Hello,
on some pages i want to display a login-form wheter the User is logged in or not.
Therefore i need to know if the User is logged in. Is there a way i can do this when the page i server is not enclosed in a <map:act type="auth-protect">
?
I tried
${cocoon.session.getAttribute("org.apache.cocoon.webapps.session.context.SessionContext").get("authentication").getValueOfNode( "authentication/ID")} and ${cocoon.session.getAttribute("org.apache.cocoon.webapps.session.context.SessionContext").get("authentication").getValueOfNode( "ID")} (found this with google) but none of these work.
These two lines will only work inside the "auth-protect" action because only then a sessioncontext named "authentication" is available. Whenever that action fails, the user is not logged in and the authentication handler mechanism will redirect you to a login page.
Are you aiming at a site where you can log in on every page and show more info/pages if you are logged in? You might want to consider using a guest user/role so that everyone visiting the site is automatically logged in, but with restrictions attached to that "role/user" (so show login form if id/role is guest/guest) and only when logging in as a real user/role more options/pages are available.
Do check if you're satisfied with the authentication framework and see if it suits your needs: http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/developing/webapps/authentication.html , remember that the framework isn't the perfect solution for every problem.
Kind Regards, Jan
I use the contaioner authentication (with tomcat or jetty), and get the username in the flowscript simple using cocoon.request.getRemoteUser() this return the username when is called.
