Custom Authentication Service

Q&A
1

In BonitaSoft site, in the section that explains about authentication services (http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/user-authentication-0#extraauth) is mentioned as follows: "In Subscription editions, Also it is possible to write your own authentication service. ".
Could you tell me where is the documentation on creating a custom service to environments beyond those presented in the documentation (JAAS, LDAP, OAuth, CAS …)?

Let’s suppose that I want to authenticate with data from a text file. What steps should I follow? What are the required classes? Where to save the .jar created?

Environment:
* BOS release: 6.3.6-Subscription-BonitaBPM
* Type of Environment: Development
* SO: Linux
* Java Version: Oracle JDK 1.7
* Container / App server - JBoss 5.x

Thank you …

You should:

  • Create a new Java class that implement GenericAuthenticationService. You can refer to AuthenticationServiceImpl for a reference implementation.
  • Package it as a jar file
  • Include the jar file in bonita.war (or in your application server lib folder where Bonita webapp can reach it)
  • Edit the <BONITA_HOME>/server/tenants/<TENANT_ID>/conf/services/cfg-bonita-authentication-impl.xml file and refer to your class instead of org.bonitasoft.engine.authentication.impl.AuthenticationServiceImpl
