Class PPMUserService

java.lang.Object

com.fgm.formbuilder.database.PPMUserService

public class PPMUserService
extends java.lang.Object

A RemoteObject service for PPM and PPA to authenticate users. Two methods are available. The standard login(username, password) method returns the result of querying for a username and matching encrypted password. The clear text password should be sent to the method. The less standard attemptAutoLogin() method checks the user's session for a com.fgm.security.pki.CredentialsBase object which must be first placed there by a servlet filter to be used. The method compares the current user's credentials stored on the session against saved user_DN's in the database, if a match is found that user is returned.
