Automatic Login In alfresco

pankajnegi

Hello,
How to login in alfresco share or alfresco explorer automatically ,
like whenever any one goes to the url.

or can we do alfresco always logged in for a particular user.

Issue: In my case I want to use alfresco for repository.so through other application I want to access the link of alfresco to upload the document in a particular folder,for that I wants alfresco to be logged in automatically

I don't want to use SSO , because repository space is common.

Please suggest me

Thanks

If you want to use SSO then it will not exactly the same case.
You will be fetching the user information from the request header and then need to authenticate user in filter inside alfresco.

I mean to say that whenever we hit a url (http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/demo/webscript) it should login the user

it goes through java code and start the user session in browser

package autoLogin;

import java.io.IOException;


import org.alfresco.webservice.util.AuthenticationDetails;
import org.alfresco.webservice.util.AuthenticationUtils;
import org.alfresco.webservice.util.WebServiceFactory;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.AbstractWebScript;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptException;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptRequest;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptResponse;


public class AutoLogin extends AbstractWebScript{
    boolean logged = false;
   private static Logger log  = Logger.getLogger("AutoLogin");
    public void execute(WebScriptRequest req, WebScriptResponse res)
              throws IOException
    {
      
      
       JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
      
       
       WebServiceFactory.setEndpointAddress("http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api");
       
       try
        {
          
       
       AuthenticationUtils.startSession("admin", "admin",10000);
      // AuthenticationUtils.startSession("", "","" );
       AuthenticationDetails authenticationDetails = AuthenticationUtils.getAuthenticationDetails();
       if(AuthenticationUtils.isCurrentTicketTimedOut())
       {
          obj.put("Already Logged in", "");
          obj.put("User:"+authenticationDetails.getUserName()+"Session ID:"+authenticationDetails.getSessionId()+"Ticket :"+authenticationDetails.getTicket()+"Time Out Interval:"+authenticationDetails.getTimeoutInterval(),"OK");
       }
       else{
          obj.put("Not Logged in", "");
          if (authenticationDetails != null) {
          logged = true;
             try {
                 obj.put("User:"+authenticationDetails.getUserName()+"Session ID:"+authenticationDetails.getSessionId()+"Ticket :"+authenticationDetails.getTicket()+"Time Out Interval:"+authenticationDetails.getTimeoutInterval(),"OK");
             } catch (JSONException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
               }
            //log.info("isLoggedIn, logged in user : [" + userName + "]");
          } else {
         //log.info("isLoggedIn, Not logged in");
          try {
              obj.put("isLoggedIn, Not logged in","no");
         } catch (JSONException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
         e.printStackTrace();
          }
         }
       }
             
              
          // build a json object
          
         
          // put some data on it
          obj.put("field1", "data1");
         
          // build a JSON string and send it back
          String jsonString = obj.toString();
          res.getWriter().write(jsonString);
           }
           catch(JSONException e)
           {
           throw new WebScriptException("Unable to serialize JSON");
           }
      
      

    }
