identity - Picketlink login fails

skorejo May 7, 2018 9:13 AM

I am new to picket link, on trying to login using below code I am getting failed authentication although my user name and password are correct.. Picket link compares the login password provided to what? Also is there any configuration I am missing, any hint would be really appreciated.

@Inject Identity identity;

@Inject DefaultLoginCredentials credentials;

String user = "abc@abc.com";

String password = "password";

credentials.setUserId(user);

credentials.setPassword(password);

String result = identity.login().toString();

You must have a class annotated with @PicketLink, like this:

@PicketLink
public class SimpleAuthenticator extends BaseAuthenticator {// implements BaseAuthenticator
@Inject DefaultLoginCredentials credentials;
@Override
   public void authenticate() { // Here the magic happens. identity.login() calls this method, and here you implement your logic
   if ("jsmith".equals(credentials.getUserId()) &&
   "abc123".equals(credentials.getPassword())) {
   setStatus(AuthenticationStatus.SUCCESS);
   setAccount(new User("jsmith"));
} else {
   setStatus(AuthenticationStatus.FAILURE);
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(
   "Authentication Failure - The username or password you provided were invalid."));
}
}
}

Here is the link of documentation that describe this proccess:

I was missing adding user credentials in identityManager, on adding user credentials and role I was able to connect. But if the user is added in identityManager once and tried to add again, it throws exception. Seems like this code of setting user credentials need to be executed only once for each user. Should I add this code in some particular file? or should i check if the identityManager already contains that user?

This issue has been resolved by checking if the identity exists in manager using BasicModel.getUser

Hi Alexandre,

On trying to add @PicketLink annotation I am getting this error: Unsatisfied dependencies with qualifiers @Default
