Login from custom page

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi! I've a custom form login which should be able to login a user into jforum. I don't wanna enable SSO. There is a method to send username, passoword, automatic login values from customized form to jforum's login mechanism?

In theory this would work, if you used the same action, included the hidden fields, and used the same field names as the default login form does.

An alternative would be to modify the forum_login.htm template to be your custom login screen.

It works!

Next step: there is an hidden field

<input type="hidden" name="returnPath"...

which is used, i suppose, on successful login redirection. In this case, how can i pass to "returnPath" username and password fields used in previous form?

You could use a JavaScript "onsubmit" event on the form that would modify the returnPath URL to include parameters based on what the user entered.

Alternatively, you could modify the "action" code that processes the form to do this.

Can you explain it with an example?

Some quick, not tested code... would be:

<script language="javascript">
fuction submitHandler( form ) {
   var url = form.returnURL.value;
   var user = form.userid.value;
   var pwd = form.pwd.value;
   form.returnURL.value = url + "?user="+user+"&pwd="+pwd;
   return true;
}
</script>
<form onsubmit="submitHandler( this ); " ...>
  <input name="userid" type=text>
  <input name="pwd" type=password>
  <input name="returnURL" type=hidden value="xxx">
  <input name="submit" type="submit">
</form>

Your code seems to work, this is my implementation

<form class="form" onsubmit="submitHandler(this)" action="/forum/jforum.page"....
>
<input type="hidden" name="returnPath" value="http://localhost:8080/loginservlet" />

so, jforum.page redirects a call to loginservlet which is

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
		String username = (String) request.getParameter("username");
		String password = (String) request.getParameter("password");
		
		request.getSession().setAttribute("isLogged", new Boolean(true));
		request.getSession().setAttribute("username", username);
        
                response.sendRedirect("/index.jsp");
	}

and it works fine! Thank you very very much!

What you are asking about is know here as Single Sign On (or SSO). jForum has an API that can be used to create a SSO class to match your existing application.

Look at the (somewhat outdated) docs here:

http://www.jforum.net/doc/SSO

Also check out my bookmarks for some SSO discussions and code examples.

http://www.jforum.net/bookmarks/list/2198.page

Finally, just do some searching thru the site for SSO topics.

If you still need info, start a new topic with your requests (this one doesn't really imply SSO.. but you didn't know that when you posted..)
