Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding the login workflow when using Apache Syncope
with the SyncopeClientFactoryBean. In my Jakarta EE application, If I
instantiate my Syncope client as follows:
SyncopeClient client = new SyncopeClientFactoryBean().
setAddress(BASE_URL). create("admin", "password");
What I would like to know is how the authentication process works in this
context. For example, when a user wants to log in by providing a username
and password, what is the flow of the login process?
More specifically:
- Which methods of the Syncope client are called to perform the
authentication?
- How does Syncope process the provided username and password? Is there an
explicit call to a method (e.g., login())?
- Once authentication is successful, does Syncope return a response
containing a token and/or the user’s roles, thereby allowing us to
determine whether a user has access to certain parts of the website?
I would like to understand the complete flow so that I can properly
integrate this process into my authentication module.
Any help or references to the relevant documentation would be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
