authenticating against OFBiz

[Rajesh Mallah]

Hi ,

How do we authenticate a 'username' and 'password' ( plain text
user-inputted)
against OFBiz UserLogin. Is there any Webservice for that which just returns
boolean or reply in any format  about the combination ( auth was failure or
success).

Hi Rajesh,

In order to authenticate a 'USERNAME' and 'PASSWORD', You can refer to
service "userLogin".

Hello Praveen/List ,

Thanks for the response but it has proved bit tricky to me and I have not
been
able to get it working .

I am reproducing below the argument notes for this service.


isServiceAuth          True     Boolean                                 IN
       False
locale                 True     java.util.Locale
INOUT     True
login.password         True     String                                  IN
       True
login.username         True     String                                  IN
       True
timeZone               True     java.util.TimeZone
INOUT     True
userLogin              True     org.apache.ofbiz.entity.GenericValue
INOUT     True
visitId                True     String                                  IN
       False


Are we supposed to specify the username and password
in 'login.username' and 'login.password' respectively or in 'userLogin' ?


if it is the latter it is very difficult owning to

Rajesh,

You need to pass the login.username and login.password strings
respectively. The service will out the userLogin object which can be used
in further communication if required, or simply use it to login into the
application.

Hello Mr Rishi ,

the context is XML/RPC so i am not sure how to trap the OUT param.

Its a remote application that will maintain its own user session  post
a successful Auth or username and password.

I have been happily using webservices that respond back with basic types
like strings or numbers and compound types like Maps and Lists

mallah.

userLogin object is of type generic value (key:value pair) and another
object userLoginSession also out from the service. I think both can be
easily mapped to Map or easily converted if not directly.
