Security System in Liferay

false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

Here’s a brief outline of how you can use your own security system in Liferay.

• Create your own PermissionChecker class that extends Liferay’s PermissionChecker class.

• Register this new class in portal.properties (or portal-ext.properties for the EXT environment) under the permissions.checker property.

• Override the hasUserPermission(…) method and the hasGuestPermission(…) method with your

own calls to your permission system.

• You can call the setValues(…) method to pull in parameters from the request object that your permission

checker might need (e.g., userId, projected, etc).

• You can call the resetValues(…) method to wipe out old parameters.

• Override the isAdmin(…) method.

The unique id associated with this portlet is 48. The IFramePortlet class extends javax.portlet.GenericPortlet.

The source [http://content.liferay.com/document/api/portal-ejb/com/liferay/portlet/IFramePortlet.java.html] of

this class shows that this class prints an IFRAME tag that references an external site. This portlet is editable

and viewable by HTML browsers. The preferences bind the name src with the default value of http://www.gfa.org.

The auth value, if set to true, will attempt to authenticate the user to the external IFrame application. The authtype value can be set to basic or form. Basic authentication appends the login information to the URL and form

authentication requires a post to the external IFrame application. The form-method value can be set to get or

post. This is only used if you are using form authentication. The user-name value sets the user name for authentication. If you are using basic authentication, then you just need to set the user name. If using form authentication, you need to set the user name as a key value pair like acme_login=test@acme.com. The password

value sets the password for authentication. If using basic authentication, you just need the password. If using

form authentication, set the password as a key value pair like acme_password=password. The hidden-variables value is used for form authentication. Some forms require certain prepopulated fields in order to proceed

with authentication. Separate each key and value with a = and each key value pair with a ;. Users must have

either the Power User or User role to access this portlet. The roles can be changed at run time via the Admin

portlet.
