I'm trying to implement JSF authentication with PickeLink 2.6.0 (EAR, Wildfly 8.1.0), as shown in the PicketLink 'picketlink-authentication-jsf' quickstart. I provided an authentication marked with the @PicketLink annotation, but Identity.login() always returns FAILED. This is my JSF form:
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid styleClass="full">
<h:inputText value="#{loginCredentials.userId}" required="true"
pt:placeholder="Username" />
<h:inputSecret value="#{loginCredentials.password}" required="true"
pt:placeholder="Password" />
<h:commandButton value="Login" action="#{loginAction.login()}" />
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
This is my LoginAction bean in the WAR module:
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.enterprise.context.RequestScoped;
import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.inject.Named;
import org.picketlink.Identity;
import org.picketlink.Identity.AuthenticationResult;
import org.picketlink.credential.DefaultLoginCredentials;
@RequestScoped
@Named
public class LoginAction {
@Inject
private Identity identity;
@Inject
private DefaultLoginCredentials credentials;
protected Logger log = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getSimpleName());
public void login() {
this.log.info(String.format("%s => %s", this.credentials.getUserId(), this.credentials.getPassword())); // Does get printed!
AuthenticationResult result = this.identity.login();
this.log.info(result.toString());
if (AuthenticationResult.FAILED.equals(result)) {
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(
null,
new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,
"Authentication was unsuccessful. Please check your username and password "
+ "before trying again.", ""));
}
}
}
And my Authenticator in the EJB module:
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.inject.Inject;
import org.picketlink.annotations.PicketLink;
import org.picketlink.authentication.BaseAuthenticator;
import org.picketlink.credential.DefaultLoginCredentials;
@PicketLink
public class Authenticator extends BaseAuthenticator {
@Inject
private DefaultLoginCredentials credentials;
@Inject
private ApplicationAuthenticator applicationAuthenticator;
protected Logger log = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getSimpleName());
@Override
public void authenticate() {
this.log.info("authenticate"); // Not printed!
this.log.info(String.format("%s => %s", this.credentials.getUserId(), this.credentials.getPassword()));
ProcessResult auth = this.applicationAuthenticator.authUser(
this.credentials.getUserId(), this.credentials.getPassword());
this.log.info(auth.toString());
if (auth.getResult()) {
this.setStatus(AuthenticationStatus.SUCCESS);
this.log.info(AuthenticationStatus.SUCCESS.toString());
} else {
this.setStatus(AuthenticationStatus.FAILURE);
this.log.info(AuthenticationStatus.FAILURE.toString());
}
}
}
Looks as if my Authenticator is not called at all. This is what I get from the log:
12:25:00,093 INFO [LoginAction] (LoginAction.java:27) defaultuser => defaultpass
12:25:00,105 INFO [idm] (DefaultPartitionManager.java:165) PLIDM001000: Bootstrapping PicketLink IDM Partition Manager

The PicketLinks jars are at $EAR_ROOT/lib.
I read the docs at http://docs.jboss.org/picketlink/2/latest/reference/html-single/ and it looks like I'm not missing anything. Why can't I get my Authenticator to work?
After getting more familiar with CDI I realized my silly mistake (the answer wasn't in PLINK docs, but in EE docs). All I needed was to add
@Named
@RequestScoped
to the bean. It still won't work without setting the account after setting the authentication status (I missed that):
this.setStatus(AuthenticationStatus.SUCCESS);
this.setAccount(new User(username)); // <-- don't miss this!
