authenticate Action (Oracle Waveset 8.1.1 Resources Reference)

Oracle Waveset 8.1.1 Resources Reference

authenticate Action

Use the authentication action to authenticate user IDs/passwords against the customer’s database. If you do not define the authentication action, the resource cannot support pass-through authentication.

Context

The actionContext map contains the following entries:

Key	Value Type	Value Description
`conn`	java.sql.Connection	JDBC connection to the customer’s database
`adapter`	com.wavset.adapter.ScriptedJdbcResourceAdapter	Adapter instance
`action`	java.lang.String	The `authenticateUser` string
`id`	java.lang.String	Account ID of the user to authenticate
`password`	java.lang.String	The decrypted password to authenticate
`result`	java.util.Map	The script can add an entry with the `expired` key and a `Boolean.TRUE` value to indicate that the user’s password has expired.
`errors`	java.util.List	Initially, this value is an empty list. The script may add `java.lang.String` objects to this list if any errors are found during processing.
`trace`	com.waveset.adapter.Trace	Object used to trace execution. Scripts can use the methods of this class to make themselves “debuggable” in a customer environment.

Error Handling

If the script executes without failure, the ID and password are considered valid.

Any throw from within the script is considered an authentication failure.

If the script encounters any errors, the script may alias appropriate strings to the errors key. The presence of any items in the errors List is considered an authentication failure.
