Using SDK Log In to Laserfiche Repository using Windows Credentials

SDK

Updated January 4, 2016

asked on December 31, 2015

We are using Session.Log(username, password) option to log into Laserfiche repository but this expects a local account and its associated credentials but we want to use domain/windows account. As per Session.Login() method's description it "logs in to currently connected repository using the current threads windows credentials" but not sure how to use it.

Any example?

See the "Using Windows Authentication with JRA" section in the SDK help file. Authenticating with Windows through JRA requires Kerberos configuration. The steps are detailed in the help file.

It's an overloaded method so you can call Session.LogIn() without any parameters to log in using the current thread's Windows credentials.

Yeah thanks for the prompt response and I do get.

Actually I want to first confirm that is there two ways to log in using SDK, through windows account credentials and another through local laserfiche account, if so, what are the different methods (code related) to do so.

In Session.Log(username, password), is the username and password for the windows account or for the local account?

Hope this makes more sense.

Thanks in advance.

Also providing our .Net code to connect to Laserfiche server and repository and which is not working for the domain account but works well for the local laserfiche account:

RepositoryRegistration repository = new RepositoryRegistration(LFServerName, LFRepoName, LFPort, LFSecurePort);

Session session = new Session();
session.Connect(repository);

if (session.IsConnected)
{
// Log in using Laserfiche authentication
session.LogIn(usr, pwd);

}

There are several existing threads on this topic: https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions?q=sdk+windows+impersonate. The details depend on whether it's a desktop application vs. web, if you have a usable identity or if you need to create one first, etc.

We are able to connect using .NET but through Java SDK we are getting this error:

No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: Failed to find any Kerber

os tgt))

com.laserfiche.protocol.HttpException: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism

level: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: Failed to find any Kerber
