i suppose it's a fragment of a XPL pipelines. It defines an input
parameter passed to that pipeline:

RE: Re: RE: Re: <p:param type="input" name="instance"/>

Hi,
I use the sample application '/java-authentication/' for user authentication.

________________________________________
tomcat-user.xml (Users in Tomcat)

<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="orbeon-admin"/>
<user name="orbeon" password="orbeon" roles="orbeon-admin"/>

</form-login-config>
</login-config>

<security-role>
<role-name>orbeon-admin</role-name>
</security-role>
...

Trying to access the list of forms of 'Orbeon Builder' (which is shown by 'Orbeon Runner') http://[localhost]/orbeon/fr/orbeon/builder/summary, goes to the authentication form in the url '/java-authentication/', right, is the expected behavior, once authenticated, is once again the summary page of 'Orbeon Builder ".

- Image: Login Form by the app '/java-authentication/
- Image: User info displayed by the app '/java-authentication/'
- Image: Session in Tomcat for the user authenticated (smaran)
- Image: Details of the session in Tomcat for the user

So far all right, but although there is an authenticated user in the context '/ orbeon' in Tomcat, 'Form Runner' or 'Form Builder' shows no reference to the user, or when you create or modify forms, data is not saved user in the 'USERNAME' table 'ORBEON_FORM_DATA', which remains empty although there is an authenticated user.

Why this is happening.
Regards,
Smaran

Smaran,

i suppose the important line is

<xforms:setvalue ref="instance('fr-authentication-headers')/header[@name
= 'username']/@value" value="xxforms:get-remote-user()"/>

It tries to determine the user using the function xxforms:get-remote-user(). (1)

If the function doesn't return a user name, it's most likely that the request doesn't contain authentication data, maybe because the requested resource didn't require authentication. So, to narrow down the problem i would start with the tomcat configuration - is authentication set up correctly, does the request fail if no authentication information is given? Using, for example, an AccessLogValve (2) could be useful to determine if a remote user was authenticated (using u%).

it seems that crud.xpl doesn't use the container authentication data;
this may be a bug.

If i understand crud.xpl correctly, the username value is set in line 82
of /src/resources/apps/fr/perssistence/oracle/crud.xpl or line 64
of /src/resources/apps/fr/perssistence/mysql/crud.xpl, respectively. In
both cases, the output of /request/headers/header[name =
'orbeon-username']/value is used, assuming that this header field
contains the user name.

But the name of the authenticated user isn't availbe
in /request/headers/header[name = 'orbeon-username']/value. The path
should be /request/remote-user, i assume. AFAIK, "orbeon-username"
appears only in the both crud.xpl files, but nowhere else in the
sources. The docs of the request generator don't mention a header field
named "orbeon-username" or "orbeon-roles" or "orbeon-datasource":
http://www.orbeon.com/orbeon/doc/processors-generators-request#d30e37

You could try to change crud.xpl manually to use the name of the
authenticated user as username; i've attached a patch. Since i don't use
SQL persistence, i wasn't able to test i myselft, and i don't know which
other effects may be caused by this chance.

Smaran,

i can't help with the error message without knowing the _complete_
crud.xpl. The error contains a line number which is useless without the
complete file.

> <xsl:copy-of select="doc('input:instance')"/>
> </document>

hmm - this fragment shows two username entries, not one. I would
recommend to remove the first username entry containing the reference to
orbeon-username.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: <p:param type="input" name="instance"/>

Hi,
Trust me I am struggling from 5 days breaking my head why username is not getting stored in database.
Now I am able to see the user name in data base(got confused with patch you attached which contains username entry twice).Actually I want user-id also to be inserted in database. Like I need to add column userID.Is that possible. If so please tell me where I need to modify the code exactly.so that we can go ahead and close this poc before we purchase your
PE of orbeon

hmm - this fragment shows two username entries, not one. I would recommend to remove the first username entry containing the reference to orbeon-username.

to guard against misunderstandings, i can't speak for orbeon, i'm just a
simple user trying to assist you. So i can't promise that it's possible
to implement any feature.

Regarding the user ID: the easier part would be to modify the
persistence layer (adapting the db scheme and the crud.xpl). In
crud.xpl, the sql commands are created based on literals and modified
using XSLT. Basically, crud.xpl calls the SQL processor (1), offering a
very flexible way to connect OF with SQL databases. To make an
additional db column accesible, you just could insert another sql:param
element in lines 356-372 of crud.xpl.

But i can't tell you how to handle that data in FormBuilder /
FormRunner, because i don't use FB/FR in my own XForms application, so i
don't know where the data structures are defined inside FB/FR.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: <p:param type="input" name="instance"/>

In reply to this post by fl.schmitt(ops-users)

Hi,
For Authentication Instead of j_security I had written my own servlet.And I am taking username and password from
User and setting that in request.In crud.xpl I am trying to acess this user name as below.
<include>/request/attributes</include>

<username><xsl:value-of select="$request/username"/></username>

But user name is stored as null in database can any one correct me whts wrong in my approach.
I am adding the crud.xpl of mine
Reagrds,
Smaran

it seems that crud.xpl doesn't use the container authentication data; this may be a bug.

If i understand crud.xpl correctly, the username value is set in line 82 of /src/resources/apps/fr/perssistence/oracle/crud.xpl or line 64 of /src/resources/apps/fr/perssistence/mysql/crud.xpl, respectively. In both cases, the output of /request/headers/header[name = 'orbeon-username']/value is used, assuming that this header field contains the user name.

But the name of the authenticated user isn't availbe in /request/headers/header[name = 'orbeon-username']/value. The path should be /request/remote-user, i assume. AFAIK, "orbeon-username"
appears only in the both crud.xpl files, but nowhere else in the sources. The docs of the request generator don't mention a header field named "orbeon-username" or "orbeon-roles" or "orbeon-datasource":
http://www.orbeon.com/orbeon/doc/processors-generators-request#d30e37

You could try to change crud.xpl manually to use the name of the authenticated user as username; i've attached a patch. Since i don't use SQL persistence, i wasn't able to test i myselft, and i don't know which other effects may be caused by this chance.
