Authenticate script

An authenticate script is required if you want to use pass-through authentication to the backend resource. If your connector does not need to authenticate to the resource, the authenticate script should allow the authId to pass through by default.

A sample authenticate script for an SQL database is provided in openidm/samples/scripted-sql-with-mysql/tools/AuthenticateScript.groovy.

The following connectors support pass-through authentication using the AuthenticateOp interface by default:

All Scripted Groovy-based connectors are capable of pass-through authentication if the AuthenticateScript.groovy script is implemented, but the only default implementation is the ScriptedSQL connector.
Input variables

The following variables are available to the authenticate script:

configuration

A handler to the connector’s configuration object.

options

A handler to the Operation Options.

operation

An OperationType that corresponds to the action (AUTHENTICATE).

objectClass

The object class being used to authenticate, such as __ACCOUNT__ or __GROUP__.

username

A string that provides the username to authenticate.

password

A guarded string that provides the password with which to authenticate.

log

A logger instance for the connector.

Returns

The user unique ID (ICF __UID__). The type of the returned UID must be a string or a Uid. The script must throw an exception in the case of failure.
