Re: Get JahiaDBUser on Portlets

Hi KT,

I would like to thank you for your quick reply.

What i really need to do is develop a web interface (portlet JSR168) to
access an authentication and authorization (using roles - user can access
portlet if he has roles, and can access enterprise content if he has rights
to do that) webservice, that is running on jboss. So i need to authenticate
on webservice, and i would like to use the same login/password. I can
"force" user to insert login/password inside portlet, but if you could see
anyway to do this, i would thank you...
So... on jahia, can you see a way to authenticate on jboss with same jahia
login/pass?

But Khaled... why i get a "org.jahia.services.usermanager.JahiaDBUser" when
i log request.getUserPrincipal().getClass()? I shoudn't get Principal class?


Regards,

Ricardo Ferreira
