Storing username in database by passing request parameter

Hi All,

I have been trying to accomplish this task of storing username in database by passing request parameter as:

<include>/request/parameters/parameter[name='username']</include>

<username><xsl:value-of select="$request/parameters/parameter[name='username']"/></username>)

to crud.xpl but the values are not getting stored.

I have went through most of the posts related to the same issue but have not found any satisfactory reply. Java Authentication sample, however, stores the username but using /request/remote-user not /request/headers/header.

Can anyone help me on this.

Thanks

Pasha

Pasha,

In recent builds of Orbeon Forms, the header "Orbeon-Username" is
passed to the persistence layer automatically.

It contains the current user name, based on the user principal
obtained from the servlet API, or based on incoming headers (if
oxf.fr.authentication.method is set to the value "header").

Re: Storing username in database by passing request parameter

Erik,

I have been trying to accomplish this using Orbeon 3.9 but the results are the same, ORBEON-USERNAME does not seem to get stored in the database, using BASIC HTTP AUTHENTICATION or FORM BASED AUTHENTICATION either.

Thanks

Pasha,

Support for Orbeon-Username is not present in that build. You will
have to use a nightly build.
