RE: Application client log in

[peter_saurugger]

You use the rolemanager to do the login ... SECURITY_PRINCIPAL and credentials can be the orion admin account.     Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); env.put("dedicated.connection","true"); env.put("java.naming.factory.initial","com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory"); env.put("java.naming.provider.url","ormi://myhost/myapp"); env.put(javax.naming.Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "someuserwithrmiprivilages");    // NOT the user you want to log in env.put(javax.naming.Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,"somepassword");     InitialContext initialcontext = new InitialContext(env);         RoleManager rolemanager = (RoleManager)initialcontext.lookup("java:comp/RoleManager");         try         {             roleManager.login(username, password);         }         catch(Exception exception)         {             throw new SecurityException(exception.getMessage());         }   There is a lot of discussion about this in the archives and e.g. on the Elephantwalkers site, as well as orionsupport and I think Atlassian. -----Original Message----- From: Randahl Fink Isaksen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 8:22 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Application client log in We are currently implementing a Java Swing client, and I am wondering how to write the log in system. When not using http or form based log in (HTML) and when you wish to let the client log in from a GUI interface (Swing), which part of Orion is then used to hand over the username and password for authorization?     Randahl
