Patching GridSphere
In order to use credentials you have first to patch gridSphere so as to enable it to consume DILIGENT Credentials.
(info to be added...)
Using Credentials API
Available Methods
ExtendedGSSCredential getCredentials(PortletSession session)
- You should use this method if you want to retrieve the credential from the portlet.
- It returns a grid credential that you should pass to DIS or every other service that you want to use.
ExtendedGSSCredential getCredentials(HttpSession session)
- You should use this method if you want to retrieve the credential from the servlet.
- It returns a grid credential that you should pass to DIS or every other service that you want to use.
String getHttpScheme(String sessionID)
- It takes as parameter the sessionID.
- It returns the schema that the user uses in order to communicate with the portal (http / https).
String getCurrentTab(String sessionID)
- It takes as parameter the sessionID.
- It returns the name of user's current tab.
HashMap<String, String> getUserInfo(String sessionID)
- It takes as parameter the sessionID.
- It returns a HashMap with all the userInfo
String getDN(String sessionID)
- It takes as parameter the sessionID.
- It returns the DN of the user credential.
String getCA(String sessionID)
- It takes as parameter the sessionID.
- It returns the CA of the user credential.
String getCN(String sessionID)
- It takes as parameter the sessionID.
- It returns the CN of the user credential.
