Hi Jose,

Thank you for the kind words. Much appreciated.

I'm working on the console right now and I will add a fix to the trunk, based on your suggestion. That way it will work out of the box for tomcat.

Thanks!

        Hello there:

First of all, thanks for replying and thank you very much for the terrific work you have done implementing jUDDI. Now, about the issue at hand, that is what I suspected: when someone finds the time to plug a proper SSO solution in there, then it will be done. Until then, my dirty hack will have to do.

        Best regards.

Hi Jose,

These reason this wasn't fully working is that to do it right we need a full fledged SSO solution. Since at the moment we are using tomcatSSO your solution is just fine. You should only have to log into the portal. The portlet login panel is there for when you want to run outside of a portal.

Cheers,

       Before:
*
       if* (username== *null* && user!= *null* ) {
               username = user.getName();
               password = "" ;

       After:

*if* ((username== *null* ) && (user!= *null* )) {
               username = user.getName();

               User tomcatUser = (User) user;   // Tomcat specific. Ouch!
               password = tomcatUser.getPassword();
       }

It is not portable, I don't like it, but it works. All in all, I wonder what the original developers had in mind to solve this issue in a more elegant way.

       Kind regards.

PS: for some reason, even though I can access the contents of the registry now, the LoginPanel is not shown. Maybe it was not meant to be.

       Hello again:

I have carried out a small test. I have changed the onModuleLoad() method of UDDIBrowser, making the LoginPanel visible from the beginning:

*public* *void* onModuleLoad() {
/singleton/ = *this* ;
               loginPanel = *new* LoginPanel( *this* );
               loginPanel .setVisible( *true* );

Then I have removed the initial invocation tot getToken in the LoginPanel constructor:

*public* LoginPanel(Login application) {
*super* ();
*this* . application = application;

               //getToken(null, null);

Besides, the login() method in UDDIBrowser has also been modified to always make the LoginPanel visible, just in case:

*public* *void* login() {
              String token = loginPanel .getToken();
*if* (token == *null* ) {
                       loginPanel .setVisible( *true* );
              } *else* {
                       loginPanel .setVisible( *true* );

The result of all of that is that the LoginPanel is shown within the UDDIBrowser portlet in the console and if I enter the username and password there, the contents of the registry are correctly shown.

However, I guess the point is to be able to use the login information that is typed when entering pluto to authenticate against jUDDI, without having to enter the username and password in every portlet. If that is the case, I guess the code in SecurityServiceImpl is just not finished. Could anyone comment if that is actually the case (being new to the project, I am just guessing).

      Kind regards.

Well, now I know why both user and password are null. Let's have a look at, for instance, class UDDIBrowser (org.apache.juddi.portlets.client). When that module loads, it creates a new LoginPanel (org.apache.juddi.portlets.client): *

     public* *void* onModuleLoad() {
/singleton/ = *this* ;
             loginPanel = *new* LoginPanel( *this* );
             loginPanel .setVisible( *false* );

And it is the constructor of LoginPanel that invocates its own getToken(user, password) method with both parameters as null:

*public* LoginPanel(Login application) {
*super* ();
*this* . application = application;
             getToken( *null* , *null* );
             [...]

Let's remember that the getToken(user, password) method is as follows:

*protected* *void* getToken(String user, String password) {
securityService .get(user, password, *new* AsyncCallback<SecurityResponse>()
             {
*public* *void* onFailure(Throwable caught) {
Window./alert/( "Error: " + caught.getMessage());
                     }
*public* *void* onSuccess(SecurityResponse response) {
*if* (response.isSuccess()) {
                                     token = response.getResponse();
publisherId = response.getUsername();
                                     application .login();
                             } *else* {
Window./alert/( "error: " + response.getMessage());
                             }
                     }
             });
     }

So on first invocation, the parameters sent to SecurityServiceImpl (org.apache.juddi.portlets.server.service) are always to be null. And that causes what I commented at the beginning of the thread (a token cannot be obtained). If that token was sucessfull obtained, the LoginPanel itself would be made visible in the login() method of UDDIBrowser:

*public* *void* login() {
             String token = loginPanel .getToken();
*if* (token == *null* ) {
                     loginPanel .setVisible( *true* );
             } *else* {
                     loginPanel .setVisible( *true* );
                     applicationPanel .setVisible( *true* );
                     applicationPanel .findAllBusiness();
             }
     }

And after that, you could specify a username and password with that LoginPanel, as can be observed in its onclick(Widget sender) method:

*public* *void* onClick(Widget sender) {
*if* (sender == tokenButton ) {
getToken( usernameBox .getText(), passwordBox .getText());
             } *else* {
                     System. /err/ .println( "undefined" );
             }
     }

And in that case, the username and password that are, at the end, sent to SecutiryServiceImpl, would not be null.

So, going back to where we started, it seems that on first invocation the username and password sent to method get(String, String) of SecurityServiceImpl are expected to be null and the credentials that are going to be sent to jUDDI itself should be gotten from the login information that was sent to Tomcat on the Pluto login page. Indeed, the username used there is obtained, bot not its password:

*public* SecurityResponse get(String username, String password) {
             HttpServletRequest request = getThreadLocalRequest();
             HttpSession session = request.getSession();
             [..]
             Principal user = request.getUserPrincipal();
             [..] *
             if* ((username== *null* ) && (user!= *null* )) {
                     username = user.getName();
                     password = "" ;
             }
             [..]
AuthToken authToken = login(username, password, session.getServletContext());
             [..]

All in all, is that a case of some functionality that is simply not implemented in the console (out of the box supporting some other authentication than JUDDIAuthenticator)?

     Kind regards.

     Hello:

That is a very good question, and that is exactly what I have been trying to find out as of late. It seems SecurityServiceImpl (org.apache.juddi.portlets.server.service) is being called from LoginPanel (org.apache.juddi.portlets.client). It wasn't easy to find it out, given that I had no idea about GWT. Anyway, this is the method in question:

*protected* *void* getToken(String user, String password) {

securityService .get(user, password, *new* AsyncCallback<SecurityResponse>()
            {
*public* *void* onFailure(Throwable caught) {
Window./alert/( "Error: " + caught.getMessage());
                    }

*public* *void* onSuccess(SecurityResponse response) {
*if* (response.isSuccess()) {
                                     token = response.getResponse();
publisherId = response.getUsername();
                                     application .login();
                            } *else* {
Window./alert/( "error: " + response.getMessage());
                            }
                    }
            });
    }

I have added a Window.alert at the beginning of that method and the parameters it is receiving are both null (user and password). I will keep working on this.

    Kind regards.

Being as I am new to this project, the reason for that may be obvious but, why is an empty value being assigned to the password variable in there?


Hi Jose,

I'm probably missing something really basic here, but why is username null?
