What does Liferay AutoLogin.login() API return?

The interface of AutoLogin.login() needs to return a String[] (see here).

What exactly should this array contain?

I saw some posts on StackOverflow where an array of 3 elements was returned: user, password, and a boolean flag. What is the intention of that boolean flag?

Solution

  • There are 3 arguments in credentials array

    userId = the id of the user is logged password = the user password boolean = this is needed do know if the password is encrypted if true than it with be saved in session as it is in the AutoLoginFilter

    session.setAttribute("j_password", password);

    else if it's false liferay encrypt the password before setting it to the session
