters handle events that concern the flows of Portal login, logout, and session handling to for instance to redirect users to a specific URL.

Thanks.

Hi Regis,

yes they are. It depends on your usecase and what exactly you want to achieve. For redirection to specific URL after login, you can look at https://community.jboss.org/wiki/RedirectAUserToPageOnLoginlogoutBasedOnRole

Thank you Marek, this is definitely helpful.

The use case is in case of session timeout or implicit logout, the user will be redirected to a specific URL.

Hi Marek,

Still using sessionId as the key with value=userId (HTTP session is invalidated during logout and all attributes are cleaned but session ID is still the same) and storing it in the helper registry, we have modifed the LoginRedirectFilter to only detect session timeout followed to an immediate redirect to specific static page and it works fine.

Many thanks for your help.

Regards.
