Authentication in Harmoni is handled by Harmoni's implementation of the Authentication OSID. This implementation makes use of several other agent-management systems, namely: TokenCollector, AuthN Methods, and Agent-Token Mapping. The AuthNMethodManager and its various AuthNMethods are responcible for Authenticating user-passed tokens against some data-store, as well as specifying which AuthNToken class and TokenCollector should be used when interfacing with them. The TokenCollector's only resposibility is to request and retrieve user-passed tokens. The Agent-TokenMappingManager is responcible for maintaining mappings between AgentIds and the tokens that they correspond to in the various authentication systems.

Configuration

Below is a sample configuration script that uses two authentication methods, a local database, and an LDAP server.

...

// :: Set up the DatabaseManager ::
    $configuration =& new ConfigurationProperties;
    Services::startManagerAsService("DatabaseManager", $context, $configuration);

    $dbName = "adam_concerto";
    $dbID = $databaseManager->addDatabase( new MySQLDatabase("localhost", $dbName,"test","*****") );
    $databaseManager->pConnect($dbID);
    unset($databaseManager); // done with that for now

Usage

To initiate the authentication sequence, call the AuthenticationManager::authenticatUser($authenticationType) method. Below is an example of this usage from Polyphony's auth.login_type action. This polyphony action can simply be linked to from your application to provide authentication handling.

<?php
/**
* @package polyphony.modules.authentication
*/

$isAuthenticated = FALSE;
$authN =& Services::getService("AuthN");
$typeString = urldecode($harmoni->pathInfoParts[2]);
$typeParts = explode("::", $typeString);
$authType = new Type ($typeParts[0],$typeParts[1],$typeParts[2]);

$currentPathInfo = array_slice($harmoni->pathInfoParts, 3);
$returnHeader = "Location: ".MYURL."/".implode("/",$currentPathInfo);

if ($authN->isUserAuthenticated($authType)) {
    header($returnHeader);
}
// If we aren't authenticated, try to authenticate.
else {
    // Try authenticating with this type
    $authN->authenticateUser($authType);

    // If they are authenticated, return.
    if ($authN->isUserAuthenticated($authType)) {
        header($returnHeader);
    }
    
    // Otherwise, print our our failed-login screen:
    else {
        // Get the Layout compontents. See core/modules/moduleStructure.txt
        // for more info.
        $harmoni->ActionHandler->execute("window", "screen");
        $mainScreen =& $harmoni->getAttachedData('mainScreen');
        $statusBar =& $harmoni->getAttachedData('statusBar');
        $centerPane =& $harmoni->getAttachedData('centerPane');
        
        // Set our textdomain
        $defaultTextDomain = textdomain();
        textdomain("polyphony");
        
        
        ob_start();
        
        print "<p>";
        print _("Log in failed.");
        print "\n<br /><a href='".MYURL."/".implode("/",$currentPathInfo)."'>";
        print _("Go Back");
        print "</a> ";
        print _(" or ");
        print "\n<a href='".MYURL."/auth/login_type/".$harmoni->pathInfoParts[2]."/".implode("/",$currentPathInfo)."'>";
        print _("Try Again.");
        print "</p>";
        
        $introText =& new Block(ob_get_contents(), 2);
        ob_end_clean();
        $centerPane->add($introText, null, null, CENTER, CENTER);
        
        // go back to the default text domain
        textdomain($defaultTextDomain);
        
        // return the main layout.
        return $mainScreen;
    }
}
