 No, if the* subject-identifier-step *is not completed, this method
 will return the subject of the lastly authenticated step. if 
 *subject-identifier-step
 *is completed, it will return the subject of the
 *subject-identifier-step.*

 So, I think the name lastSubject can be meant as lastly authenticated
 steps' subject.

Re: [Architecture] Methods to get currentSubject and currentStep in authentication script

2018-07-20 Thread Pulasthi Mahawithana 
Hi Senthalan,

Shall we have it something like, 'context.currentKnownSubject'? That would
imply that it returns the subject value from what it knows by the time of
execution.

Re: [Architecture] Methods to get currentSubject and currentStep in authentication script

2018-07-18 Thread Senthalan Kanagalingam 
Hi Harshan,

No, when configuring the authentication steps, we can specify any step
as subject-identifier-step. There will be no relationship
between subject-identifier-step and last-authenticated-step.

thanks

 Hi all,

 I am working on to get the currently authenticated subject and
 currently executing step from the authentication script. Now, if the
 identity admin wants to get the authenticated subject, he/she has to know
 which step was set as the subject identifier step and have to call,
 "context.step[].subject".

 So, we have planned to implement a method as,

 *context.currentSubject *

 which will return the subject of the "subject identifier step", if that
 step is completed. Else return the subject of the last completed step.

 Another implementation is to have a method to get the currently exected
 method. Currently, identity admin has to specify the step number in order
 to get the details. "context.step[]". This will affect the
 reusability of the code.

 With this new implementation, the identity admin can use,

 *context.currentStep*

 which will return the executing step.

 Please share your comments on the naming of the methods.

 thanks,
 Senthalan.
