Getting username and organization for a logged inn user.

Hi.

Im struggling to find out how I can get username, organization, given name, etc for the logged in user. Id like to do this from both a portlet and a provider. The userInfo portlet seams to do this, but I cant figure out how it is done.

Any one who has some example code?

Best regards,

Kristian

Hi!

You need the HttpServletRequest or the tokenid, here is some sample sourcecode:

SSOTokenManager manager = SSOTokenManager.getInstance();

SSOToken token = manager.createSSOToken(request);

if (manager.isValidToken(token))

{

/* get user dn */

String userDN = token.getPrincipal().getName();

String userName = userDN.substring(userDN.indexOf("=")+1,userDN.indexOf(","));

// And so on

To get more information use AMStoreConnection to get the AMUser Object:

AMStoreConnection amsc = new AMStoreConnection(ssotoken);

if (amsc.doesEntryExist(uDN)) {

AMUser user = amsc.getUser(uDN);

// From user you can get any attributes you need...

}

Here is the documentation:

Hi Chris.

Thanks for quick response.

Ive tried using the SSOTokenManager, but I get two quite different problems I cant figure out.

If you know about a fix for any of the following I'd be very happy.

1. Using SSOTokenManager from a portlet: a portles uses javax.portlet.RenderRequest, not javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest. I cant use the portlet.RenderRequest as a parameter in createSSOToken(request);

2. Using SSOTokenManager from a provider: Seams to work, but when I try package the provider (I use Sun Java Studio Enterprice 8) I get errors:
