Method Detail

checkCredentials

int checkCredentials(java.lang.String emailAddr,
                     java.lang.String password)
                     throws KKAdminException

Called if the LDAP module is installed and active. This method should return:

• A negative number in order for the login attempt to fail. The KonaKart login() method will return a null sessionId
• Zero to signal that this method is not implemented. The KonaKart login() method will perform the credential check.
• A positive number for the login attempt to pass. The KonaKart login() will not check credentials, and will log in the customer, returning a valid session id.

This method may need to be modified slightly depending on the structure of your LDAP. The example works when importing the exampleData.ldif file in the LDAP module jar: dn: cn=Robert Smith,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
cn: Robert Smith
cn: Robert J Smith
cn: bob smith
sn: smith
uid: rjsmith
userpassword: rJsmitH

The code attempts to connect to LDAP using the username, password and URL in the configuration variables set when the module was installed through the admin app.
After having connected, the person object is searched for using the email address of the user. If found we use the "cn" attribute and the password of the user to attempt to bind to LDAP. If the bind is successful, we return a positive number which means that authentication was successful.

Parameters:

emailAddr - The user name required to log in

password - The log in password

Returns:

Returns an integer

Throws:

KKAdminException
