this is the Authenticator Class

==========================
public class SimpleAuthenticator extends BaseAuthenticator implements Authenticator {

    @Inject EntityManager entityManager;
    @Inject Credentials credentials;
    @Override
    public void authenticate() {
        if ("demo".equals(credentials.getUsername()) &&
                credentials.getCredential() instanceof PasswordCredential &&
                "demo".equals(((PasswordCredential) credentials.getCredential()).getValue())) {
            setStatus(AuthenticationStatus.SUCCESS);
            setUser(new SimpleUser("demo"));
            System.out.println(AuthenticationStatus.SUCCESS);
        } else {
            setStatus(AuthenticationStatus.FAILURE);
            System.out.println(AuthenticationStatus.FAILURE);
        }
    }
}
====================================

i try to use jsf page to login:
==================
<h:form id="loginForm" rendered="#{not identity.loggedIn}">
    <h:messages/>
    <span>demo demo</span>
    <div class="loginRow">
        <h:outputLabel for="name" value="Username" styleClass="loginLabel"/>
        <h:inputText id="name" value="#{credentials.username}"/>
    </div>
    <div class="loginRow">
        <h:outputLabel for="password" value="Password" styleClass="loginLabel"/>
        <h:inputSecret id="password" value="#{credentials.password}" redisplay="true"/>
    </div>

    <div class="loginRow">

    </div>

    <div class="buttons">
        <h:commandButton id="login" value="LOGIN" action="#{identity.login}" styleClass="loginButton"/>
    </div>
</h:form>
===========================
if input "demo" "demo" and click LOGIN button,the console show SUCCESS.

but i want to user username and password in annother Email Class.

public class Email{
    @Inject Credentials credentials;
    @Inject Identity identity;


    public Email(){

    }

    public void receiveMail() throws Exception {


        System.out.println("i want get username and password here");
        System.out.println(credentials.getUsername());
        System.out.println(((PasswordCredential) credentials.getCredential()).getValue());

         /* to connect to email server*/
    }
}

2. Re: how to get user's password value after success authenticate?

nathandennis Feb 27, 2013 8:21 AM (in response to shenlanemo)

well you know what the problem is... the value isnt there in the bean. says so right there in the stack...

try

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

i doubt its getting there without using the submit option. There are some things that changed in JSF2 might want to take a look at the docs and maybe glance at a migration guide to get you up to speed.

thats not it.. i just tested it... this works

System.out.println( ((PasswordCredential) credentials.getCredential()).getValue());

you arent getting the value to the bean.. check the jsf again. something is up with your xhtml

nathandennis Feb 28, 2013 2:45 PM (in response to shenlanemo)

why are you using
redisplay="true"?
http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/javaserverfaces/2.1/docs/vdldocs/facelets/h/inputSecret.html
Flag indicating that any existing value in this field should be rendered when the form is created. Because this is a potential security risk, password values are not displayed by default.

i doubt this is what you want unless you are trying to do something with ajax... which according to your code you arent.

thanks nathan dennis.

i cut the redisplay attribute , and the error still exist.

and i cut the project to a very simple example to show the error.

1.Authenticator class

}
========================

3.i use a jsf page to do user login and show user name and password.

======
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
after login sucess,when i click the button:
<h:commandButton value="print username and password to the console" action="#{email.receiveMail}"/>
then code run to error.
      xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<ui:fragment rendered="#{identity.loggedIn}">
    <div>username: <b>#{identity.user.id}</b>
    </div>

    <h:form>
        <h:commandButton value="print username and password to the console" action="#{email.receiveMail}"/>
        <br/>
        <h:commandButton id="logout" value="Log out" action="#{identity.logout}"/>

<h:form id="loginForm" rendered="#{not identity.loggedIn}">
    <h:messages/>
    <span>demo demo</span>
    <div class="loginRow">

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

you need to take a serious look at your pom.xml.

from glancing at the project.. i would follow the seam doc on the configuration of the authenticator ... seam-bean.xml
<beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xmlns:s="urn:java:ee"
   xmlns:security="urn:java:org.jboss.seam.security"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://jboss.org/schema/cdi/beans_1_0.xsd">

   <security:IdentityImpl>
      <s:modifies/>
          <security:authenticatorName>simpleAuthenticator</security:authenticatorName>
   </security:IdentityImpl>

</beans>

get rid of the @Override
i also see you referencing identity without ever moving any sort of role into that.. you might want one at some point..

        setStatus(AuthenticationStatus.SUCCESS);
        setUser(new SimpleUser("demo"));
        identity.addRole("user", "USERS", "user");

but seriously.. you pom is all messed up.. you are using some versions of stuff that probably wont work. there is no repo info in there. I cant really tell what you have going on because this project will not compile with this build script.

thanks nathan dennis.

sorry !!!! my code is so in a mess.

so i use official example "security-authorization" in seam-3.1.0.Final and modified a little to show the problem.

1. i modifed the method in PrivilegedActions.java:
============================
public void doSomethingRestricted() {
        System.out.println("print username and password:===========================");
        System.out.println(credentials.getUsername());

        System.out.println(((PasswordCredential)(credentials.getCredential())).getValue());
        System.out.println("print username and password:---------------------------");
        //messages.info("doSomethingRestricted() invoked");
    }
============================

2.cut @Override and modifed home.xhtml to add a <h:inputSecret> field.

3.called privilegedActions.doSomethingRestricted method by this commandButton:
<h:commandButton value="print password on console()" action="#{privilegedActions.doSomethingRestricted}"/>

the code [System.out.println(((PasswordCredential)(credentials.getCredential())).getValue());] still run to Exception.

Hi Haisheng !!!

If you are using credentials.username and credentials.password seam will provide you to get the username and password by this to retreive the logged in username and password :

identity.getusername();

identity.getpassword();

* Here is the sample of code which may help you out :

		<div style="color: #000; padding-left: 890px; padding-top: 12px;">Welcome,
		<h:outputText value=" #{identity.username}" /> <a:commandLink
			action="#{myProfile.editMyProfile()}">

Regards,

Prakash

Hi Haisheng !!! In your bean you can declare as : @In Identity identity; and directly set the values in the setters for example : xxxx.setusername(identity.getusername()); Regards , Bhanu Prakash

Credentials is @RequestScoped, not @SessionScoped.

You might want to store your username and password in a @SessionScoped bean after login success, in order to retreive them later.

Go to original post

	setStatus(AuthenticationStatus.SUCCESS);
	setUser(new SimpleUser("demo"));
	identity.addRole("user", "USERS", "user");
