Web Proxy Portlet Usage

Table of Contents

Dynamic Parameters in Location URL

The parameters need to be included in the portlet definitions as user attributes. Once there, you can add them to the URL by surrounding them in curly braces. The userInfoUrlParameterizingPreInterceptor preInterceptor must be used.

For example, say you want to add ihe user's ID in the location URL.

Add the attribute to the portlet definition:

    <user-attribute>
        <description>User ID</description>
        <name>user.login.id</name>
    </user-attribute>

Then add "{user.login.id}" in the URL as needed:

location: http://localhost:8080/test{user.login.id}

Make sure userInfoUrlParameterizingPreInterceptor is in the preInterceptors list:

preInteceptors: userInfoUrlParameterizingPreInterceptor

Portlet definition snippets for the previous two preferences:

    <portlet-preference>
        <name>location</name>
        <readOnly>false</readOnly>
        <value>http://localhost:8080/test{user.login.id}</value>
    </portlet-preference>
    <portlet-preference>
        <name>preInterceptors</name>
        <readOnly>false</readOnly>
        <value>userInfoUrlParameterizingPreInterceptor</value>
    </portlet-preference>
    ...
    <user-attribute>
        <description>User ID</description>
        <name>user.login.id</name>
    </user-attribute>

Basic Authentication Based On User Attributes

Basic Authentication with user values is implemented with UserInfoBasicAuthenticationPreInterceptor. The user values for ID and password need to be added to the portlet definition. Then, BASIC authentication interceptor will use them.

    <portlet-preference>
        <name>preInterceptors</name>
        <readOnly>false</readOnly>
        <value>UserInfoBasicAuthenticationPreInterceptor</value>
    </portlet-preference>
    ...
    <user-attribute>
        <description>User ID</description>
        <name>user.login.id</name>
    </user-attribute>
    <user-attribute>
        <description>User Password</description>
        <name>password</name>
    </user-attribute>

If other user attributes are used for authentication, then you can add those attributes and then configure WPP to use them:

    <portlet-preference>
        <name>preInterceptors</name>
        <readOnly>false</readOnly>
        <value>UserInfoBasicAuthenticationPreInterceptor</value>
    </portlet-preference>
    ...
    <portlet-preference>
        <name>usernameKey</name>
        <readOnly>false</readOnly>
        <value>userGoogleAcct</value>
    </portlet-preference>
    <portlet-preference>
        <name>usernamePassword</name>
        <readOnly>false</readOnly>
        <value>userGooglePassword</value>
    </portlet-preference>
    ...
    <user-attribute>
        <description>Google ID</description>
        <name>userGoogleAcct</name>
    </user-attribute>
    <user-attribute>
        <description>Google Password</description>
        <name>userGooglePassword</name>
    </user-attribute>
