Hello,
I was following this article and I got stuck on few thing I could not find explained in docs. Basically I am trying to implement SSO with external system. My meta code is present here: Thingworx custom auth.
Simply put I would like to implement this functionality:
public void authenticate(HttpServletRequest httpRequest, HttpServletResponse httpResponse) throws AuthenticatorException {
// Check if user exists, if not create him with name this.user.
// Check if this.groups exist and if not add them with no permissions.
// Check this.user membership in groups by this.groups and add or remove him accordingly.
// Login user.
this.setCredentials(WebsealAuth.user);
}
I was trying to experiment like this:
User usr = (User)EntityUtilities.findEntity("Test", ThingworxRelationshipTypes.Users);
and
EntityServices es = new EntityServices();
InfoTable it = es.GetEntityList("User", null, null, 1.0);
es.CreateUser(username, "User Desc.", null, "randompassword");
with no luck, getting only null. What am I doing wrong?
Any tips and improvements on code or debugging flows (same problems) are welcomed.
Problem is pretty straight forward, so in case of comprehensive solution, we can probably use this as example for future reference somewhere.
Best regards Jan.
