You can access the value of the securityStatus property in any content page (JSP or .JHTML file). For example, in JSP code you could display the value using a dsp:valueof tag:

<dsp:valueof bean="/atg/userprofiling/Profile.securityStatus"/>

In JHTML:

<valueof bean="/atg/userprofiling/Profile.securityStatus"></valueof>

In actual use, you will typically want to compare the value of securityStatus to some minimum security level. The /atg/userprofiling/PropertyManager component has seven properties that correspond to the levels of securityStatus:

For example, the PropertyManager.securityStatusLogin property has a default value of 4, which is the value that Profile.securityStatus is set to if the user logs in manually under http protocol.

The following JSP example illustrates a typical use of securityStatus. The Compare servlet bean compares the value of securityStatus to the value of the securityStatusLogin property of the PropertyManager component. If the value of securityStatus is less than the value of securityStatusLogin, the user did not log in manually, so a login form is displayed. If the value of securityStatus is greater than or equal to the value of securityStatusLogin, the user has already manually logged in, so the requested content is displayed.

<dsp:droplet name="Compare">
  <dsp:param bean="Profile.securityStatus" name="obj1"/>
  <dsp:param bean="PropertyManager.securityStatusLogin" name="obj2"/>
  <dsp:oparam name="lessthan">
     <!-- send the user to the login form -->
     <dsp:include page="login_form.jsp"></dsp:include>
  </dsp:oparam>
  <dsp:oparam name="default">
     <!-- allow the user to proceed to the protected content -->
     <dsp:include page="protected_content.jsp"></dsp:include>
  </dsp:oparam>
</dsp:droplet>

Here is the same example in JHTML:

<droplet bean="Compare">
  <param name="obj1" value="bean:Profile.securityStatus">
  <param name="obj2" value="bean:PropertyManager.securityStatusLogin">
  <oparam name="lessthan">
     <!-- send the user to the login form -->
     <droplet src="login_form.jhtml"></droplet>
  </oparam>
  <oparam name="default">
     <!-- allow the user to proceed to the protected content -->
     <droplet src="protected_content.jhtml"></droplet>
  </oparam>
</droplet>
