Custom Authentication Failing Ajax

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

I have written a custom Authentication based on Sling form based Authentication. I followed http://www.wemblog.com/2013/03/how-to-create-custom-authentication.html article  to do that. I am trying to invoke the handler with Ajax call and it seems like the call is never going into the handler.

But if i invoke it with CURL it invokes fine and gives me response i expect. Below CURL is being used. My Handler expects Json input of username and password.

curl -i -X POST -d '{"username":"admin","password":"admin","keepLoggedIn":true}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' localhost:4503/j_mycustom_security_check

The Ajax call that i am doing is :

var username = "admin"; var password = "admin"; var apiURL = "http://localhost:4503/content/j_mycustom_security_check" var jsonPayload = { username: username, password: password }; $.ajax({ url: apiURL, type: "POST", data: JSON.stringify(jsonPayload), contentType: "application/json", success : function(data, status, xhr) { console.log("sucess"+status); }, error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) { console.log('error'+thrownError); } });

I can see the handler in handlers tab and i have added the j_mycustom_security_check in Sling Authenticator service in OSGI. Can anybody point out how can i resolve this? Thanks in advance.

When i keep the apiURL param as 

http://localhost:4503/content/j_mycustom_security_check

i get 403 Forbidden response, while if i use 

http://localhost:4503/content/j_mycustom_security_check.html i get success 200 always. However, in both cases my Authentication code is not getting invoked. But in case of curl it does.

Hi,

I solved this my changing the preference of my custom authentication handler service ranking parameter. Token Authentication handle was rejecting the request and therefore the request wasn't entering my handler. However, once that was changed i got a 500 error. After that i had to change the path for the handler. Earlier this handler was accepting all the path i.e. root path (/), i changed it to my application specific path and all was good.
