How to validate credentials from a form in Adobe EM 6.1 (Login funcionality)

[verónicag220394]

Hi all,

I'm new in Adobe EM so I'd really appreciate some help. I have a custom login form (.jsp) where the username/password are requested. I would like to validate this credentials against repository. 

Is there any sample/documentation that I can check to do this? 

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Best regards.

Check login component OOTB. It has login.jsp which makes http call for the authentication and also login.

Locations of the files:

/libs/foundation/components/login

/libs/cq/core/content/login

Thanks Jitendra!

I have a custom form so I thought I would need custom code to validate the user and I couldn't use OOTB but I'll check the files you mention. 

Best regards.

Hi,

The way I used to do validation was like below :

String login = decodedStr.substring(0, p).trim(); String password = decodedStr.substring(p + 1).trim(); Credentials credentials = new SimpleCredentials(login,password.toCharArray()); Session session = repository.login(credentials);

The login and password I have used is from some string. you can modify as per your requirement os simply user username and password coming in form or from wherever you desire and after this all you have to do is check the session.
