[SOLVED] Passing User Name and Password to an IFrame

[Branden Boucher, modificado hace 14 años.]

I have been researching how to pass the user name and password to an IFrame and I noticed three issues.

First, if there are multiple IFrames on one page and one of them is switched to use Form authentication, the other IFrames on the page are also affected and they all try to show the same page. Is there a fix for this?

Second, even when you are just testing and only have one IFrame on the page that is switched to use basic authentication, you have to hard code in the login. If you switch to Form type authentication, there is no way to pass in the user name and password (or even just the user name) that was used by the user when he/she logged in to liferay. I did notice an updated proxy.jsp had been created and I tried using that, but it did not work. And that is where the Third issue comes in.

Third, when I tried to use the updated proxy.jsp file and it didn't work, I backed up the file and tried modifying it to throw in some test code. I then noticed when I tried to revert back to the backup file, the debug info still showed up. I later found the code modifications I had made inside of a proxy_jsp.class file. I am really worried that if I tried to make more changes, I will not be able to revert back to a backup. Can someone explain what is going on here?

Please help me on these issues as they are stopping us from continuing on with some intended projects for Liferay.

I know that there are some other threads on some of these issues but I have not found my answers yet. Anyone else out there in the same boat?

I am having a similar issue. I am in an iFrame, using form auth, method POST. I am getting the username but the password is coming up blank.


field name: username value: @email_address@
field name: password value: @password@


result:

username: [e-mail]
password:

I experience the same issue. Anyone filled a bug report or it's a known bug/security feature?

Thanks

I too noticed this. It's because the "password" field is filled in from session data, and so you have to enable the password to be stored in the session before this field will be correctly filled in.

So set session.store.password=true in your portal-ext.properties.

I don't find my file "portal-ext.properties" where is it ?

You have to create it under \ROOT\WEB-INF\classes
Try googling around because it's been written in books, wiki, and serveral forum posts already.

Ok, i've my portal-ext.properties , and after i write just this :

session.store.password=true

And after ?

https://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.1/user-guide/-/ai/configuring-liferay-s-properties

And you'll have to restart Liferay in order to pick up these changes

So, if i'm good understand , for use @password@ , it's enough to put "session.store.password=true" ?
beacause it doesn't work....

Make sure you created portal-ext.properties, not portal-ext.properties.txt if you're on windows and hide your file extensions by default.

You can check if the setting is active by checking it in ControlPanel under "Server/ServerAdministration/portal properties".

The setting is active in ControlPanel but it doesn't work , i don't understand why.

My portal-ext.properties :

session.shared.attributes=org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE,COMPANY_,USER_,LIFERAY_SHARED_,USER_PASSWORD
session.shared.attributes.excludes=
session.store.password=true
session.test.cookie.support=true
session.enable.phishing.protection=false

It work Thanks all

How did it Work for you? Please give me the complete solution. I'm currently working on the Iframe. I'm using Liferay portal 6.2 CE.
Should I change in the Portal-ext.properties.

[Mohamed rizwanuzaman, modificado hace 12 años.]

What exactly i am looking for. Thanks..Its working. One quick update. If we enable session storing the password any secuirty issue will be there?

[liu sam, modificado hace 12 años.]

[Justin Jiang, modificado hace 10 años.]

I am trying to add an iFrame to a portlet, but I need to pass the user roles that the Liferay user has to the page that I am embedding with the iFrame. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you!

[michael hamlett, modificado hace 9 años.]

I am on Liferay 6.2
using IFRAME and passing Form Variables
@screen_name@ works
@user_id@ does not work
@email_address@ does not work

in authentication type i put FORM
in form method i put POST
in field name i use Username
in Value i put @screen_name@
this method works

if you use Value of anything else all you get when you retrieve the form variable is the text you put in the VALUE column

Liferay you need to fix this

Thanks, Its working correctly now.
