I need some users to be authenticated by an external system. If they are
authenticated, they should become users of a certain group (e.g. "G4"),
which gives them read access to a certain collection.
Assuming that there is an user "u...@g4.xx" in group G4, I am wondering
will it work to have an AuthenticationMethod with such an authenticate
method:
public int authenticate(
Context context, String username, String password, String realm,
HttpServletRequest request)
throws Exception {
if (validUser(username, password)) {
EPerson eperson = EPerson.findByEmail(context, "u...@g4.xx");
context.setCurrentUser(eperson);
return SUCCESS;
}
else {
return BAD_CREDENTIALS;
}
}
I don't know is it acceptable to have several users logged in
simultaneously as one and the same "u...@g4.xx"?
Or can I make the "externally authenticated" users "anonymous" but
belonging to group G4?
