AuthenticateUser always return false |
Wed, Mar 23 2016 6:36 PM | Permanent Link |
KimHJ Comca Systems, Inc | I'm unable to get past the AuthenticateUser in the EWBModuleExecute(Request: TEWBServerRequest).
I used the URL user=kim&password=mik because that is the only one where I get anything in the AppDatabaseAdapterAuthenticateUser. If I use HTTP basic Authentication the RequestUserName and RequestPassword are blank. procedure TEWBModule1.AppDatabaseAdapterAuthenticateUser( const RequestUserName, RequestPassword: string; var Authenticated: Boolean); begin if RequestUserName = 'kim' then begin if RequestPassword = 'mik' then Authenticated := True // it get to here else Authenticated := False; end else Authenticated := False; end; But here it is false: procedure TEWBModule1.EWBModuleExecute(Request: TEWBServerRequest); begin AppDatabaseAdapter.HandleRequest(Request,'customdatasets'); if AuthenticateUser(Request) then Always False even AppDatabaseAdapterAuthenticateUser returned True. Thanks for any help. |

It doesn't work that way, and HTTP basic authentication is as good as plain-text credentials as far as security is concerned. EWB relies on you using HTTPS (SSL/TLS) when sending credentials for authentication purposes. << But here it is false: procedure TEWBModule1.EWBModuleExecute(Request: TEWBServerRequest); begin AppDatabaseAdapter.HandleRequest(Request,'customdatasets'); if AuthenticateUser(Request) then Always False even AppDatabaseAdapterAuthenticateUser returned True. >> The problem is your event handler is for the TEWBDatabaseAdapter, but you're calling the AuthenticateUser method of the *module*. The two are separate methods/event handlers - one for the database/dataset adapter handling and one for the module. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

<< No, you can test it on your local server. What are you using for the front-end that is calling your module ? EWB ?>> I got it to work on the local server. I haven't found out how to enter the login name and password in a HTTP Get except adding it to the URL. Right now I'm using Postman but when finish two application will access the data EWB as the online user application for my customer and the iPhone and Android app for my customer's customers. I haven't tried yet because I haven't made app yet, but is't possible to test the phone apps using the local wireless network and the IP address of the local computer where the local webserver is running. I would have to open the port in the firewall. Thanks, Kim |

<< I got it to work on the local server. I haven't found out how to enter the login name and password in a HTTP Get except adding it to the URL. >> If you're using a straight-up TServerRequest, then you should add these two headers: X-EWBUser X-EWBPassword You can set them like this: MyServerRequest.RequestHeaders.Values['X-EWBUser']:=FUserName; MyServerRequest.RequestHeaders.Values['X-EWBPassword']:=FPassword; << I haven't tried yet because I haven't made app yet, but is't possible to test the phone apps using the local wireless network and the IP address of the local computer where the local webserver is running.
