How to check current password in sdk structs portlet

[Madhava Reddy Solipuram, módosítva 12 év-val korábban]

Hi all,

I am developing change password application. In that i am capturing current password, new password, re-enter password,
I am able to update the new password. But i don't know how to check the current password is valid or not,
because i can't use PwdAuthenticator.authenticate(login, currentPassword, user.getPassword()); class in sdk portlet.
Is there any other way to check the current password is valid or not.

Please suggest me.

Use

  int oldPwdAuth = 0;
  Map headerMap = new HashMap();
  Map parameterMap = portletRequest.getParameterMap();
int oldPwdAuth = UserLocalServiceUtil.authenticateByEmailAddress(user.getCompanyId(), user.getLogin(), password, headerMap, parameterMap);

If oldPwdAuth =1 it means your old password is correct

Thanks Jitendra,

It solved my problem, basically i want to compare current password(which is entered while changing the password) and DB password.

If i understand properly you want password value right?
IF its like that then you can not get existing password value in decrypted format as this is security concern here.
In Liferay when you create or reset a password then only you will have password value so that you can send it through mail.
or else you liferay doesn't have any API available which will give you password value without encryption.

Jignesh..we can not get password from DB .for any user...

But we can get logged in user's password from request..

PortalUtil.getUserPassword(request)
