Stupidfrog picture Stupidfrog · Nov 21, 2013 · Viewed 8.2k times · Source

in my scenario, user need to change password before first times login. how to make cas redirect url before login page?

in my app, i already define my own controller to handle certain URL, and also implement my own custom authentication under authenticationHandlers.

now only left this mechanism reset password before login.

can anyone give me a clue how to do it?

my maven project file: https://qeyg6a.bay.livefilestore.com/y2msQyFts1aCgGkYR4ybMses2mGFVNJBLCX_xQ9pDi8gVdnhx9P5ibVVBlg6p6T9RM3BAN8Qcz2Izo5JGdQzbyU-kSMTIwBVOYhkdG1RvsyE50/cas-server-webapp.rar?download&psid=1

My Solution

  1. create
resetPasswordView.(class)=org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView
resetPasswordView.url=/WEB-INF/view/jsp/default/ui/ResetPassword.jsp

in default_views.properties

  1. create
public class testflowAction extends AbstractAction{
    private String origin;

    @Override
    protected Event doExecute(RequestContext rc) throws Exception {
        origin = rc.getRequestParameters().get("service");
        if(true)
            return result("setNew");
        else
            return result("setNew");
    }

}
  1. in login-wenflow.xml, replace

<transition on="success" to="sendTicketGrantingTicket" /> with <transition on="success" to="customFlowCheck" />

also add

<action-state id="customFlowCheck">
        <evaluate expression="customCheckAction" />
  <transition on="ok" to="sendTicketGrantingTicket" />
  <transition on="setNew" to="resetPasswordView" />
</action-state>

and

<end-state id="resetPasswordView" view="resetPasswordView" />

We had similar problem in our company. The user had to be redirected to another page after successful login. We decided to add another outcome from action state id "realSubmit", that would indicate continuation of flow. I would suggest that you first let user to preform login, so he confirms that he's the right user. To do so you need to change submit method in your AuthenticationViaFormAction class. Then you need to destroy TGT, and redirect user to your custom Flow Action that reset password. It would look something like this:

    public final String submit(final RequestContext context, final Credentials credentials, final MessageContext messageContext) throws Exception {
    (...)
    //Login user, so we know that provided password is correct.
     WebUtils.putTicketGrantingTicketInRequestScope(context, this.centralAuthenticationService.createTicketGrantingTicket(credentials));
    // do custom logic, that check if it is first login attept:
    if( firstLoginAttempt(credentials) {
      //destroy TGT, so user won't stay logged-in after interrupting next step
      centralAuthenticationService.destroyTicketGrantingTicket(ticketGrantingTicketId);
      //redirect user to another action that will handle changing password
      return "changePassRequired"
    }

I don't know how you check if the password IS initial password, so I leave it to you. Next add transition in login-webflow.xml outcome:

    <action-state id="realSubmit">
    <evaluate expression="authenticationViaFormAction.submit(flowRequestContext,flowScope.credentials, messageContext)" />
    <transition on="warn" to="warn" />
    <transition on="success" to="sendTicketGrantingTicket" />
    <transition on="error" to="generateLoginTicket" />
    <transition on="accountDisabled" to="casAccountDisabledView" />
    <transition on="mustChangePassword" to="casMustChangePassView" />
    <transition on="accountLocked" to="casAccountLockedView" />
    <transition on="badHours" to="casBadHoursView" />
    <transition on="badWorkstation" to="casBadWorkstationView" />
    <transition on="passwordExpired" to="casExpiredPassView" />
    <transition on="changePassRequired" to="changePasswordPrepare" />
</action-state>

And add custom action, you might as well use the same form as in login action so break it into two states, for example:

<view-state id="changePasswordPrepare" view="resetPasswordView">
    <on-entry>
        <evaluate expression="resetPasswordAction.setupForm(flowRequestContext)" />
    </on-entry>
    <transition on="submit" bind="true" validate="true" to="resetPasswordRealAction">
    </transition>
</view-state>
<action-state id="resetPasswordRealAction">
    <evaluate expression="resetPasswordAction.submit(flowRequestContext)" />
    <transition on="success" to="sendTicketGrantingTicket" />
    <transition on="again" to="changePasswordPrepare" />
    <transition on="error" to="generateLoginTicket" />       
</action-state>

resetPasswordAction.setupForm will prepare custom view with reset password form if it's needed resetPasswordAction.submit will get variables from your form, and preform changing password. snippet of class might look somewhat like this:

public class resetPasswordAction extends FormAction {
  public final String submit(final RequestContext context) throws Exception {
    final Credentials previousCredentials = context.getFlowScope().get("loginCredentials");
    final String oldPass = context.getConversationScope().get("pass");
    final String newPassword = context.getConversationScope().get("password");
    final String newPasswordagain = context.getConversationScope().get("passwordagain");
    if (!newPassword.equals(newPasswordagain) {
      return "again";
    }
    if ( everythingIsOk(previousCredentials.getUsername(),oldPass,newPassword)) {
      Credentials credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials();
      credentials.setUsername(previousCredentials.getUsername());
      credentials.setPassword(newPassword);
      WebUtils.putTicketGrantingTicketInRequestScope(context, this.casService.createTicketGrantingTicket(credentials));
      return "success";
    }
    return "error";
  }
  public Event setupForm(RequestContext context) throws Exception {
    final Locale locale = LocaleContextHolder.getLocale();
    context.getFlashScope().put("language",locale);
    context.getFlashScope().put("service",context.getRequestScope().get("service");
  }
}

You might as well be interested in CAM - CAS account management module, although it seems to be in early, theoretical phase.

You might as well be interested in cas 4, now in beta release as it seems to contain more elastic authentication logic. One, that you could use to do after login password reset.
