How do we get current AEM author logged in user id in osgi service/handler

Avatar

Level 1

is there way to get current author logged in user in OSGI service/handler  where we don't have slingHttpRequest object.

sling servlet  easily current user id can get via below code (if i have logged to AEM author instance as testuser, USER id gives here testuser)

ResourceResolver resourceResolver = request.getResourceResolver();

session = resourceResolver.adaptTo(Session.class);

String userId = session.getUserID()

LOGGER.info("USER ID :" + userID);

but if same things trying to get in customhandler class which implement AuthenticationFeedbackHandler ,where we don't have slinghttpservletrequest, we have HttpServletRequest.

public boolean authenticationSucceeded(HttpServletRequest request,

HttpServletResponse response, AuthenticationInfo authInfo) {

tried below code, t's give system user id i.e test

Map<String, Object> param = new HashMap<String, Object>();

        param.put(ResourceResolverFactory.SUBSERVICE, "test");

resolver = resourceResolverFactory.getServiceResourceResolver(param);

Session session = resolver.adaptTo(Session.class);

userId = resolver.getUserID();

LOGGER.info("USER ID :" + userId);

LOGGER.info("Session USER ID :" + session.getUserID());

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If i use getAdministractiveresoolver method, it's give user id as admin

adminResolver = resourceResolverFactory.getAdministrativeResourceResolver(null);

Session adminsession = adminResolver.adaptTo(Session.class);

userID = adminsession.getUserID();

LOGGER.info("USER ID :" + userID);

}

You identified the way --

Session session = resourceResolver.adaptTo(Session.class);
session.getUserID();

more details -- session - AEM - get current UserId - Stack Overflow

To use  this Session session = resourceResolver.adaptTo(Session.class);

need resourceResolver object which can get it via ResourceResolverFactory ,

below source code to get resource resolver , need to pass param object which will have system user.

resourcerResolver = resourceResolverFactory.getServiceResourceResolver(param);

Session session = resourcerResolver.adaptTo(Session.class);

session.getUserID();  // this give system user id

below code  getAdministrativeResourceResolver method to get resourceResolver,

resourceResolver  = resourceResolverFactory.getAdministrativeResourceResolver(null);

Session session = resourcerResolver.adaptTo(Session.class);

session.getUserID(); // this gives admin user id

any other alternative solution where method have HttpServletRequest

Make a call to /libs/cq/security/userinfo.json in your code after you are loggedin.

Were you able to figure this out ? I am also trying to figure out how to get user ID from HttpServletRequest.

We can directly get the user id from request attribute. Try below line of code.

request.getAttribute("org.osgi.service.http.authentication.remote.user");

Hope this works!

Hi, 

 

I am getting null for this when i try to get the User using the above method. 

 

What i have is request after OAuth authentication is completed. I had to implement custom Authentication handler and in that we have only HttpServletRequest.

 

To do some processing after the login, request comes back in to Authentication handler, i check for login-token and if it is present i need to write custom business logic. At this point i am unable to get User ID. 

 

Let me know with any thoughts

Hi @trc41594544 

The above line of code will only work for SlingHttpServletRequest. Try getting HttpSession fromHttpServletRequest and print and check if the user information is set in session or else Cookies.

I do not see anything in Session . Only thing in cookies i see after the login is "login-token". There is no other user related information. 

 

I am also wondering if there is a way to get user id from login-token . I am not able to yet find a way to do that. 

 

Let me know with any thoughts

 

Thanks
