The user attribute "password" is populated with the end user's cached password when a caching security context is used and off-by-default support for conveying those cached passwords via the JSR-168 user attribute API is turned on.
Enabling conveyance of passwords as user attributes
Configuring uPortal to cache the password at login
This is accomplished in security.properties. Rather than documenting how to do this here, this topic should be treated in the prior manual section on caching security contexts.
Configuring uPortal's portlet container to convey the password
In portletContainerContext.xml, enhance the existing declaration:
| Code Block |
|---|
| xml |
|---|
| xml |
|---|
| title | userInfoService declaration in portletContainerContext.xml |
|---|
|
<bean id="userInfoService" class="org.jasig.portal.portlet.container.services.MergingUserInfoService">
<property name="userInfoServices">
<list>
<ref bean="personDirectoryUserInfoService"/>
<ref bean="casTicketUserInfoService"/>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
|
to additionally reference the cached password service:
| Code Block |
|---|
| xml |
|---|
| xml |
|---|
| title | userInfoService declaration modified to reference the cached password service in portletContainerContext.xml |
|---|
|
<bean id="userInfoService" class="org.jasig.portal.portlet.container.services.MergingUserInfoService">
<property name="userInfoServices">
<list>
<ref bean="personDirectoryUserInfoService"/>
<ref bean="casTicketUserInfoService"/>
<ref bean="cachedPasswordUserInfoService"/>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
|
Of course, that reference needs to point at a bean declaration, so introduce a bean like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
| xml |
|---|
| xml |
|---|
| title | introduce a cachedPasswordUserInfoService declaration in portletContainerContext.xml |
|---|
|
<bean id="cachedPasswordUserInfoService" class="org.jasig.portal.portlet.container.services.CachedPasswordUserInfoService.java">
<property name="portalRequestUtils" ref="portalRequestUtils" />
<property name="userInstanceManager" ref="userInstanceManager" />
<property name="portletWindowRegistry" ref="portletWindowRegistry" />
<property name="portletEntityRegistry" ref="portletEntityRegistry" />
<property name="portletDefinitionRegistry" ref="portletDefinitionRegistry" />
<property name="passwordKey" value="password"/>
</bean>
|
Consuming the attributes once available
| Code Block |
|---|
| xml |
|---|
| xml |
|---|
| title | Declaring password user attribute in portlet.xml |
|---|
|
<user-attribute>
<description>Specially treated user attribute name that will be
populated with the end user's cached password, if available</description>
<name>password</name>
</user-attribute>
