Creating a custom builder to provide LDAP data access

Is possible use this as Login Authorization like username and password

To complement my previous post the reason for doing this is that I wanted to be able to make this inputs configurable via portlet preferences.

But when I tried this I started getting errors like the fore-mentioned one.

I tried via regular variables and even through resource bundles, but nothing helped.

If this functionality is not available maybe a good nudge in the right direction might enable me to be able to contribute this functionality to the wiki.

Thank you,

Does this builder support indirect referencing?

I've tried to make the ldapurl, binduser and bind password configurable but I always get returned errors.

For example I get the following parsing error if I try to pull the URL from a variable.

javax.naming.NamingException: Cannot parse url: ${Variables/localizer/Data/ldapurl} [Root exception is java.net.MalformedURLException: Invalid URI: ${Variables/localizer/Data/ldapurl}]

Understood thanks Kevin.

I've used the LJO approach before for registering and updating user info, but I'll look into

com.bowstreet.webapp.WebAppAccess.getUserInfo

Thanks

To work with PUMA in Portlet Factory, you can write Java classes and reference them through a Linked Java Object builder. Portlet Factory also provides the following API which can provide access to some of the Portal user information.

com.bowstreet.webapp.WebAppAccess.getUserInfo

This provides an instance of the com.bowstreet.webapp.util.UserInfo interface which has a getAttribute method that can be used to obtain the value of the provided attribute for the current user.

This is a great builder thanks.

Now, you mentioned the following about PUMA above:

"There are some techniques available that can easily facilitate the use of the WebSphere Portal PUMA API within Portlet Factory"

Could you elaborate a bit on this?

Now I've worked with PUMA on portlet factory before by creating normal some java classes which are then referenced through Linked Java Objects in my models.

Is this what you meant by your comment or is there another way that better integrates the PUMA with porlet factory like some sort of PUMA builder similar to what you accomplished here with your LDAP Builder?

Thank you

I reattached the files and they appear to be working now.
