AEM SDK Custom Authentication Handler

Avatar

Level 1

Hi Experts,

I have implemented a custom authentication handler MysiteAuthHandler in AEM SDK.

I want admin pages /content/mysite/admin (including child-pages) should be authenticated via custom authentication handler MysiteAuthHandler.

In admin page properties, I have enabled the Authentication Requirements and passing /content/mysite/login as a Login Page. Also, I have given permission to authors and administrators group.

On local Author instance it is working fine. On Publish /content/mysite/admin pages are redirecting to login page but the problem is when user clicks the submit button an error comes up.
http://localhost:4503/j_mysite_security_check Access to localhost was denied.

This is how code and configs looks like.

1. Adobe Granite Login Selector Authentication Handler

Login Mapping
/content/mysite/login:/content/mysite/admin

2. Apache Sling Authentication Service

auth.uri.suffix as /j_mysite_security_check

3. Apache Sling Login Admin Whitelist (enable whitelist)

4. loginForm

<form id="loginForm" method="POST" action="j_mysite_security_check">
Username: <input type="text" name="username" required />
Password: <input type="password" name="password" required />

<input type="submit" value="Login" />
<p style="color:red" data-sly-include="message.jsp"></p>

<input type="hidden" name="successPage" value="/content/mysite/welcome"/>
<input type="hidden" name="failurePage" value="/content/mysite/login"/>
</form>

5. MysiteAuthHandler

@component(service = AuthenticationHandler.class, immediate = true,
		property = {AuthenticationHandler.PATH_PROPERTY + "=/content/mysite"})
@ServiceDescription("Mysite Authentication Handler")
@ServiceRanking(60000)
public class MysiteAuthHandler implements AuthenticationHandler, AuthenticationFeedbackHandler {

	public AuthenticationInfo extractCredentials(...) {
		AuthenticationInfo authenticationInfo = null;
		if ("POST".equals(request.getMethod()) && request.getRequestURI().endsWith("/j_mysite_security_check")) {
			if (!AuthUtil.isValidateRequest(request))
				AuthUtil.setLoginResourceAttribute(request, request.getContextPath());

			final SimpleCredentials creds = new SimpleCredentials(request.getParameter("username"),
					request.getParameter("password").toCharArray());

			authenticationInfo = new AuthenticationInfo(HttpServletRequest.FORM_AUTH, creds.getUserID());
			authenticationInfo.put(JcrResourceConstants.AUTHENTICATION_INFO_CREDENTIALS, creds);
			authenticationInfo.put("user.name", request.getParameter("username"));
		}
		return authenticationInfo;
	}

	public boolean authenticationSucceeded(...) {
		if (null == authInfo)
			return false;

		response.sendRedirect(request.getParameter("successPage"));
		return true;
	}

	public void authenticationFailed(...) {
		response.sendRedirect(request.getParameter("failurePage") + "?message=loginFail");
	}
}

Below are the SlingAuthenticator logs from publish env.

If anyone has any pointers please share.

Kind Regards,

Hi @Jörg_Hoh,

I debugged and got to know that the `resource.resolver.mapping` in the project was not allowing this Authentication Handler to work. I updated the path to `/` and it worked.

Thanks

Can you check if your authenticator is even invoked (e.g. by adding some log statements in there)?

This message makes me think that the authenticator is not invoked.
